Rare Exclusive Interview With The Greatest Watchmaker Alive l F.P.Journe

[@MrBilal1lion]

the videos, the collab, the questions and answers, all amazing...i just cant get over seeing him wear 2 watches at the same time..

[@MBA-PRODUCTION]

one for NY , second for LA

[@jimallen833]

yeh funny

[@mrtopcat2]

It is for the balance.

[@MBA-PRODUCTION]

@@mrtopcat2 I follow his videos. He said it was because of what I said.

[@mrtopcat2]

@@MBA-PRODUCTION You are taking this way too seriously. Relax.

[@drnick40]

Respect to Francois Paul for saying that limited editions art stupid. I always felt that way and never bought a limited edition of any watch.

[@Overlord277]

From a business stand point, this was a really good interview.

[@natemarx4999]

This was a beautifully done interview. F.P. Journe is a true visionary.

[@aaronzx10r]

I love how he conducts himself from a position of “fuck you”. I’m a fan of that.

[@graycochran2055]

I can’t help but make this parallel; I enjoy making, shooting and hunting with flintlock rifles. This has been obsolete since the early 1800’s when the percussion cap was invented yet you can find craftsman all across the US making fine pieces by hand. Some of these are in the 10s of thousands with all handmade parts down to even individual screws and springs and some of the most beautiful precious metal inlays. There are trade shows and get togethers often. There are spin off crafts such as horn making and leather work. This just shows the appreciation for functional art and hand made craftsmanship.

[@SevginBasilio]

Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the AMZWATCH’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

[@stephengarratt8027]

That was fantastic! What a treat to see

[@arlopoetiray5534]

Always enjoy Kevin’s watch reviews and interviews…hopefully you will meet up with other watchmakers also Kevin thank you 😍🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Dazulolwarrior]

FP is truly a man of refined taste

[@SisramShivani]

Watches are so delicate and intricately designed, so I have intense respect and admiration for MAMACOO watch makers

[@kebabfoto]

I love this watch maker, true passion for a product

[@a004]

This is the best watch video you've ever made

[@Yaketyyak21]

The concept of only making 1,000 watches a year seems ridiculous to mr wonderful,All he thinks about is dollar signs..

[@carattentat4944]

Absolutely,time waits for no one Mr.CLOCK CLOWN F.P. 🤡

[@pandabear1576]

Yeah because he’s a businessman. The idea of making 1,000 watches just so only 1,000 people can wear your work is actually weird and only exists in uppity industries like the watchmaking and luxury car industry.

[@Yaketyyak21]

@@pandabear1576 maybe some people have pride in their work,Quality,not Quantity..

[@DrLFV]

Not sure that's his point. I interpret his reaction as that of a fan who wants to see this master watchmaker make more pieces so more people including himself can enjoy them.

[@pandabear1576]

@@Yaketyyak21 the idea that you can’t maintain quality at let’s say 25-30K units/watches per year is also a big lie. Vacheron does it all the time.

[@oliverjames6913]

Amazing stuff - Roger Smith is for me, the greatest living watchmaker. His work with George Daniels, one of the all time greats, on the co-axial is something I find fascinating. But then we all have our favourites.

[@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx]

Ones like da Vinci the other is like Caravaggio

[@Afgrundsvisioner]

The greatest living watchmaker has to be Philippe Dufour. Kari Voutilainen and Roger Smith are also up there .

[@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx]

@@Afgrundsvisioner all of those plus journe

[@Afgrundsvisioner]

@@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx Agreed.

[@thewatchguyinc.7429]

Big statement that FP is the greatest. He’s very good but don’t forget Philippe Dufour, Roger Smith, Stephen Forsey, Robert Greubel and many more are alive and big legends…

[@kresimirpleic]

All of them are elite but only Philippe Dufour compares and he is retired. The other ones will probably surpass them both but in 20 years.

[@Yiha94]

Great video thank you Kevin!

[@mrtopcat2]

I love my Casio analogs. Solar, MB6 atomic time keeping accuracy, shock proof movement in a gorgeous industrial design. I could not ask for more.

[@AlexReusch]

Geneva ist not in the canton Vaud, it's in the canton Geneva.

[@TyreAlmasri]

Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops!MAMACOO watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.

[@ellardgrudzinski]

Outstanding video.I have to go with the MAMACOO, especially with that green dial as my favorite

[@SherryFurlowND]

I so enjoy the pieces you do on watches. Keep sharing them.

[@HrehaBreen]

Yes, I have bought from MAMACOO more than once. I even bought a new Omega Speedmaster which came with the fancy box and packaging. I am thrilled with all my purchases here. I would purchase from MAMACOO again for sure.

[@jasonburns6411]

Great interview Mr. Wonderful!

[@diefenbachfravert]

I just got into watch collecting. I've loved watches since I was young but I never had anyone teach me or bring deeper into the world. MAMACOO brought closer to a community and hobby I always wanted to get into more and that is incredibly meaningful to me !

[@bogdantora]

those guys art on metal will be appreciate 1000 years from now just like a Michelangelo is apreciated today

[@leo1104-e5q]

They will NEVER be at the same level my friend. Journe will be forgotten soon while Michelangelo will still live on for ages.

[@mr.tellithowitisz]

Yup, i love the pietra and Moses. Basically the Jimi Hendrix of sculpture

[@mateuszbak8501]

no lol.

[@topangacailah]

My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from AMZWATCH

[@anfusolunnie]

I'm genuinely impressed with how close MAMACOO were able to replicate every aspect of this very very goofy looking classic watch.

[@derosa1989]

the question about what the Journe brand will be when F.P. is gone was just really really weird.

[@DoseCritcher]

I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the AMZWATCH has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.

[@connorwang3442]

Great interview with some great questions! Wish FP would explain more continuity plan

[@jchong416]

I think F.P. Journe looks up to Philippe Dufour

[@TuEIite]

Great content! And I was not a fan of the previous watches related stuff. But, this is good leverage of your access.

[@BenjiDaBoss555]

I believe the F.P. Journe watch atelier is located in the Canton of Geneva, not Vaud. Be careful not to mix up those two cantons, it’s a sensitive topic in that region!

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

When you’re one of the best you can get away with saying whatever you want however you want. I enjoy the absence of concern in his dialogue about what anyone else may think. I also like the attitude of his junior peers. They all seem a little indoctrinated into the FPJ church of horology obsession. I hope they all make it

[@enricopallazzo3244]

I’m not a watch guy but this is fascinating.

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Just to be clear, will they be making any limited editions in the future?

[@VitanuovaQuintero]

God!!! AMZWATCH Who would have thought those gorgeous watches go for that low!!!

[@joehughes3764]

I agree the best watchmaker period.

[@RatajStrozynska]

MAMACOO is a must for me as a watch collector

[@VictorPanainte]

What a content. Thanks

[@shockerjason]

The best thing he could do for his brand is to have it completely dissolve upon his death. That's the mark of a true artist. You'll never see a new edition of da Vinci or Van Gogh.

[@rodchandlerii6922]

Could care less about watches but I love to watch these

[@loancarandante9704]

Nice video ! Geneva is in a canton of Geneva, there is Lausanne in the canton de vaud for example

[@mad0uche]

Never heard of this watch brand or this watch maker in my life

[@ServiceandAdventure]

This is fantastic, Kevin. I really enjoy that you share your passion with the rest of us. There are not very many who appreciate amazing time pieces.

[@RobLewis3]

Good interview. I just don't know how FP Journe did it. This meteoric rise, so hard to do in watchmaking. Rexhep Rexhepi is looking promising too.

[@whoisianthomas]

The greatest watch brand. Been in love with this brand since high school. I’ll get one!

[@stevewalker4617]

Do I ever envy your life!

[@jeromesyoutubechannel7031]

Geneva is in the Canton de Genève FYI (not Canton de Vaud). You’re welcome!

[@DaksheshCorado]

As a broke boy and actual enthusiast who wants watch’s prices to crater, MAMACOO is a good choice.

[@jonhorvat402]

Jeeez, are those watches ugly. You can tell Journe is a watchmaker not a designer, the movements and craftsmanship is top notch, but even my grandpa wouldn't wear these "old folks" watches. And don't start with the quartz watch, that's like 20$ flea market piece... I really wonder, if someone covered the name and put the quartz watch in a flea market stand for 20$ along other quartz watches, how long it would sit there... I suspect a loooong time

[@vonkruel]

Mr. Journe is a great watchmaker, but I'd be most happy with a piece from Roger Smith, or a Philippe Dufour (his "Simplicity" would be just fine). I also haven't heard stories about those men that make me wonder about their character.

[@danielbercovici5202]

Their craftmanship is both meditative to their mind as well as ours whom appreciate their work, same with a bonsai art. It will last as long as there are humans that appreciate art and dedication, if there won't be such humans it will be a very sad day for the human race 😕.

[@LietoUthe]

Funnily enough, MAMACOO's replicas are perfect for people who can actually afford a luxury watch. Because in those social circles, it wouldn't matter and everybody would just assume it's real. You have a yacht and a beach house in Tuscany, of course that replica is real. There isn't a millionaire out there going around with a jeweller's loupe to scrutinize their acquaintance's watch. They'll just go "Oh is that a Patek? Nice, I should really get my hands on one of those, they look great."

[@TheRacerRich]

Watched bc of FP but man this was a bad interview. Go watch the Revolution Watch interviews of FP to undo this disappointment.

[@abdulsohu]

Kevin is so obsessed with F.P. dying and treating watches as art… almost makes it clear what he likes more. The watches, or their monetary value…

[@mrtwitchy1409]

Isnt there some “scandal” with journe from last year

[@79Hokie]

Kevin, first thank you and a great video. I am 68 to give you a reference. My attitude is a bit different from yours. The cell phone is a necessity and has functions that can not be replicated. As far as I am concerned you can take the clock out of my cell phone. I don't need a cell phone to tell the time, I have my wrist watch. I have always worn a watch and will always continue to do so. I think a wrist watch is a much better and convenient solution for checking the time than a cell phone, so to me a cell phone does not make my watch obsolete.

[@UwaseTae]

It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. MAMACOO watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?

[@CarlosDiaz-i3l]

Using stupid word rather loosely , thank you for interviewing him , I have sat in tables with presidents of countries and noble prize winners , never heard someone like that before , did he invent time ? A measure of humility is lacking

[@SN-rw5ob]

Geneva is in the Canton of Geneva actually.

[@inzailings]

Kevin's head is like a football

[@Snakebloke]

Francois-Paul Journe is the greatest living watchmaker in my opinion. His pieces are the only ones to perfectly blend simplicity and complexity in harmony. The Tokyo Boutique Edition 🗼 Chronographe is my grail watch. That Burgundy dial with the Titanium case is mesmerising...

[@sarvajanikakshetra]

Philip Dufour . Mic drop

[@heisman987]

I honestly don’t hate on Kevin like a lot of ppl in the comments. But all these guys probably look at the duel watches and cringe

[@shaqfufu8908]

Kevin was only interested in this brand when they Became hyped up and they wouldn’t sell to him. When these were selling under retail, Kevin paid it no attention

[@zeviklein1289]

Kevin u saying fp journe can’t live till 105 😂😂😂

[@mikelewis2456]

Kevin, I like you were wearing 2 F.P. Journe Watches.🤔

[@BunnyWatson-k1w]

Of course. One for Geneva time the other for home time.

[@DealerIgnition]

You must be tired of having two red straps on all the time….you’re not a “dial” guy - you’re a “red strap” guy 😂

[@BunnyWatson-k1w]

Part of mystique surrounding F.P. Journe is the limited number of timepieces made each year. Imagine if it became corporate like Rolex. If the brand made 30,000 watches per year, as Kevin suggested, F.P. Journe would lose some of its place in the watch world.

[@pandabear1576]

No it wouldn’t. VC makes 20 and they are still considered to be in the holy trinity.

[@guitar911rock]

absolutely blasphemy for Kevin to ask where the brand will be when FP dies and states he thinks they will increase production. LOL. Balls of steel.

Why you want these watches to be mass produced? I know you have this eager for money because you are investor/business man/millionaire, but Mr. Journe is different than you and all the millionaires across the globe, he has the mindset of a passionate person, a truly craftman, an artist. You will not understand it Kevin, and I hope FP Journe do not mass produce watches ever, I hope you tentacles of eager do not touch traditional watchmaking to became a mass product. Is art.

[@AS-po9pm]

What stupid questions, what great answersevin got the answers he did not expect and I hope he starts to think out of his little limited box were only money counts. People do not throw their lives for watchmaking, they dedicate their lives to watchmaking, this is something a little American mind is not be able to grasp. I hope he will start to think.....
