Founded in 1839, Delémont-based Maison L’Epée has kept up with horological innovations whilst maintaining “traditional” watchmaking processes“We design a new movement for every single piece,” says CEO of L’Epée Arnaud Nicolas on how he conceptualises his design ideas. “Mixing mechanics and art” Arnaud often takes inspiration from unlikely sources including the automotive world of sport racing and classic cars.
L’Epée as you said is one of the oldest watchmaking brand in the watch industry that had never stopped. The manufacturing was never stopped but just because you are an old brand with a strong history that does not mean you cannot be innovative. Most people think that DNA is about the shape of hand and dials or case shape. For me DNA is much more than that. L’Epée has always been in the forefront of watchmaking.
Max and I have been friends for a long time and as I was looking at doing something new and unexpected for the 175 anniversary to implement within my new line, Max was looking also to do something unexpected. This was the perfect match. We were both looking into the same direction for the product and we both have the same philosophy in terms of what a partnership is and how we like to treat our customers.
We have many readers who are passionate about classic cars. Tell us more about the Time Fast II creation? Why placing the escapement as the brain of the driver, simply because it is the driver that give the precision of the car whereas it is not the owner that give the precision of the watch but the escapement. Then, next to the steering wheel on a dashboard there is usually a key to start the engine. On our car, turning the dashboard key starts the engine, triggering the pistons of the V8 to go up and down. The piston been located just below the time display.
