  • The oldest watchmakers have been around for centuries. They’ve contributed to the very foundation of what watchmaking is today, without which the industry would not exist in the way it does. Geneva-based watchmaker F. P. Journe, however, has achieved none of those things. It’s a brand that’s only a few decades old, barely out of its teens, that did not exist through the periods of evolution that shifted clocks to pocket watches to wristwatches. So, how has it fixed a hundred-year-old problem that no-one else could?

    F.P. Journe is one of those cases where "if it ain't broke don't fix it" meets a man that's like "I'mma try and fix it anyway". That among his charity, motivation to be involved in everything he does, and the way the Journe boutique's treat their employee's and customers all like family is why I will always love F.P. Journe.

      What "heritage" does is establish a baseline of expectations, which is occasionally useful for consumers.
      When the watch speaks for itself, and exceeds any possible expectation, heritage is superfluous.

    • @JLchevz
      @JLchevz 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    • @0brand0brand34
      @0brand0brand34 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I understand your point but can’t say I agree. With heritage comes expectation as well as ‘fit’ in terms of what that brand and its heritage stands for. It means that where a brand with heritage does something different, it is forgiven if not quite the best. Like how BMWs heritage centres around compact sports saloons, but people will buy the 7 series and forgive it for not being the best limo all round (the S-Class). Lexus tried to muscle in and scientifically did all the limo things - quietness, comfyness, etc - better than both 7 and S-Class but it’s lack of heritage was its downfall.
