it is a great boutique. And a great team as has been said. It was nice sitting spending a couple of hours chatting with Edward. 


I remember when it was the Holland and Holland shop. A nice bit of circularity that it is now FPJ in London. Here's to 10 years from now and their centigraphe edition!

London, December 15, 2023 - Mayfair, a historic district close to some of London's finest parks, is renowned for its Georgian-style homes, refinement and charm. It is also a prime destination for art galleries, antique shops and other exclusive and presti...

London has been missing in the puzzle of boutiques. Im very happy to see this project become a reality in the former Holland & Holland premises. The London team is a knowlegable and professional group of young gentlemen who also happen to be great wat...

Interesting

For this brand to invest so much in a location when their watches have such high demand and wait lists, it doesn't seem necessary. Maybe a way to have legitimacy ? I imagine anyone who walks in there would not have anything to leave with (as far as a watc... 

Yes, those days are gone when you could walk in and then leave with a watch…

I think what is very important to FPJ is to get to know their customers before they are allocated a watch. They are tired with flippers and working vey hard behind the scenes to filter those out. They are not Happy that their watches becoming a trading as... 

Once FPJ (and DuoButtons) become "ETF" (thanks to some market makers)

They need a luxurious and rarity facade to convince rich clients to join the rush and spend the inflated prices on secondary and auction market. The foundation of great horology is just the trigger....

To see the watches in the metal and learn more about the brand

I went to the old AD a few times. They tried to sell me expensive jewellery but I never even got to see a Journe watch except on an ipad on the website. Shawn, Jimi and Edward made time for me, showed me pieces, told me things I didn't know about the coll... 

I shall drop by

No more 10 Years Centigraphe

 
 By: JohnJohn : December 28th, 2023-07:32
there will be no more limited editions (including 10-year Centigraphe) of any FPJ after Tokyo limited 2024. That's what I heard.

A very professional team and location is second to none ..

As for knowing clients and flippers ..I think market has corrected and flippers have gone down the rat hole 🕳️ and hope all would who intend to make a quick buck and deprive the passionate user of the allocation. It would be interesting to see which direc...

I think it’s the opposite. The high end will be safe, your Rexhepis, vintage pateks, complicated Journes. I feel the more “generic” watches will continue to suffer as more and more sellers put them up for sale.

Who are the people next to Journe?

To the left of Francois-Paul

It’s the Director of the London Boutique, Shawn Mehta. Next to him it’s the CEO of Montres Journe Amelie Lefevere.
