Even though he has created many very complicated watches, French watchmaker Francois-Paul Journe has always been interested in accuracy above all. His newest timepiece, the Chronom��tre Optimum, which made its debut last week at the F.P. Journe boutique in New York City, takes the quest for timekeeping precision to a new level.The Chronom��tre Optimum, which Journe calls the “masterpiece” of his eponymous brand’s Souveraine collection, incorporates in its manufacture movement all of the technologies that Journe has developed �� which have previously debuted in other Souveraine watches �� to ensure ideal timekeeping precision and stability.The new watch includes a double barrel with two springs, in a parallel arrangement that helps to reduce friction by eliminating the lateral pressure on the wheel.

AP Diver help please!!
Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum, I have been lurking for a few months now and this looks like a very friendly place, very active with a wealth of information and pictures designed to tempt and push any would be owner in the right direction!! I know it seems daft, but I promised myself I would not post here until I was an actual AP owner, it was almost like motivation to speed up my purchase!! That said, I can not hold back any more, as I need some info that will effect my purchase. The Diver is the one I have not been able to get off my mind thanks to you guys and your amazing pics, your killing me!! One more month and I'm good to go, ready to buy. Sorry for the long winded intro, my question is - how long is the standard Diver strap including the watch? Do you think it would it fit my 8 wrist with both strap loops in use?

Explorer on brown leather strap: doesn��t work for me!
My wife wears the Explorer in rotation with her white 116520. Thought I change it up a bit and try for the first time a leather strap for her to match the brown purse etc. just change it up a bit. Ordered this Hirsch strap from Amazon and put it on today. She didn't like it, and frankly neither did I. The color didn't match any of her stuff either. The strap also was a bit thick around the spring bar, and it rubbed against the sharp edge of the watch as it rotated around the spring bar so not sure if I can return it now. You can see the scraped discolored part at 6 and 12 position. Oh well. Thought I share these pics anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
