F.P.Journe Young Talent Competition
The F.P.Journe Young Talent Competition, established in 2015, celebrates its 10th anniversary by inviting talented individuals worldwide to submit their horological creations for evaluation by a jury of experts. Renowned watchmaker François-Paul Journe, who faced personal challenges in his youth, initiated the competition to give back to the industry that shaped his career, aiming to support emerging watchmakers in their quest for independence. The competition evaluates submissions based on originality, technical complexity, design, and craftsmanship, with winners receiving grants to aid their development. Past winners have showcased remarkable creations, employing both traditional techniques and innovative designs, thereby contributing to the preservation of watchmaking skills for future generations.
