Key Points from the Discussion
- Current F.P. Journe wait times for new watches can extend to 8-10 years, a significant change from previous years when many models were readily available.
- The F.P. Journe Geneva boutique, under the guidance of Mr. Tony Tankov, is known for its welcoming atmosphere and willingness to showcase rare pieces to visitors, even amidst long waitlists.
- The scarcity of F.P. Journe timepieces is attributed to the brand's low production volume, manufacturing fewer than 1,000 pieces annually.
- The current market for F.P. Journe contrasts sharply with 2015-2016, when models like the Chronomètre Bleu (CB) were offered on the spot, a situation many collectors now regret not capitalizing on.
- The challenge of availability extends beyond F.P. Journe, with many major luxury watch brands struggling to have display pieces available for clients to view or try on in boutiques.
