L’Epée 1839 has unveiled Time Fast D8, a modern mechanical clock with an 8-day power reserve that takes its design cues from vintage race cars. The timepiece features a number of eye-catching details, such as the long protruding engine hood, the typical 1950s radiator grill, the large spoked wheels, the driving seat positioned to the rear and the sloping back section. A figure sits in the cockpit, where a glass dome, or rather a driver’s helmet, highlights the thrumming escapement.
