The Mechanical Walks of L’Épée
Now under LVMH, L’Épée reissues six of its iconic creations in collaboration with various artists, transforming its renowned mechanical clocks into true kinetic sculptures.

What to think of Trilobe’s Le Temps Retrouvé? We still don’t know
Trilobe’s Le Temps Retrouvé is an unclassifiable horological work, blending art, mechanics, and poetry. A GPHG finalist, this “breathing” creation reinvents the very notion of time: without hands, hours are shown by moving rosettes and minutes by the rotation of a pupil. Neither watch nor automaton, it blurs the line between living being and machine. A true sensory experience, it even diffuses a fragrance in sync with its mechanical breath. More than a timepiece, it is an emotional abstraction, a sculpture of time that defies traditional watchmaking codes and categories.

Powered by the Calibre 92 with 100 hours of power reserve, this limited edition of 180 pieces embodies Glashütte Original’s excellence, poetry, and artisanal mastery.
