Jean-Antoine Lépine (LPine, LePine, Lepine, LEpine), was a revolutionary and inventive French watch and clockmaker, who contributed with crucial inventions for watchmaking still used nowadays. He was amongst the finest French watchmakers, who were years ahead of every other country in this respect. Around 1770, he devised a means of manufacturing a pocket watch that could be thinner, favouring the onward quest for further miniaturization. His radical design broke with a 300-year tradition and ushered in the age of precision timekeeping, the modern pocket watch was born. In addition to paving the way for the making of even thinner watches, this innovation was readily adaptable as the basic model for mass-producing watch-movements, a process that was to begin in the nineteenth century. Up to the 1840s, watches were all hand-finished, so that parts were not interchangeable. The Swiss, Leschot in particular, believed there was a market for cheaper, machine made watches with interchangeable parts. Refusing the incipient industrialization, French watch making only survived by becoming a peripheral adjunct to the Swiss watch making powerhouse, with only a few isolated Parisian cabinotiers still making truly French watches with French movements. The usual practice in the 18th century was to have the movement between two parallel plates and the balance wheel outside the top plate. The Lépine calibre discarded the top plate altogether and used individual cocks mounted on a single plate. This arrangement made it easier to assemble and repair the pocket watches, but also allowed the balance to be set to one side. Essentially, the “Lépine calibre” or “calibre à pont” , served to reduce a watchs thickness. To do this, it exchanged the traditional frame with two bottom plates for a single plate onto which the train is fixed with independent bridges. It also removed the fusee and its chain and then began using the cylinder escapement. He also invented the floating mainspring going barrel. The Lépine calibre uses bars and bridges instead of pillars and upper plates. As mentioned, the movement has no fusee which equalizes the driving power transmitted to the train, replaced instead by a going barrel to drive the train directly. This improvement was facilitated by using the cylinder escapement and enhanced springs. The calibre was quickly adopted throughout France and today its basic design is what characterizes all mechanical watches. It is important to note that the term “Lépine” can refer to both the calibre itself or a type of pocket watch with a flat, open-faced case in which the second wheel is placed in the axis of the winder shaft, in opposition to the savonete (or Hunter) watch where the second wheel and winder shaft are placed on perpendicular axes. This design has been known within the watch industry as the Lépine style ever since. Lépine’s work profoundly influenced all subsequent watchmaking, particularly Abraham Louis Breguet who used a modified version of the “calibre ponts” for his ultra slim watches. Indeed, except from the very start of his career the celebrated and extremely well known Breguet almost always used Lépine calibres and then modified them. Along with Ferdinand Berthoud Lépine was master of Breguet. NOTE:PLEASE OBSERVE CAREFULLY THE PHOTOS! IT IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.

We only sell 100% AUTHENTIC items. Antoine Lepine was a true great master of watchmaking in the 18th century and one of the founder of mechanical watchmaking. He revolutionized mechanical watch movement by getting rid of the fusee and still was able to design an accurate running movement. This is an authentic Lepine pocket watch made in the 1750s, in 22K (tested) gold case with enamel panel in the back and diamond adorned bezels in the front & back. Lepine was appointed’Royal Watchmaker’ by French royal court in 1766 and began signing his works since then, so this pocket watch lacks such designation was made before that year. All of the characteristics including dial, case and movement are all consistent with authentic Lepine work from that age. It’s simply incredible to find such an old timepiece made by or under the supervision of a true lengendary watchmaker. Condition-wise the watch is NOT RUNNING due to lack of mainspring power. We do not know if the mainspring is broken or loose but there is no power when wound. The fusee assembly including the chain is full intact and the balance swings freely. The wheel train is also working fine. Cosmetically this watch is showing its antique age, it has many cracks on the original dial, missing hands, and the lip of the case has detached from the back causing a rip in the case. It has previously been repaired (soldered) but has now has come apart again. The enamel panel on the caseback has worn where most of the forehead region of the ladies bust has worn down. There are also a few missing diamonds on the front and back bezels. There is no crystal present. Return can be made if the item received significantly deviate from the lot description and must be made within 3 days after receiving item.
