Adam, your friend Simon Brette did build a beautiful piece, he's going to no doubt get alot of attention in the watch world. The dial is exceptional, the back is definitely symmetrical. The hands really stand out as well. Simon has a great eye and his attention to detail is very noticeable. If he is a up and coming watchmaker, then this piece shows he has arrived. Again, beautiful watch and wish his brand great success. Great episode Adam, with special thanks to your friend Sasha😊
Excellent watch! He is doing it right! Also really appreciate his acknowledgement of "suppliers"/other artists involved. Traditional Swissmaking relied on bringing best of the best in each area together without current focus on "in-house" circle jerk. There have been news that these shops focusing on dials, hands, casemaking etc. have been struggling lately. Also looking at some of the vintage auction results they are truly valued in some examples like Patek's Hagmann-made ("JHP") cases.
I have a decent size wrist and I can wear a 41 to 44 mm watch without a problem, but I have a 36 mm Rolex Explorer and I love wearing that. It takes me a moment to get used to it after wearing a chunky watch, but it’s comfortable, looks fine and I tend to forget I have it on. BTW, fantastic watch. I love the way Simon designed the hands, I’m not sure I like the dial material. And actually they didn’t really discuss it so I don’t even know what it is.
Thanks Adam for introducing Simon Brett’s watches. 39-41MM is optimal for most men. I am hesitant to wear 36MM as being too small. Thought: is this how FP Journe started in business with a vision and a dream?
Absolutely when compared to other 6K watches. Not my style but definitely appreciate the skill, passion and hard work that has created a unique movement and design.

Couldn't agree more!
This watch is a tremendous achievement - made even better by Simon's humble and unique approach. Thanks for making this episode - great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well put together show🔥👍…Thanks Adam, Sasha & Simon🙏🙏🙏
Matthieu Allégre is a kick ass designer.

I presume yes. FPJ is truly a visionary!
Adam, I would love to see you interview Roland Murphy, owner of RGM in Lancaster PA.
Would be great!
Most beautiful contemporary watch by far.
Agreed!
It looks like a watch captain nemo I'd were very fancy
It's nice but is it 6K nice?

@@deandixon2141 You could get two Longines or a Speedy and Tissot for that cash.
They are a bit more than 6k, and all sold out for many years to come sadly :(
Your kidding I don’t think so
Not my style
That’s the best part about watches, there are no wrong opinions.
