F.P. Journe Reveals Why He Paid More Than $6 Million For A Breguet Clock He Designed – To Showcase In His Upcoming Museum
Was that why FP Journe announced before the auction that they would refuse to service the clock ....
Haha, in my view another fantastic “invented” story
Whoever wants to believe it….

First Revolution does an article about how Denis and others at THA did all the work and then a followup interview where FPJ claims all the credit.
Between that and the letter about not servicing this pripr to auction this smells fishy on the FPJ side.
Good question.
Really hard to say... Anyone saying either way is not credible unless they were very involved in the project.
I was thinking of doing a post on this clock itself,
which is quite fascinating. Time will tell if I end up doing it or not.
Best, Emmanuel
If anyone could service it, I'm sure that FPJ could 😀
Especially considering the incredible and a lot more sophisticated clocks that he has serviced in the past.... in my humble opinion that email was a VERY specific and clever ploy to discourage other potential bidders 😎
