2023 FPJ Novelty: FFC

Hey guys,

Looks like the FFC (based on the 2021 only watch prototype) is now a regular part of the catalogue and will be for sale to customers. Any idea if it's boutique only or also distributed to retailers? And anybody have any ideas on pricing? Very cool piece.

It is going to be very limited and the price is about USD900000. I thought it would be about $650 a few months back but I guess it is coming at the high end.

Is that USD price before tax? My AD told me the local price is around S$1.4m.

Yes, the price is 820k chf before tax. Little customization could be possibly made.

It's a really cool timepiece, am glad FPJ is making more of them available.

I consider myself very fortunate to own two Journes. With how steep these prices are getting wether it’s MRSP or secondary market, I fear that I’m priced out. Time to get a third job lol

Yes, available versus never ever making more. Thus a true one-off (?bad?) you may never see in a collection or museum. Making more means more possibilities.

Yes, I have been waiting for it since only watch. Really appreciate Journe is putting it into "regular" collection. The sliver hand is actually amazing IMO.

Wonder what is coming for Only Watch next. I should start saving the pennies for the next "regular" Only Watch...

Historically, until 2021...OnlyWatch wasn't that bad price wise.

If 2023 is like 2017 or 2019...it seems pretty doable to get something from a brand that isn't massive/red hot.

I think FPJ's creation will be $$$ though lol :)
