L’Epée 1839 has been a prominent clockmaking house for 185 years. Today, it is the only manufacture in Switzerland to specialize in the production of high-end clocks. Founded in 1839 by Auguste L’Epée, the company originally focused on producing music boxes and watch components. Even at this early stage, the brand was synonymous with entirely hand-made pieces. 

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. 

Massena LAB's partnership with L'Epée 1839 began in 2020, when Massena LAB collaborated with MB&F and L'Epée 1839 to create the T-Rex Bronze, a limited-edition desk clock crafted from chemically patinated bronze and a hand-blown Murano glass dial.
