Catalogue Essay
- L'Epée has long been known for creating innovative and captivating clock timepieces, and the present racecar clock has won the hearts of many, with brands like Tiffany & Co. among its notable collaborators for special editions.
- The “Time Fast D8” collection, launched in 2019, replicates a 1950s race car and was released in seven different colors. The present example features a vibrant blue finish accompanied by a striking white stripe design, exuding a distinctly retro aesthetic. The durable rubber tires and stainless steel spokes enhance its vintage appeal, while the brushed steel aperture evokes a racing number, precisely indicating the hours and minutes.
- Beneath a helmet-domed glass, the clockwork comes to life, revealing the intricate motion of the L’Epée in-house calibre 1855 MHD mechanics.
- Time is set with a simple turn of the steering wheel, and a pull-back winding mechanism adds playful functionality. Offered for the first time at Phillips, this limited edition example—one of just 100 pieces—is a treasure destined for collectors and connoisseurs around the globe.
