Since 1839, L'Epée has elevated the clock into kinetic sculpture, Switzerland's singular manufacture devoted wholly to high horological clockmaking.
Founded by Auguste L'Epée.
By 1889 the house was producing 200,000 platform escapements a year for makers of alarm clocks and carriage clocks.
In 1976 L'Epée wall clocks were fitted aboard Concorde, the only clocks ever installed in civil supersonic aircraft.
The Starfleet Machine, created with MB&F for the 175th anniversary in 2014, opened a celebrated partnership of sculptural clocks.
Its Time Fast II Chrome won the mechanical clock category at the 2023 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève.
A table clock builds itself and its platform escapement begins to beat.
New stories from L'Epée 1839 arrive here as we publish them, straight from the house.
Every timepiece is best discovered in person: on the wrist, in the hand, and in the company of those who made it.
Every house in this collection has its own world on Simply Luxury.
The L'Epée 1839 name belongs to its owners. Stories on Simply Luxury are drawn from the house's own published content. Illustrations by Simply Luxury.
