F.P. Journe Releases Octa Perpetual Calendar
Independent watchmaker Francois-Paul Journe has added a ninth model to his eponymous brand’s Octa collection, called the F.P. Journe Quanti��me Perp��tuel, a perpetual calendar timepiece with an instantaneous jump function. The watch, which will be limited to 900 pieces, made its debut in Geneva during the SIHH and GTE watch fairs.A perpetual calendar (“quanti��me perp��tuel” in French) displays the exact date �� along with the day, month, and often the moon-phase �� by automatically taking into account the variable length of the months and leap-year cycle.

My first Breitling for my 30th.....
Well, Looks like I'm part of the Breitling Club. Today's my 30th Birthday and My parent's got me a Breitling Cockpit. I actually picked it up a couple of weeks ago and planned on it being my present to myself, but they insisted they wanted to get me something nice for me being three decades old.....so I handed it over to them....gift wrapped and all I happen to really like the watch, it's comfortable, and not one of the huge abomination's that Breitling loves to put out.I'm not big on fancy pics, and I haven't been home long enough to play with the camera. So here's a shot of it with the cell.

If this was your trio, what would you add next?
If you owned these 3 watches, which watch would you add to the collection next? I'm debating between some sort of sporty dress watch on leather or a white DaytonaC. Open to other suggestions and recommendations as well.
