A very rare and special incoming?

So, this just happened. Never paid attention to FP Journe before as I thought their pieces were too dressy for me personally.

However, when I happen to stumbled across the Elegante reference I was hooked. Then I started going down the rabbit hole and, I found that everything this lone was just it bizarre but beautiful at the same time. Yeah, the whole quartz movement thing is mind blowing and not for everyone but for me, it fits well in my collection.

I’ve only handled it for a few hours but all I can say is that I love it. It sits perfectly on my wrist and its so light you have to check twice to see that’s really there.

So far it rivals the feel of my 5167a in every aspect. We’ll have to see if this stands the test of time after a week. Oh, and the fact that you can change its different colored straps on the go is in my opinion, the cherry on top.

Here are some pics for your amusement. Take care, guys.

Awesome. I love high end quartz, and this is as high end as it gets. Used to have a grand seiko in quartz. As of a few years ago Patek and AP were even selling quartz (maybe they still are?)

I am expecting to receive an Eleganté for my wife soon (hopefully before our trip to Switzerland and France). Beautiful watch. Congratulations.

Congratulations Logan

No doubt more would comment, but your incoming gets buried by the new releases.
