Dive into the Captivating World of Watchmaking through the Ages

Welcome to our carefully selected collection of clocks, a journey through time and the history of watchmaking. Each piece is a masterpiece of mechanics and aesthetics, offering art and history lovers a window on the past while remaining anchored in the present.

The First Clocks: Origins and Evolution

The history of watchmaking begins with the first water and sun clocks, used in ancient civilisations to measure time with varying degrees of accuracy. Discover reproductions and authentic objects that show how these early instruments evolved into more complex mechanical clocks in the Middle Ages.

Renaissance and Grand Siècle: The Golden Age of Clockmaking

During the Renaissance, clocks became not only utilitarian tools but also symbols of status and knowledge. Our clocks from this period are adorned with exquisite details and integrated into furniture or objets d'art. They reflect the refinement and technical innovation of the period, with visible mechanisms and precious metal ornamentation.

The Era of Longcase Clocks and Grandfather Clocks

As we move forward in time, clocks become more accurate and more accessible. Longcase and grandfather clocks appeared, offering greater precision and a style that varied from the austere to the beautifully decorated. These classic pieces, often made of richly worked wood and with visible pendulum mechanisms, are a testament to the craftsmanship of their time.

Modernism and Contemporary Clocks: Simplicity and Precision

Modernism brings an aesthetic of simplicity and functionality. Clocks from this period and contemporary clocks are characterised by clean lines, modern materials such as metal and glass, and innovative technologies. They are designed to blend harmoniously into modern spaces while offering exceptional precision.

21st Century Technology and Watchmaking: The Digital Age

The digital age has transformed watchmaking once again, integrating advanced technologies such as digital displays, atomic synchronisation and intelligent functions. Our contemporary clocks don't just measure time; they interact with our environment and our devices to enhance our daily lives.
