A short documentary on F.P.Journe

Just like to share with everyone the link to a latest documentary of F.P.Journe the great watchmaker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ciWgA1QiMk

 

It was my privilege to have the opportunity to participate in the preparation, shooting and post production of this documentary. The film was directed and produced by J. Wang, a fellow collector and big fan of Journe. Mr. Wang is the Editor-in-chief of Time and Art, and Jetmaster, two premier Chinese magazines on watches and luxury lifestyle. The project started in the week of SIHH this year, and the actual shooting was during the week right before Baselworld in March. Although in the end the film is only 35 minutes long, it took almost 5 months to go through multiple iterations of meticulous editing. Finally, here it is, and hope you enjoy it.

 

Here are a few screenshot from the film:














Cheers,

Thanks Alex for your compliments. As for the Geneva water fountain, it actually has a regular schedule each day. But due to weather change or other reasons, the fountain may go off at any time, really unexpected. IIRC, It took the crew three days to keep ...
