F.P Journe, the greatest independent watchmaker of all time?

Francois Paul Journe is a man of high prestige in the watch community. These watches are some of the most valued pieces in the entire world, and are simply beautiful. Now F.P. Journe the brand is not yet an established brand. As it has been said by Hodinkee many a time, "You have to be really in it to know F.P. Journe".

The Watches 

Now there is so much to say about the beauty of the watches that Journe produces, and I dont have the capacity to explain it. These watches look interesting, different, innovative. These watches have that characteristic that can reignite ones passion about watches, and watchmaking.  

 

The Market

Independent watches, in some peoples opinion are a bit of a bubble. Some people think that independent brands will simply die out because an investment in an F.P Journe, is not going to hold the same value as an investment in Patek Phillippe. However, it seems as though people have, now, a particular craving for haute horology, something that F.P. Journe not only offers, but goes above and beyond with.
