News Imagined by MB&F, made by L’Epée 1839, here is the Starfleet Machine! A table clock in the shape of an intergalactic spaceship which displays the hours, minutes, double retrograde seconds and power reserve. Clearly visible and finely decorated, its manufactured movement has an exceptional forty-day power reserve with guaranteed accuracy of-2/+2 minutes. All the movement components have been designed and made in brass enhanced by palladium with an impeccable finish at the L’Epée 1839 workshop. The wheels and barrels are entirely visible thanks to the skeleton back plate and the external concentric structure fashioned in a C shape in steel. The Starfleet Machine can rest on its vertical supports on both sides, particularly useful when it is turned over to wind the barrel spring or adjust the time.
As a manufacturing enterprise founded 175 years ago in Besançon and now based in Delémont, L’Epée 1839 is the last company specialising in the production of high end clocks in Switzerland.
