FP Journe Chrono Bleu close up

Hi all,

I just wanted to share the handcraft of the movement 1304, this is hand made to the contrary of what I have see on some vids on YouTube. The details are fantastic.
The pics are a bit less, took them with a cheap macro you clip on the phone camera.

So can you, or anyone else, confirm that the guilloche (barley corn) on the baseplate is engine turned rather than stamped?

Yes, a giant step above Patek finishing.

The “cuts” in the barley corn look too “deep” to be stamped, but I am not 100% sure.
