WatchBox Stages F.P. Journe and De Bethune Retrospective Exhibition

A retrospective show dedicated to two top-tier independent brands, the Two Decades of F.P. Journe & De Bethune – A Retrospective Collection is a world-touring exhibition staged by pre-owned watch dealer WatchBox. 

Kicking off last fall in Switzerland, the show now arrives in Asia, landing at Singapore, Shanghai and Hong Kong, followed by Dubai, before heading to America for its last leg.

According to WatchBox, the exhibition is a celebration of the wonderful innovations in contemporary watchmaking, while serving an educational purpose by showcasing the past two decades of the F.P. Journe and De Bethune, practically covering everything since the founding of the two brands. Naturally, private appointments, forums, and educational talks are an important part of the show.

In fact, renowned watch experts Tim Mosso and Jack Forster will be present, as will brand’s representatives such as De Bethune’s chairman Pierre Jacques and International Head of Sales Jorg Hysek.

Of course, the highlight of the show is the over 100 pieces of F.P. Journe and De Bethune watches that are collectively worth over USD 25 million, once again proving the dealer’s gigantic inventories of independent watches. Rare limited editions, such as the hand-engraved Tourbillon Souverain Régence Circulaire, will define the exhibition, and good news for hard-core collectors: the watches displayed can be taken home.

As the dealer is expanding its international retail network – it has at least a dozen stores planned around the world – all of the exhibitions in Asia and Middle East will take place at its local outposts. See below for details.
