So, businessman, name on a product (mechanical, but not electronics), died 1981 to 2009, maybe French, Spanish or Italian. I’m not comin’ up with a car-related name offhand. (Unless, of course, it’s Francoise du Jeep 🤪). Time to think… ---

Hmm… non-electronic mechanical product. Cars? Watches? Kitchen appliances? Of course, we don’t know for certain that the J last name is part of the company name. It could be just his first name… Also, not known only for business, also known for other things? An athlete who started a business? A fashion designer who also does watches? Time to ponder… ---
