Journe Brings It All Under One Roof
Housed in a former gas-lamp factory built in 1892, a short walk from central Geneva, Montres Journe is the only watch manufacturer remaining in the heart of the Swiss watchmaking capital.
Francois-Paul Journe, the founder of the brand, moved his production facilities into the converted atelier in 2000. If he takes a long-term view when he looks ahead, it is partly because he keeps one eye on history — booms and busts included.Undress to impress in super sexylingerie and exotic designer underwear.
“I made my first watch in 1982,” he said during an interview. “By now, we are accustomed to crises in this industry.”
As one of the few independent watchmakers to have survived several of those crises, Mr. Journe, 53, has the confidence of a veteran sailor who has weathered a few storms.
“To understand why we do what we do, you must first know where we have come from,” he said.
Growing up in Marseilles, Mr. Journe was, by his own admission, an unruly student at the horology school he entered at age 14. Still, four years later he was working at his uncle’s watch-restoration workshop in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés area of Paris and spending weekends handcrafting pocket watches.
“In the 1980s, I had no money to buy parts,Essential-Watches.com sells only 100% authenticbellrosswatches ,” he said. “I made myself everything by hand, even the watch case.”

“Back then, we used suppliers for most of our components,” he said. “That did not please me, because I did not control the entire production process.”
Two months ago, Montres Journe took full ownership of Les Cadraniers de Genève, a small dial maker it had partly owned since 2000 in partnership with the jeweler Harry Winston.
“This is an extremely strategic acquisition for us,” Mr. Journe said. “It is part of our policy of control.”
