L'Epee Mechanical Clock

L’Epee Mechanical Clock

A major hit at the Baselworld Watch Fair this week was a new, mechanical clock from L’Epée, the Swiss based clock manufacturer.

La Tour is a clock in a completely new vein, with a power reserve of eight days. The clean, minimalist lines of its vertical structure are a canvas for beautiful “Côtes de Genève” motifs on the skeleton plates. The plates are finished in palladium or satin-finished gold.
Each clock is inscribed with an individual number which is recorded along with full details of the clock.
This mechanical sculpture is driven by the 1853 calibre with 18 jewels.
L’Epée was founded by  Auguste l’Epée in 1839. It became the “Manufacture l’Epée” (manufacture carrying connotations of manual craftsmanship). The company today is owned by Swiza SA Manufacture.
