In the 1960’s Alex Fossner and his son Peter left Czechoslovakia, when the
Russians invaded that country, to follow the American Dream. He opened Fossner
Timepieces on the upper eastside of New York in 1969. He soon had a large
following due to his fine quality workmanship and respected work ethic. Within a
few years his store was filled with many great timepieces and other horological
works of art. Alex worked in his store until Peter was ready to take over the
business. Peter met Jeff Morris at a Sotheby's watch auction in January, 1980,
and they have been collaborating ever since selling fine watches. They
incorporated in 1986 as J & P Timepieces.
The Company is now well known around the world, including at Sotheby's and
Christie's auction houses. Jeff and Peter serve as consultants to collectors,
museums and auction houses worldwide. Both of them are members of the American
IWJG and the European WTF. One or the other can always be found at any prominent
