FP Journe Quantieme Perpetual - Any owners

[KarlS]

I am a huge PP fan and been cogitating on a PC and trying to understand emotionally and mentally with the premium for a PC is warranted above an AC. ALS I keep looking at and find the dial fussy to cluttered to read properly but would love to find space for an ALS one day. Big attraction is the large date which is the second most important function on a watch for me on a daily basis.

PP with the dials just looks like everything has been sucked down by gravity and I am struggling to fall in love with any of those. I think I have concluded that Windows versus dials for day, date etc works better for me.

Today in the Miami Boutique I was presented with the FPJ PC and others. I never really gave this much thought as I always thought the salmon colour dial was gross and the flower shaped dial just weird.

In the flesh the platinum was absolutely gorgeous. Photos do it no favours. From a movement perspective all the functions are changed via the crown versus push buttons in the case. And heading to perfection the date, month and day switch over at exactly the same time. No gradual changes over hours so that's s horological improvement that few have. It also has a 120 hour PR which is great for a PC although it is automatic.

Resale on this brand is awful but this watch has made me wake up to other alternatives. Are there any owners who can share pictures or give a personal and unbiased view of the watch.
