F.P. Journe is a high-end watch ''manufacture'' of Switzerland named after the founder François-Paul Journe. (French watchmaker who was born in Marseille in 1959. 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 "() invented it and made it") denotes that the company builds the entirety of the watches. Journe often designs brand new movements, even inventing completely new systems, like the resonance chronometer. He was recently interviewed 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".〔(FP Journe Interview )〕 In 2015, for the first time, F.P.Journe has participated in the Only Watch auction and they did not disappoint by creating a tourbillon watch based on the Chronomètre Bleu. That watch is one of the few tourbillon wristwatches to be housed in a tantalum-case. This is not the first time that F.P. Journe has used tantalum, as it was used to case the Chronomètre Bleu Byblos Limited Edition. The Tourbillon Souverain features a reflective chrome blue dial and has an 18k pink-gold, in-house movement, which is fitted with a remontoire (a device to provide constant force to the escapement). == Distribution == All the F. P. Journe watches are available around the world through the boutiques or authorized retailers.
