The F.P. Journe -Invenit et Fecit- brand opened a new watch showroom in Tokyo's Omotesando district - Tokyo's equivalent of the Parisian St. Germain-des-Prés - a stone's throw away from the superb Nezu museum. The boutique is complete with lounge, bar and watchmaking library, where collectors and aficionados of fine watchmaking can assemble and discuss their shared passion, or acquire chronometers which are produced in very limited numbers. The boutique is near one of the most beautiful spiritual buildings by architect Mr. Tadao Ando, and is already a reference for initiates in the field of contemporary chronometry.
