F.P.Journe Watches

François-Paul Journe is an independent master watchmaker who has been conceiving and manufacturing Haute Horology timepieces for over forty years. His horological history expertise and knowledge have led him to show a timeless consistency in his research and innovation.

The F.P.Journe manufacture embodies excellence, know-how, and innovation. Only nine hundred precision chronometers are produced annually in an endless journey for perfection. Each caliber is made of precious 18K rose gold, a unique feature of F.P.Journe. It is entirely conceived and made in the Geneva Manufacture and bears the engraved inscription Invenit et Fecit, a hallmark of authenticity and quality seal. This inscription was engraved on watches manufactured by eighteenth-century French master-watchmakers upon their acceptance at the Royal Academy of Sciences.

The components are decorated, polished, and beveled by hand with precise and patiently repeated gestures until they are flawless, even though some parts are sometimes invisible to the naked eye. The movements are assembled from beginning to end by the same watchmaker, a long-lost art in today’s industrial watchmaking. F.P.Journe prides itself on its vertical production. The dials and cases are also made in-house and blend perfectly with the movement.
