L'Épée 1839

Dedicated to making high-end clocks, L'Epée has been a prominent Manufacture for over 180 years. Founded in 1839 by Auguste L’Epée in France’s Besançon region, the company originally focused on producing music boxes and watch components. The brand was synonymous at the time with entirely hand-made pieces.

OVERVIEW

Today, L'Epée 1839 is the only manufacture in Switzerland to specialize in the production of high-end clocks.

Throughout its history, L’Epée 1839 has developed an exceptional table clock collection, encompassing a range of sophisticated classic carriage clocks, contemporary design clocks and avant-garde horological intended to shock, evoke and inspire people, not to toe the line.
The brand has collaborated on many projects with MB&F, bringing to life the most spectacular and peculiar pieces.
