Independents

It came down to a choice between this and the 40mm DB25 perpetual. I love both, but even I couldn’t justify adding both to my collection. In the end I gave up the moonphase for having all the indicators in windows and highly legible. The sizing and balanc...  

Beautiful piece. Enjoy

That fp is my favorite non-moonphase PC. Looks great.

That DB is striking. But the FPJ QP is amongst the most impressive around.

The DB is one of the most beautiful watches I’ve ever seen. At 40mm it’s perfect - always thought the 44mm was too big for the dial design. The day and month windows look a little on the small side to my eyes - but the date dial was the dealbreaker for me... 

This one is so beautiful. I had a chance to try it on. It’s so amazing. So innovative with the way to set time and date without pushers.

Not many manufacturers make them. Great pick in the end

But I strongly prefer DB as I find it a lot more special. BTW, I am a happy owner of DB 15 perpetual and wouldn't not trade it for any of these two 😄. Anyway, thus is just me. Congrats on a great new watch!

I can quite understand your love for the DB15 perpetual. I have the DB25 Starry Varius GMT in my collection and truly appreciate the renaissance man qualities of Denis Flageollet. The practicalities of the FPJ design won me over in this instance but I sti... 

Interesting dial but still balanced enough for daily wear. As you said the design finesses in the movement are very well thought through. A keeper for the long run 👌❤️

Definitely a daily wear contender and an absolute keeper. 😊

The DB is just not my taste… Now if only FPJ would add a seconds hand, it would be perfection! Congrats, enjoy.🥂

The subjectivity!! I like the absence of the seconds hand in this instance and the lack of visible motion and the quiet dial. Having said that I can also appreciate a running seconds hand - or 2 - or 3 🤣🤣 ...  

In my opinion, you made the right choice. I too prefer the FPJ. The dial is balanced and as you said, more legible. The instantaneous jump is a feat to behold and setting that QP is so easy. I’m surprised that FPJ doesn’t charge more for the QP. It’s a te... 

I must admit my personal favorite is the DB but that’s purely based on the looks . Can’t go wrong with either imho
