Master Watchmaker and builder, François-Paul Journe explores the measurement of time like a true artist with a unique sense of innovation. The F.P.Journe Manufacture he founded in 1999 represents a world where innovation and craftsmanship dialogue with heritage. The production has been vertically integrated to manufacture almost all components. F.P.Journe produces around 1,000 precision mechanical chronometers per year, with a team of watchmakers and artisans who carry out all assembly steps from start to finish, including the delicate stages of adjustment. A first in the watchmaking world and a specific feature of the brand, the movements are made of 18K rose Gold, entirely conceived and manufactured in-house.

François-Paul Journe’s expertise and historical knowledge enable him to tackle the most daring horological challenges, pursuing his research with one goal: to make each of his mechanical timepieces as precise as possible.
F.P.Journe offers several collections: the precision chronometers of the Classique Collection, the lineSport Collection with a contemporary sporty character, and the élégante by F.P.Journe Collection, with its revolutionary concept offering autonomy of 8 to 10 years in daily use. These creations have earned F.P.Journe numerous international distinctions — 7 awards at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, including 3 “Aiguille d’Or.” To present its watches in a setting that reflects its image, the brand has opened a network of 12 proprietary Boutiques around the world. Beyond watchmaking, F.P.Journe is deeply committed to supporting art and culture and has extended its universe with the opening of “F.P.Journe Le Restaurant” in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Dominique Gauthier, uniting Haute Horlogerie and Haute Gastronomy.
François-Paul Journe is a visionary watchmaker and non-conformist designer who has shaped the standards of contemporary independent watchmaking. Through his creations, he pays homage to history while forging new paths for the future, placing a central emphasis on the transmission of knowledge within his Manufacture. His watches, more than mere timekeeping instruments, are works of art that bear witness to his quest.
