Is anyone at the Inside Basel Show in NY?

Just finished our appointment at the FP Journe Boutique. Really amazing time pieces. Sorry I did not take any pictures. At least two of them were calling my name!

At the Pierre for a pre-show drink!

Found a new grail at the show. I never thought about this beauty before. Of course, I was told this is the only one in the states for sale at retail. It figures...



Gorgeous watch!

I wish I took pictures at FP Journe. I was mesmerized and totally forgot about pictures! I really loved the Octa Calendrier and the simple but beautiful Chronometre

Pics courtesy FP Journe. I tried all of these on:




And the lightest watch I have ever felt on the wrist (second only to those rubber bracelets with no watch) is the Octa Sport. The entire watch is made from a scratch proof aluminum alloy, including the movement!

That one is my favorite in the ones you posted, I hope you'll buy one someday...

Funny the one you picked was my favorite as well. If I remembered correctly, it is an annual calendar and it has been discontinued. There were only two left at the boutique, a gold and a platinum. I tried on the gold. It is being replaced by a totally different look perpetual calendar that will increase the price dramatically. I could not pull the trigger.

Great minds think alike it seems...

Thank you for the update regarding the brand, it's too bad this piece will not be available anymore but that's how it goes in this industry...
