My First Grail Watch: Francois-Paul Journe
Welcome back to an original watches-dealer feature, "My First Grail Watch." In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after. ?Today, we're talking with Francois-Paul Journe, who heads up his eponymous brand, F.P. Journe. ?Coincidentally, he's just celebrated 30 years with the company, so our interview could not have occurred at a better time.watches-dealer (ABTW): Who are you, and what is your relationship to the watch industry?Francois-Paul Journe (FPJ): I consider myself as a mechanical engineer and watch constructor above all - of course, I am a watchmaker as well. It is more than a passion, it is my life! I believe I am one of the only watchmakers to continue producing watches in the same manner and with the same respect as it used to be done when horology was a science.There are fundamental values in high horology that pertain from the last 250 years that needs to be respected.

Sealed 5167A-001 for USD 21.5k
I have to decide in the next 48 hours if I should get a sealed 5167A-001 which would have my name on the certificate for USD 20k + USD 1.5k for insured shipping & customs duties.Now, I know this model retails for about USD 19k in the US and continental Europe (16k if you remove the VAT in the latter), but it's never available.I'm very tempted and would like to have some opinions from Aquanaut aficionados.Thanks!
