F.P. Journe (legally Montres Journe SA) is a Swiss luxury watch manufacture founded in 1999 by François-Paul Journe. The brand is the only three-time winner of the Aiguille d'Or grand prize from the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève. The company's motto 'Invenit et Fecit' (Latin: 'He invented it and made it') certifies that all movements are designed and built entirely in-house. F.P. Journe is the only major watchmaker still based in central Geneva, producing approximately 800-1000 watches per year with complete vertical integration including their own casemaker (Les Boîtiers de Genève) and dialmaker (Les Cadraniers de Genève).
