Each summer, AY & TY STYLE set out on a journey northward to Hokkaido, a quest blending escape, discovery, and a deep appreciation for time and style. This year, the F.P. Journe Élégante Titalyt® 48 mm accompanied them—a striking presence on the wrist. Its lightweight titanium case paired with a vibrant pink rubber strap strikes a perfect balance between sporty flair and refined craftsmanship, speaking to motion with subtlety. It was the ideal companion for a road trip defined by both freedom and control.
As the Ferrari Purosangue carried them along winding roads, the watch’s smooth curves and tactile finish echoed the car’s poised performance. Confident and purposeful, yet never ostentatious, the Élégante brought a vibrant splash of personality to the journey—its pink strap a subtle declaration of fearless style.
With every mile, the watch caught shifting light and scenery, a reminder that precision and beauty move effortlessly together.
In Hokkaido, AY & TY STYLE spent time with close friends watching baseball — a simple joy beneath the wide summer sky. The local game unfolded quietly but with earnest cheer, a moment of connection and ease.
Later, they enjoyed a lovely dinner at a countryside restaurant near Sapporo, surrounded by golden fields. The farmhouse’s warm wooden interiors and soft light offered a gentle backdrop where timepieces like the Vagabondage I and Vagabondage III revealed their mechanical artistry, quietly captivating amid the relaxed ambiance.
The Vagabondage I and Vagabondage III are masterpieces of F.P. Journe’s innovative spirit, each pushing the boundaries of mechanical watchmaking. The Vagabondage I, introduced in 2004, features a unique wandering hours display with a minimalist yet striking design housed in a platinum Flat Tortue® case. Its rare editions and refined finishing make it a coveted collector’s piece. The Vagabondage III takes innovation further as the world’s first wristwatch to combine digital jumping hours and digital jumping seconds, with a smoked sapphire dial revealing its intricate mechanics beneath. Both models embody a perfect balance of technical mastery and artistic elegance, making them standout companions during AY & TY STYLE’s serene farmhouse evenings.
The farmhouse evenings offered a quiet contrast to the kinetic energy of the day. As the watches caught the fading light, their intricate details told stories of craftsmanship, innovation, and passion. For AY & TY STYLE, this journey was far more than a drive or a destination—it was a celebration of time itself, marked by pieces that honored both the thrill of movement and the serenity of pause.
