F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain With Constant Force Escapement And Dead Seconds Available On James List
This is a hell of a F.P. Journe watch from about 2004-2005 and really resonates with me because it epitomizes what I like in the brand. Some of their other watches just feel like too little for too much, but this Tourbillon Souverain came out when the brand was smoking hot, and everyone was paying attention. An earlier F.P. Journe's Tourbillon Souverain was released before this model, but this watch added a lot to the timepiece and refined the looks of the face. Aside from looking cool, this timepiece has a ton of interesting things going on inside.For one thing, you have a very clean exhibition of the tourbillon on the dial instead of looking through to your wrist between sandwiches of sapphire crystal, you see the tourbillon escapement on a plate of gold with perlage polishing.

My Franc Vila EVOS 8 Cobra Watch Article On AskMen.com
Right before I wrote this article I was fortunate enough to actually meet with Franc Vila himself. He showed me a selection of watches from his collection, including the Cobra models that I wrote about for AskMenwatches-dealer (see link below). It was interesting that I met with the man who made a watch I was about to write about. I was literally assigned to write about the watch a few hours before I met him, so it was a total coincidence really. He is a charismatic fellow who is more a watch enthusiast turned watch company owner as opposed to being a introverted watch maker like the hardcore fellows. He has a deep connection with the designs and a close relationship with his customers. What amazed me about the watch is just how solid they felt. If you've ever picked up a watch that felt like lots of pieces put together, you'll now what I mean. The Franc Vila watches feel like one solid piece. Check out my discussion of his mainstream Cobra Chronograph line of watches.See my Franc Vila

My First Patek - 3 candidates which one?
Patek fans,I have now tried 3 Pateks I fancy hands-on and I genuinely like them all. Which one should I buy?The watch will be used primarily with a suit, but versatility is a clear bonus.My current collection includes watches in the sport-dress categories: Rolex 116619 (WG), IWC Portuguese 5001-01 (YG), AP ROO Black Themes (Steel). 1. 5205R Black Dial.PROS: Simply stunning.CONS: Very dressy and flashy. Risk of being overdressed at work. Maybe slightly too small.2. 5164.PROS: Very comfortable and versatile. Great look and watch presence. GMT function.CONS: Rubber with a suit. Maybe too much the casual lifestyle watch.3. 5276 White Dial.PROS: Very beautiful and versatile. Love the moon calendar. It goes with everything. CONS: Right in between a sports watch and a dress watch. Which one should be my first Patek?
