After visiting F.P. Journe’s manufacturing amenities earlier this 12 months, I’ve a newfound appreciation for the model. Once I first noticed this new Chronographe FB, I had blended emotions. The Tokyo Boutique Anniversaire Collection is a becoming tribute to Journe’s first boutique, with a number of of the model’s iconic items launched within the crimson, gray, gold, and white mixture. This collection began with a Chronomètre Souverain (20 items) in 2005, then a Chronomètre à Résonance in 2006 (12 items). Subsequent was the Tourbillon Souverain in 2007 (20 items) and the Octa Perpétuelle in 2009 (99 items). Then, in 2016, the model launched a Centigraphe Souverain to rejoice the tenth anniversary of every of its boutiques (with 80 items complete). So what is the rub for me? I simply do not love the colours.
