In today's fast-paced world, L’Epée 1839 invites you to take a moment for yourself and appreciate the great moments and small luxuries in life.

The greatest champion

The 1920s and 1930s were pivotal years in racing history, when one particular race car model held the greatest track record in vintage motorsports history. The T35 combines design, technology, power and precision in ode to these memorable champion cars. Race cars from that era were powered by inline 8-cylinder engines, which were celebrated for durability and reliability; properties which also resonate with L'Epée 1839's own timeless mechanical creations. They also featured a lightweight chassis that was beautiful, powerful and fast, perfectly combining aesthetics with strength and agility. The L’Epée 1839 T35 makes a nostalgic play on this high performance by incorporating similar aesthetic details into a high-performance horological time piece with attitude.
