L’Empreinte

The art of gesture and time

Dive into the world of L’Empreinte , a mechanical wall clock where horological precision meets the freedom of artistic gesture.

Born from a collaboration with an artisan-artist, each creation captures a fleeting moment of matter in motion. The dial becomes a canvas where pigments, textures, and light compose a singular work of art, crafted never to be identically reproduced.

“Much like a contemporary piece of art that captures the ephemeral, the Empreinte clock reveals a living medium, with each creation possessing its own unique identity.”

On a curved solid wood base, the pigments stretch, cross, and merge under the artisan’s hand.
Cold lamination freezes this creative instant, revealing a living texture made of reliefs and constantly varying nuances.

Like an imprint, each dial is unique.

At the heart of this creation sits our Courbet mechanical movement, manufactured in our workshop. Its regular swing brings the piece to life with discretion, recalling the intimate link between time, matter, and the artisan’s touch.

The finishes—in hand-polished stainless steel for a contemporary aesthetic, or gold-plated for a warmer presence—allow everyone to find the perfect balance for their interior. Every detail is designed to highlight the artwork without ever stealing its spotlight.

Like all our creations, L’Empreinte is entirely manufactured in France and benefits from the expertise recognized by the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV – Living Heritage Company) label.

More than just a clock, L’Empreinte is a meeting between two artistic crafts: the precision of mechanics and the free expression of matter. A work of art that measures time as much as it dresses the space.
