Sovereign Chronometer

Authenticity, Rareness and Talent are the values that symbolize the chronometric works of F.P.Journe. 

At the crossroad between Arts and Haute Horology, the independent F.P.Journe Manufacture is a world in itself, embodying excellence, know-how and innovation, in the respect of the haute horology tradition from which François-Paul Journe is the proud guardian. 

With a limited production of less than 900 mechanical timepieces per year, the sanctuary of the F.P.Journe Manufacture honours artisanal work. Signed with the label -Invenit et Fecit- (invented and made), each F.P.Journe exclusive movement guarantees an in-house calibre, entirely invented, constructed, and assembled in the Geneva workshops. To each watch its watchmaker that is the rule at F.P.Journe and that is why the production will always remain extremely limited.
