The Art of Time
Based in Delémont, Switzerland, L’Epée 1839 has specialized in designing and producing high end mechanical clocks for over 180 years. From design to manufacture, l’Epée is one of the few remaining clock makers to create their horological art entirely in-house.
Designed in collaboration with Kostas Metaxas, Requiem is a cast aluminum skull that displays time in the sockets of the eye. With an 8-day power reserve, Requiem must be rewound each week—offering an intimate moment with its key specifically placed at the base of the skull. The disc mechanism displays a «slow» jumping hour and sweeping minutes respectively.

La Tour is inspired by the minimalist architectural currents of the early 1920s. The timepiece's design is based on ideas from the Bauhaus and its artistic movement built around the creative principle that function dictates form. A succession of gear trains in La Tour dictates the various curves of the plates to form a single, uncluttered whole: the skeleton movement. The Swiss Made Caliber 1853 movement is made of 143 parts designed, fabricated and assembled by L’Epée, 4.25"h x 2.3"w x 1.9"d, 8 editions | $4,000

Drawing on its 180 year heritage, L'Epée 1839 has preserved its expert clockmaking traditions. A constant quest for innovative solutions and an unremitting desire to push back boundaries has enabled it to offer an ecclectic collection of clocks that are both contemporary and extraordinary.
From computer-assisted design to the final technical checks and adjustments, L'Epée's métiers and craftsmen contribute to the in-house creation of each timepiece. All L’Epée 1839 works bear the highly coveted “Swiss Made” label. They strive to maintain a continuously high level of excellence in order to meet the quality standards exacted by the renown maker’s clientele of collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
