F.P. Journe is a high-end watchmaker of Switzerland.
The motto of the brand, Invenit et Fecit (Latin for "Invented and made") 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"[1].
