F.P. Journe

I had the opportunity to attend last week an event organized by the FP Journe boutique of Paris in partnership with the French magazine dedicated to Auto Racing "Grand Prix". It may be surprising but there is a close link between FP Journe and the world o...

Like another member has already mentioned, its great to be able to see who the guests are. :) I have admired FPJ pieces for a number of years, and been a very proud owner. Personally, I am not a fan of the new "Modern" Journe timepieces and hope that he w...
