It was by coincidence that earlier this year I spent an unhealthy amount of time researching a specific trio of watches, of which I was told existed in the wild but had no record of their making within the F.P.Journe archives. It was through a conversation I had with Mr. Journe in October 2018…

It’s been three months since the unveiling of the 2019 Only Watch catalogue and with it, F.P.Journe’s highly anticipated grand complication timepiece, the Astronomic Blue.

Tuesday Cocktails at the Geneva Boutique
Earlier this month I was spending the week in Geneva and to my chance, attend the first launch of F.P. Journe’s monthly Tuesday Cocktails.

Personal Opinions: The Ultimate Journe 3/3
Before diving into what I find completes the trio of the most desirable Journe watches (more like movements), I will begin by saying that this particular choice wasn’t an easy one. Plenty of thought went into this as I was faced with somewhat of a dilemma. When I first decided to write about this…

Analysis: What One Can Learn From AP’s Code
With the recent launch of Audemar Piguet’s new 11.59 collection, I took the time to join the strong crowds of protesting watch fans, and yet also some time to analyze. I have to admit, reading the online comments was the best part of my weekend as some people can get very, very, creative with…

“On-demand” with The F.P. Journe Répétition Minutes
The F.P. Journe Répétition Minutes (RM) made its debut in 2008 as the thinnest repeater in the market. While that title has since been reclaimed by other competitors since, the RM is still one of the most remarkable repeaters in the market, and the only pure minute repeater wristwatch offered by F.P. Journe since…
