The one-of-one piece he created for Only link Watch, the FFC Blue, is classic Journe, but with a link cinematic twist. It was born in 2012 after a comment from Francis Ford Coppola, the legendary director of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now (and, for the link real heads, One From The Heart).

Finally, the most complicated release of the day, the new Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph, is focused link almost entirely on executing a comprehensive two-tone design.
