Journe Wins Top Watch Prize, Again!
The luxury watch business awarded its top 2006 awards in November at the garnd Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve ceremonies in Geneva. The competition is open to all watch brands and companies. Some 1500 guests attended the gala event at the Grand Theatre.
The top prize, the Prix de l'Aiguille d'Or (the Golden Hand award), again went to Geneva watchmaker Francois- Paul Journe for his Grande Petite Sonnerie Souveraine timepiece (with quarter, hour, and minute repeater). The timepiece caps six years' developement, and its complex but durable mechanism has 10 patents.
