Since 2015, the Young Talent Competition serves to reveal the next generation of most talented young watchmakers, supporting them in their route to independence by identifying their achievements and putting them under the spotlight.
F.P. Journe organizes the Young Talent Competition with the support of The Hour Glass, luxury watch retailer in the Asia Pacific region.
The selection criteria are based on technical achievement, the search for complexity in terms of realisation; the quality of craftsmanship as well as their sense of design and aesthetics. Applicants must have independently designed and created a timepiece or a horological construction. The laureate receives a diploma and a CHF 20,000 grant from The Hour Glass and F.P. Journe, intended to help to purchase watchmaking tools or finance an horological project.
The jury of the Young Talent Competition 2023 is composed of key personalities from the international horological scene: Philippe Dufour, Andreas Strehler, Giulio Papi, Marc Jenni, Michael Tay, Elizabeth Doerr and François-Paul Journe.
This year, the prize was awarded to Alexandre Hazemann, a young student at the Centre de formation professionnelle neuchâtelois in Le Locle, for his AH.01 Signature project.
