I’m always interested in checking out what FGF is doing with their milles. Especially since they really have a such a different design sensibility than the SPW ones. There has been some discussion before about this model, so here’s a closer look and some first hand impressions .

First Impressions
The construction is similar in quality to a MIR piece, with stitching not being 100% perfect all the time, but the quality of the leather makes it easy to over look the shortcomings in the construction. The watch viewer looks natural on this piece, and doesn’t look like a last minute design decision. Still on the fence about whether the design is to my personal taste, but I can see those looking for a dressier look really liking this one. Overall a well made and designed piece with plenty of unusual details that will immediately make this piece stand out in the sea of mille designs.

The first thing you noticed about this piece was the quality of the leather. It’s unexpectedly soft and supple, much like the napa leather found on the AW ‘05 1/2 leather milles. The inside is only semi-lined and the reverse side of the leather is a soft suede. A two color screen print using the C.P. man image is a nice touch.

The underside of the of the lenses flap is constructed of cotton while the reverse side is leather. Differing from SPW milles, the hood has two side adjustment straps on the side of the hood, rather than a single one in the back.

Arm length is good. Shorter than the usual SPW ones. and has a re-enforced elbow with a perforations. The watch viewer has the C.P. logo printed on it and is clear enough to see your watch.
