    1 L’EPEE 1839 – the premier clock manufacture in Switzerland For over 175 years, L'Epée has been at the forefront of watch and clock making. Today, it is the only specialised manufacture in Switzerland dedicated to making high-end clocks. L'Epée was founded in 1839, initially to make music box and watch components, by Auguste L’Epée who set up the business near Besançon, France. The L’Epée hallmark was that all parts were made entirely by hand. From 1850 onwards, the manufacture became a leading light in the production of ‘platform’ escapements, creating regulators especially for alarm clocks, table clocks and musical watches. By 1877, it was making 24,000 platform escapements annually. The manufacture became a well-known specialist owning a large number of patents on special escapements such as anti-knocking, auto-starting and constant-force escapements and the chief supplier of escapements to several celebrated watchmakers of the day. L'Epée has won a number of gold awards at International Exhibitions. During the 20th century, L'Epée owed much of its reputation to its superlative carriage clocks and, for many, L'Epée was the clock of the influential and powerful; it was also the gift of choice by French government officials to elite guests. In 1976 when the Concorde supersonic aircraft entered commercial service, L'Epée wall clocks were chosen to furnish the cabins, providing passengers with visual feedback of the time. In 1994, L'Epée showed its thirst for a challenge when it built the world's biggest clock with compensated pendulum, the Giant Regulator.

  • A Note from the Editors…. Apologies for the Lateness of This Newsletter, but As Quite a Lot of You Know I (Fergus) Have Been Recovering from a Fractured Back
    Presidents Report Hi all, Well it’s a little over 3 months since my last communication and I am happy to report the club is running smoothly and tracking well. The Christmas meeting was a great night and I would like to make a special thank you to Jim & Lydia Reaper for their kind donation of 5 great door prizes, (a selection of hampers and wine!) All attendees received a raffle ticket and then we had the much anticipated draw , this really added a great festive feel to the night and kick started the celebrations. The Christmas mart was open to the public for the first time this year and I must say it was a great success. (Our primary goals and objectives = increase awareness of society, increase membership, increase revenue) High level summary: 155 general public paying customers attended @$5 each = $775 All 28 tables sold out @ $40 each = $1120 Raffle ticket sales income = approx. $350 4 x New Members joined the society (approx. a 6% increase in membership) 4 Members renewed their membership on the day = $320 After expenses (hall hire, advertising, printing, insurance, sundries, etc) we are still in front and made a profit but more importantly we increased awareness of our society and increased our membership numbers! I would like to say “thank you “to all the volunteers who helped out on the day and to the “Mart committee” who worked for almost a year planning and preparing for this event and ensuring its success! (Chris Cosopodiotis, Bill DeKaste, Phil Gore, Mick Connolly) On the theme of club promotion, we have been invited back for the fourth time, to showcase Horology at the “lost trades fair” in Kyneton on the Labour Day long weekend (9th -10th March 2019) After much interest in our display last year we have been invited back to the Model Engineer Expo again this year.
