To inaugurate the first week of the 2009 watch salons, François-Paul Journe will open the exhibition room of his Manufacture to the public, the members of the International Press and the watch visitors from the entire world, to present:

“Chefs d’Oeuvre de l’Horlogerie Française ”, a historic collection of 12 unique clocks made by the great French Masters of the 18th and 19th centuries: Lépine, Detouche, Bouchet and Robin. Among these outstanding clocks, some were made for major figures of French history, such as Louis XVI King of France and Empress Josephine de Beauharnais. They bear witness to the importance of the horological works of the period, and contribute to the renewed appreciation of the horology of France, birthplace of François-Paul Journe.



The F.P.Journe Manufacture will become the privileged guardian of these splendid examples of French patrimony for the duration of this unique exhibition from the private collection of Italian collector Ausano Musa :

Exhibition from Monday 19 January to 6 February 2009 - Monday to Friday from 9h00 to 18h00
