    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.

    Testing and Adjusting Clock Movements

    SEMCW3-07 Testing and adjusting clock movements Overview This unit identifies the competences you need to carry out tests and adjustments on clock movements, in accordance with approved procedures. You will be required to carry out tests on a range of clock movements, such as longcase, regulator, two and three train fusee, two and three train going barrel, and one and two train with platform escapement, to establish that they are functioning correctly. You will be required to carry out tests and adjustments which will include function, duration, and variation in accuracy during the duration, rate and beat. Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy and procedures for carrying out the testing and adjustment activities, and to report any problems with these activities that you cannot personally resolve, or that are outside your permitted authority, to the relevant people. You will be expected to work with a minimum of supervision, taking personal responsibility for your own actions and for the quality and accuracy of the work that you carry out. Your underpinning knowledge will provide a good understanding of your work, and will provide an informed approach to applying appropriate testing and adjusting procedures to clock movements. You will understand the clock movements being tested and adjusted, the test equipment being used, the various testing procedures and their application, in adequate depth to provide a sound basis for carrying out the activities, correcting faults, and ensuring that the clock movement functions correctly. You will also be expected to report where the outcome of the tests and adjustments identifies the need for further investigation or corrective measures.
