}}F.P. Journe is a Swiss high-end watch manufacture founded in 1999 and named after the founder, François-Paul Journe. The only three-time winner of the Aiguille d'Or grand prize from the {{ill|Fondation du Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève|fr|Fondation du grand prix d'horlogerie de Genève}},[1] F.P. Journe focuses on complex precision chronometers[2] with a production of around 800 watches per year.[3]

F.P. Journe is the only watchmaker still based in central Geneva,[4] with company headquarters, manufacturing facilities, and an exhibition space with library housed in a converted gaslamp factory in the Coulouvreniere Rois neighborhood.[5][6][7] F.P. Journe also owns its own casemaker, Les Boîtiers de Genève, and its own dialmaker, Les Cadraniers de Genève, housed in the same facility in Meyrin,[8] a municipality in the Canton of Geneva.

The company's motto, Invenit et Fecit (Latin for "[He] invented it and made it"), denotes that the company designs and builds the entirety of the watch movements.[3][9]{{sfn|Shekar|2015|p=31}}

History

François-Paul Journe was born in Marseille in 1957.[10] An unruly child, he was sent to a local technical college at the age of 14. He went on to graduate from the Paris watchmaking school in 1976.

The motto of the brand, Invenit et Fecit (Latin for "[He] invented it and made it") denotes that the company designs and builds the entirety of the movements.[3][9] Journe's movement designs are original and he has invented completely new systems, such as the resonance chronometer.[11]

Journe was interviewed in 2008 by Lusso magazine. The writer, Oliver Walston, said "He welcomed me with a big smile, but perhaps this is because I already own two of his watches".[11]

Awards

F.P. Journe has won the Aguille d'Or grand prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie on three occasions: In 2004 for the Tourbillon Souverain à seconde morte,[1] the current-generation Tourbillon Souverain with dead beat seconds; in 2006 for the Sonnerie Souverain,[1] both a Grand Sonnerie and a Petit Sonnerie for which F.P. Journe received 10 patents;[11][12] and in 2008 for the Centigraphe Souverain,[1] a chronograph with timekeeping isolated from chronograph mechanism, allowing the chronograph to measure hundredths of a second despite a 3Hz movement.[13] No other manufacture has won the Aguille d'Or more than twice.

F.P. Journe has also won four category prizes at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie: the 2002 Special Jury Prize for the Octa Calendrier; the 2003 Men's Watch Prize for the Octa Lune; the 2005 Men's Watch Prize for the Chronomètre Souverain; and the 2010 Complicated Watch Prize for the Chronomètre à Résonance.[1]

Philanthropy

Only Watch

F.P. Journe participated in the Only Watch auction for the first time in 2015, submitting the Tourbillon Souverain Bleu - a tourbillon watch based on the Chronomètre Bleu, including a chrome blue dial and a tantalum case, the latter which is very rare for a tourbillon.[14] As with the standard Tourbillon Souverain, it features an in-house rose gold movement and remontoire d'egalite, as well as dead beat seconds.[14] The Tourbillon Souverain Bleu sold for {{Currency|550000|CHF}} at auction.[15]

For the 2017 edition of Only Watch, F.P. Journe donated a monopusher split-seconds chronograph in 44mm with a blue dial and featuring a completely new movement[16] that would not be used in any other F.P Journe watches.[17] The watch sold for {{Currency|1150000|CHF}} at auction, making it one of the most expensive independent wristwatches in history.[18][19] F.P. Journe later released a modified version of the movement in the "lineSport"-brand Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante series.[17]

Action Innocence

F.P. Journe has donated watches to auctions benefiting Swiss charity {{ill|Action Innocence|fr}}. In 2015, a special purple dial Tourbillon Souverain raised {{Currency|650000|CHF}} while a special purple dial Elegante raised {{Currency|55000|CHF}}.[20] In 2017, a special purple dial Chronométre Optimum sold for {{Currency|200000|CHF}}.[21]

Distribution

F.P. Journe watches are available through company-owned boutiques, official retail partnerships (branded as "ESPACE F.P. Journe"), and authorized dealers. The 10 company-owned boutiques are located in:

  • Tokyo, opened May 2003
  • Hong Kong, opened October 2006
  • Geneve, opened April 2007
  • Beijing, opened November 2009

  • Los Angeles (West Hollywood), opened July 2013

Patrimoine Service

In 2016, F.P. Journe launched Patrimoine Service, an official program that acquires out-of-production watches for interested collectors.[22] F.P. Journe purchases, authenticates, and services the watches at their Geneva headquarters, then resells the watches via their official boutiques.[22][23] A new guarantee card, box, and three-year warranty accompany all watches sold via the Patrimoine Service.[23] F.P. Journe is the first Swiss manufacture to offer such a service.[22]
