F.P.Journe has renewed its support for the MAZE constellation of art fairs, partnering with the second edition of MAZE/Art St. Moritz, held 26 February to 1 March 2026 at the Hotel Reine Victoria. It follows the Manufacture’s presence at Art Gstaad a week earlier, a tidy two-stop itinerary for those who travel light but think in depth.
Set on the ground floor of the 1875 Belle Epoque hotel, the fair unfolded amid painted ceilings, stucco, chandeliers and original mirrors. About thirty galleries known for curatorial rigor took part, among them Bernier Eliades, Friedman Benda, Matteo Lampertico ML Fine Art, Mazzoleni, von Bartha, Waddington Custot, Mennour, Thomsen and Jean-David Cahn.
Visitors encountered twentieth-century works by Carla Accardi, Alighiero Boetti, Alberto Burri, Lucio Fontana and Marc Chagall, alongside design by Andrea Branzi, Ettore Sottsass and the Campana brothers. De Jonckheere presented a rare Winter Landscape with Skaters by Hendrick Avercamp, a cool reminder that precision and poetry are not enemies. St. Moritz, with its habit of cross-disciplinary exchange and taste for the avant-garde, proved an apt stage.
By aligning with MAZE, F.P.Journe lends weight to a platform that prefers intimacy to spectacle and prizes a transversal view of creation. For a watchmaker that builds beauty into tolerances you feel rather than see, the setting matters: rooms that respect detail, works chosen for intention, and a pace that lets the eye breathe. It is not about branding the walls. It is about keeping good company with makers who mean what they make.
