F.P. Journe Quantieme Perpetuel Watch Exclusive Look
I am just a few miles right now from the F.P. Journe manufacture here in Geneva. Earlier tonight, I saw Francois-Paul and said hello. He doesn't speak much English, but that doesn't stop me from understanding his watches completely. With under 1000 watches made each year, F.P. Journe is not only a boutique watch brand, but a watch brand's watch brand. What I mean by this is that his timepieces are coveted by normal customers as well as watchmakers alike.

Today I'll take a look at two watches, both for sale in next Monday's Christie's Geneva sale, that are simply divine vintage watches, and could in fact both sell at the low end of estimates simply because, well, they're not Pateks. And that is just silly. Strangely, they both happen to hav

So I got the wife her first proper Patek...
... pics below.Seriously, it's for her to wear. She likes larger case sizes, so the 36mm is perfect for her. She also strongly, strongly prefers bracelets over leather straps, which made it a bit difficult to find a proper mechanical Patek for her. She loves it.And it is pure coincidence that our wrists are almost the same size. Really, this is her watch. No, no, I wouldn't dream of borrowing/wearing this watch. Would I...?
