Yes PP should be the "winning" timepiece in terms of amount of money reached. But independents offer true lovely timepieces and FPJ should be one of the "winners" among all of them for sure if we look at the PuristS selections

A little survey 🤓
What is your top five (in order of preference) among the 50 watches for Only Watch 2017? Here is the link to see all the watches: www.onlywatch.com My ranking: 1/ F.P. Journe Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante 2/ Kari Voutilainen 28S 3/ Konstan...
mine...In this order or in another
in this order or other 1 F.P.Journe 2 H. Moser & Cie 3 Tudor 4 Speake-Marin 5 Chaykin
Only three I really like...
(1) F.P. Journe Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante (2) Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar (3) Kari Voutilainen 28S
Thank you
Three is already a sufficient number. And it seems the FP Journe wins all the votes for the moment. Best wishes Alkiro
I hope they will do more after this!
Just imagine...the craziness of Uhrwerk combined with the delicate beauty and finishing of LF. (!!!)
My top five, in alphabetical order, not ranking:
Arnold & Son Audemars Piguet H.Moser & Cie Jaquet Droz Konstantin Chaykin I seem to have a preference for red, as 4 of my 5 picks have red themes.
In alphabetical order
AP FPJ Montblanc PP UN I'm guessing that both the AP and FPJ pieces will each reach half a million. A foregone conclusion that the PP will be the top price. I think the Montblanc & UN pieces could be steals.
Bringing the Avantgarde and the Technically Smooth/Classic together should yield an interesting result I hope....
thank you for posting this very interesting survey. All the Best, S
My pleasure my friend
Like you, I'm really impatient to see what the LF/Urwerk partnership could create. Best wishes Alkiro
There's none I'd really like to have, but the most interesting for me are:
1. AP 2. Voutilainen 3. FP Journe 4. Moser 5. Blancpain
My top 4
In order of descending visceral desire of ownership as an object to have on wrist and gaze at and play with: 1 PP- because the MR sound on a titanium case must be insane 2 FPJ- because of the dial and the homage and because its the only real piece unique ...
FP Journe it is...
one is a better choice ;-) I think both the dial & the movement speaks out for itself! (though I think chronographs are redundant complication - purely personal opinion). Best, mahesh.,
Voutilainen, FPJ and Patek
But probably Patek, without much doubt, still gonna take the crown again in terms of bidding results in this year's Only Watch.
Yes definitely! and also with most sincerity
Totally agree with that especially with the brand new movement of FPJ instead of just changing colors on a pre-existing model! FPJ always throw tons of surprise on Only Watch
Hmm, is anyone liking the Breguet?
I find the dial layout very interesting and very well executed. For me the top piece. CC
i will stick with classic timepieces
-blancpain tribute to fifty fathoms mil spec -breguet classic quantième perpetuel en ligne -piaget black tie vintage watch -voutilainen 28s -montblanc 1858 chronograph
Kari, FPJ, Jacquet Droz, Moritz Grossman, Blancpain
I don't think anyone has selected these 5 yet!! I have always liked JD, I wish their dials were smaller, to match the elegant layouts that they have. The Blancpain just lookks very cool. And with the special font type used on the dial, I found the Moritz ...
I think you're the first one who selected the Moritz Grossmann. But it's an excellent choice. Very classy and elegant timepiece with them. No lack of taste
Regarding JD dial/case sizes, I'm fully agree with you. I would like to see smaller case sizes rather than the 43mm ones for instance. For such dressy timepieces, it's a little bit too big for me. Best wishes Alkiro
For me, the dial and its layout are the most important part of a watch....
I know what I like in dials, I am a huge fan of Kari, GO (I know you agree with me a lot on this!!), and I've always been a huge fan of the JD dials. Lots of enamel/porcelain, clean dials... even up to 41mm I could live with. But 43mm for such a thin case...
I owned this one (Les Lunes) and the case was perfect (40.5mm)
And I really love the Date Astrale in 39mm. Some could say it's made for women but I don't think so. Very classy and poetic for me. Best wishes Alkiro ...
Thanks for sharing!
Both very unique indeed. The Astrale doesn't look feminine to me at all tbh!
Soooo many nice ones....
But the Journe is just the top top top piece!! This will go for insane amount of money (along with the Patek)... but wow is is beautiful and orange The Kari is probably next, but then the Debethune interests me too... The Montblanc is a beautiful piece. T...
Yes the FPJ is incredible. Dial and mouvement are just... WOW!!!
That's cool you're the first one to select the De Bethune. Really creative and impressive timepiece I had the chance to see in real. Best wishes Alkiro
Do you have a picture to share now that it is announced?
Its a table clock or wall or .....? So next question... whats the least favourite... Cheers Andrew
I posted a thread about it yesterday
Regarding the one I like the least, well, I would say the Jacob & Co. it makes me think to a Transformer... 😁 Best wishes Alkiro ...
Kari!
Then Journe for its movement. The dial, like many other watches is trying too hard. The KV is poise, composure, class.
Don't you find Kari's dial is a bit disorienting, at a certain limit disappointing?
It is said to be sports... A sandwich dial, no decoration, with an exquisite and movement, as always. The spirit of he dial is a bit in contradiction with the rest of the watch. Contradiction, inconsistence, or just out of the beaten paths? Best, Nicolas
No it was fun!
A Voutilainen with a 'Panerai' sandwich dial! I understand where you are coming from, but the contradiction is what makes it fun.
I know the full story but my lips are sealed.
Too bad we keep missing meeting each other. Not by lack of trying on my part. Best. Take care. Z'
Agree with you about Journe's mouvement. Absolutely gorgeous and stunning. Regarding the dial, the only thing, for me, which can be disturbing are the colours used which don't necessarily work together (a wonderful blue with red and yellow).
Of course, I would like to see it in real in order to confirm or not my first feeling about this element. About KV, its dial is may be a little bit too conventional when you compare it to what KV can offer. But, with a titanium case which signify a sporti...
The FPJ is far behind the other ones...
It introduces a new complication for the brand and maybe the most complex one. Fx
Here are my Top 3 (dream watches) and Top 3 (reality...according to estimates) in order of preference...
Dream Watches... 1. PP 2. FPJ 3. AP and then possible reality... 1. Montblanc 2. Blancpain 3. The Joker
When I win a lottery: 1) PP 2) FPJ 3) AP 4) KV 5) Urwerk+LP
But when wife says "nay nay": 1) Joker 2) JD 3) Montblanc 4) Moser 5) Tudor
