The deep, massive stripes that make Macassar so distinctive seem to drive the whole object forward. As the metal surfaces switch between a yellow gold, a polished and a satin finish, it feels like gears being shifted in a constant acceleration, with the magic incantation of Tashi’s engraving acting as an after-burner. In the spirit of Magritte, this is perhaps not a clock.

Exploring the unknown behind the known

The intention was never to simply attach a clock to a gun. L'Épée ingeniously redesigned the iconic Winchester's loading and cocking mechanism to wind the timekeeping caliber. They also reimagined the barrel system for time indication and setting. In the original rifle, the magazine held up to 15 rounds without reloading. It is only fitting that the reimagined Winchester clock requires 15 lever actions to fully wind the mechanism, providing a power reserve of approximately 7 days.
