F . P . JOURNE OPENS N . Y BOUTIQUE IN SOHO
Independent watchmaking pioneer F . P . Journe has moved his New York boutique from Manhattan ’ s Upper East Side to 53 Mercer Street in SoHo .
The new space showcases Journe ’ s watches in sleek display cases amid small lounges , a bar and a library filled with books on watchmaking .
At the center of the space is a large chandelier created by Mexican-Brazilian artist Carolina Fontoura Alzaga , similar to those in Journe ’ s boutiques in Los Angeles and Miami . Upstairs , the new store offers a kitchen , a wine cellar and a large room where the watchmaker plans to host dinners and receptions . The space ’ s architects were careful to retain some of the building ’ s original red brick walls in order to recall the industrial history of the SoHo district .
