SJX has a really nice article on the Chronometre Furtif Bleu that is up for sale this month at the ONLYWATCH

A watch I really, really love. I hope something close to it will make it to regular production ...  

Very cool …

Count me in for one 😉

Oh yes. I hope it will be tantalum as well

Can you imagine how good that would be 👌

That and the movement where the irresistible parts of this piece.

And the 42 mm is a wonderful size for the integrated bracelet and such a thin case. Not excluding the enamel dial of course. So many components where just right in this piece.

Thin is in.

I really like the thin profile and material choice.

Yes. That is such a great quality.

What’s amazing about this watch is how simplex and complex it is at the same time.

Typical FPJ. Genius in simplicity.

Simple on the front and complication on the back

Such a strong concept

100%.

This is true of many of his models. Even the complicated ones are more complex than standard as a way to improve and drive progress. For example, I just looked at the perpetual. It does what all perpetual do. But setting it would be a dream compared to a ... 

Several years ago I was told that they were working on a new sport model, I can only imagine this is what they meant. Considering I still haven't gotten the ARS2 I put my name down for I imagine maybe in the next life for the standard production of this

Always new stuff in the pipeline with FP. It sometimes the process can last more than a decade. Several examples of this.

I heard a few months ago that a new sports model may be coming out soon. Don't know whether it is something completely new, an update to the ARS, or the Furtif, as there is also a rumor that a production version of the Furtif will be released.

As much as I'd want that, I'm guessing it will extremely difficult to get so impossible for me

Movement and tantalum bracelet are the features I like best

on this FPJ.

Incredible FPJ . Curious to see how much it will fetch

Yes, me too 🤞🤗

I’ll be the detractor here - very underwhelming watch. If this had said IWC few would have given it a second look.

 
 By: ChetBaker : May 7th, 2024-16:26

Hope this watch going to production soon.

I think this may effect the sale of ARS 2. I can see a few people requesting this watch over ARS 2.

Oh yes. Agreed🤗

Thank you for sharing the article , Christian. I like this piece for the dial and the bracelet. The “stealth” aspects don’t move me. I don’t particularly care for a moon phase and I like to see my power reserve. I’d still buy this watch, though. 😁
