I'm not sure about the old school, new school distinction - but having owned a few Journes I don't find its association with the big time names to be appropriate. Journe has extraordinary talent and a keen eye for design, but the ownership experience of his watches does not live up to its promise. After all, what's the point of a watch if it fails to fulfill its primary function as a reliable timekeeper?
Dufour, on the other hand, is a master who inexplicably somehow falls under the radar.
In order:
Old School Big Three: PP, VC, AP
New School Big Three: Philippe Dufour, F.P. Journe, ALS
