The more I wear this, the more I appreciate it. It's a stunning under the radar, beautiful watch. The tantalum case is quite special as well. All round awesome piece.

One of the 2 short lists for a PC for me. Keep coming back to it just not sure how the numerals are applied. Printed or what?

KarlS · 25 September 2016, 02:46 AM

A great AC in 40 mm. Ocra Divine

kunlun · 25 September 2016, 07:11 AM

AC?
Definitely the new Octa Divine in Pt is lovely.

Yes, the numerals are printed at FPJ's own dial manufacture.

PP 5327 blue dial....sadly printed FPJ has put me off.

onkyo · 4 October 2016, 09:41 PM

Nice pics!

Anyways, I am a fan..... FPJ goes so well with a slightly dirty martini.

Thx! The boutique sales person told me she didn't know too many people that could pull off the green. I also ordered the bright blue strap which is taking a while to arrive.

I would say the printed numerals are a design decision, certainly not a decision based on saving money! It keeps the dial sleek in my opinion.

This is an excerpt from Kiran Shekar's "FP Journe: The First 30 Years". It gives us an idea about FPJ's general philosophy:

That watch would go well with just about anything!

Well he did it differently with the new CS which I prefer and would think on a $78000 watch the PC would gave applied numerals but that's just me being OCD

Hollister · 5 October 2016, 06:38 AM

Hi Karl. The other side of this coin is that no other manufacture makes its movements in 18ct gold, and with finishing second to none. Pretty exclusive as well, with only around 8-900 pieces per year.

If I were to ever buy a PC, it would be the FPJ. The PPs look either muddled or ugly in comparison, IMO.

The watch I really want is the tourbillon, above.

KarlS · 5 October 2016, 06:44 AM

Sure. But when you go to that effort on the movement why not spend a bit more attention to numerals

I really don't know, and tbh it's not something I'd ever given any thought to. I think there's a lot more to a dial than just the numerals. Layout, materials, and finishing, for example. I really like the look of most FPJ dials, there's a romanticism and French flair for design which makes a lot of other watches look a little humdrum and "safe" in comparison. You really couldn't mistake an FPJ for anything else. This sort of design either appeals, or it doesn't.

But the beating heart of all watches is the movement, and for me, that trumps almost all other considerations.

If printed numerals really are a deal-breaker for you, so be it. There's no shortage of alternatives.
