L'Epée is a Swiss-based luxury brand with offices in Delémont, Canton Jura.[1] It specializes in manufacturing mechanical clocks.
In 1839, Auguste L’Epée (1798–1875) and Pierre-Henri Paur (from Geneva) founded the L’Epée Manufacture in Sainte-Suzanne, Doubs Department, located in eastern France. At the time, the manufacturer produced horological products and music boxes.[2] [3]
Patents under the L’Epée name include an 1888 music box[4] and a 1935 mechanical clock movement.[5]
Swiza SA, which already owned Swiza 1904 and Matthew Norman, bought the L’Epée brand in 2008.[6]
In 2024, L’Epée was acquired by luxury conglomerate LVMH under its watches division.[7]
