This 2012 Novelty was released as a Boutique Edition from F.P. Journe. It has incredible visual and physical presence stemming from the heft of the 40mm platinum case and the beautiful mother of pearl dial. While the case is 40mm, the lugs slope generously downwards allowing a smaller wrist to wear the watch. The spring bars and strap follow the case shape but are not pinning the strap to the flanks of the case. This allows the strap to easily rotate downwards and hug the wrist without flaring out against the wrist.  The spring bars are also pull-tab release, allowing you to easily switch out the strap avoiding scratching the platinum case. 

F.P. Journe also uses alligator on the top and the bottom of the strap. On the top, you'll see a large scale alligator while on the bottom you'll see a smaller scale. Traditionally, calfskin is used along the inside of the strap as it is more affordable and is supple against the wrist. Calfskin however is not as durable as alligator so by using the alligator, F.P. Journe is ensuring longevity and durability of the strap and watch. 

Looking at the dial, you'll see the Mother of Pearl layered atop the silvered base. This forms a traditional railroad style minute track along the outer dial. On this track, you'll also see hand pained lacquered numerals. In classic F.P. Journe fashion the numbers very in size around the dial making room for the sub registries. The classic heat-oxidized biomorphic hands are used, creating beautiful contrasting blues across the watch found in the Mother of Pearl, hands, numerals and moonphase.
