A watchmaker who tells you what he did not make
F.P. Journe’s official 2022 Young Talent Competition results identify Miśnik as a winner for a marine-themed pocket watch with tourbillon and pivoted-detent escapement. The entrant’s account describes using traditional lathe and milling work rather than CNC for most of the watch.
Miśnik explicitly lists purchased chain, glass, eighteen rubies, balance spring, two mainsprings and twenty-eight of forty screws; the signature engraving was assigned to a professional engraver. 21
Why this young maker chose a pocket watch
His profiles record a 2018 watchmaking qualification and commencement of his own watch project in September 2019; these dates do not establish a company incorporation. The competition description links the pocket-watch format to the shock sensitivity of a detent arrangement, rather than presenting it as a general-purpose mass-market wristwatch. 12
