How Much is Your F.P. Journe Watch Worth?
4 factors contribute to how much you will receive for your F.P. Journe watch. These aspects are:
Rarity – Since a limited number of F.P. Journe watches are manufactured every year, this leads to a high demand for the amount of available pieces. If you have one of these watches in your possession or if you own a rare model or a timepiece that's part of a limited edition, you can expect to receive premium offers.
Condition – Ensure your timepiece is functioning smoothly and accurately. The interior and exterior appearance of your watch also contributes to its value.
Movement – The internal and external components of your watch need to work perfectly, or the resale value of your watch could be negatively affected.
Maintenance – You need to ensure your watch is serviced every four years. There are ten stages during the service. One of the steps includes updating, repairing, and replacing any worn-out components. The components are then washed, and your timepiece is then carefully assembled. The next step comprises lubrification before moving on to the setting stage. After a few additional steps, the final inspection is done at the end. The information about your last service is essential as buyers may ask about the date and location of your previous service.
How To Get The Best Price For Your F.P. Journe Watches
Watches that are in immaculate condition tend to receive a higher value. These 4 tips can help you take care of your F.P. Journe watch:
Take good care of it – Be mindful of strong magnetic fields as these can create magnetization of the components. This is important to remember, especially when your watch is near objects like your mobile phone, refrigerator, computer, or other electromagnetic appliances. You are also advised to avoid exposing your watch to high-temperature variations as this could impact the characteristics of some metals and in turn, could affect how accurately the watch functions.
Service it frequently – Your F.P. Journe watch will require a complete overhaul every 4 years. This is done to keep the precision of your watch.
Keep Your Box & Papers – We highly recommend selling your F.P. Journe watch with its original documents and packaging—the original papers and packaging help increase your watch's value. You should include the manuals, warranty cards, and companion booklets.
Should I Service my F.P. Journe Watch before Selling it?
No, you should not. Maintaining the service schedule of your F.P. Journe watch is an essential part of taking care of your timepiece, but we don't recommend servicing your watch just before you sell it. The buyer of your watch should be able to carry out the service as they wish. The new owner can decide if they would like to maintain the watch in its current form or opt for a complete overhaul.
At Exquisite Timepieces, we perform a complete physical evaluation of your watch before providing quotes. If we notice any severe damage on the watch, we will notify you and advise you to allow our team of expert watchmakers to service your F.P. Journe watch.
About F.P. Journe Watches
Working at his uncle's vintage watch restoration shop in Paris after leaving school at 14 opened a world of watchmaking possibilities for François-Paul Journe. From completing simple tasks to undertaking more significant projects, Journe quickly became fascinated with tourbillons and developed a deep interest in 18th and 19th-century timekeeping science.
Due to a lack of funds, he could not buy a Tourbillon watch, so he decided to make one on his own. This sparked the beginning of his successful journey, and today, this Swiss-French manufacturer is known for creating some of the world's most exclusive and rarest watches.
Journe, who obtained his diploma in horology in 1976, was determined to create his first watch. Using a copy of The Art of Breguet by George Daniels and some tutoring from his uncle, Journe devoted all of his free time to this project, which he completed after five years in January 1983 at the age of 25.
He crafted every component, including the gold and silver case; this watch is still part of his collection today. Journe constructed a working movement from scratch and incorporated a tourbillon with twin barrels and a détente escapement, which was quite an impressive accomplishment. His brand was successfully founded in 1999.
Over the years, Journe has created six exquisite collections: Classique, Linesport, Elégante, Boutique, Black Label, and the Joaillerie collection. Each timepiece within these collections has been produced with an impressive artistic flair and impeccable craftsmanship.
Today, the watches created by F.P. Journe are described as the epitome of luxury craftsmanship and quality. These timepieces, which are said to increase in their market value, are highly sought after as fewer than 1000 watches are made annually.
Fulfilling its brand motto, Invenit et Fecit (Latin for "[He] invented it and made it"), the company continues to design and manufacture 95 percent of the components required for its timepieces. Journe's movement designs are unique and he is also known for inventing completely new systems, one of which is the resonance chronometer.
About the materials used to manufacture these exquisite watches, F.P. Journe uses gold in their designs, movement, dial, and cases. Several of their cases include precious materials, such as gold or platinum. In recent years, titanium and aluminum have been used as case materials.
With his focus on complex precision chronometers, Journe continues producing meticulously crafted timepieces. He remains the only Swiss watchmaker still based in central Geneva, where his company headquarters are located, along with manufacturing facilities and an exhibition space.
