"Persée, Maison Alcée's first creation, is a clock that you can assemble with your own hands, at home and on your own, including the mechanical movement.
It is delivered in a box containing a book on the borderline between a compendium of watchmaking know-how and a work of art, 233 components made by and for Maison Alcée, over 95% of them in the French-Swiss Jura Arc, and the professional tools needed to assemble the timepiece, some of which have been specially adapted to facilitate use by the uninitiated.
The whole project was developed with the help of a watchmaking team comprising a Meilleur Ouvrier de France to draw on the skills of a craftsman of excellence, teachers for the educational dimension, and a designer to breathe new life into the old-fashioned clock.
Presented in a custom-made case, all the components of your Persée clock will be perfectly protected to reach you.
In order to offer you a unique experience, we pay particular attention to the preparation of your boxes.
Every detail has been thought through with great care.
All the professional tools needed to assemble the timepiece are included in your case.
Some of them have been specially adapted to make them easier to use for the uninitiated.
- 4 watchmakers' screwdrivers
- Brass tweezers
- A watchmaker's magnifying glass
- An oil spike
- An oil sink and its oil
- Finger cots to work with
- A polishing cloth
- A membrane box
The regulator is "suspended" between two elastic films in a so-called "membrane box".
These cases are commonly used in watchmaking to protect fragile and shock-sensitive components. The technology has been patented.
Explore the captivating world of watchmaking with this compendium that will guide you through each stage of assembly, while transmitting watchmaking know-how.
"It's a beautiful book of a hundred pages to immerse yourself in, not just a notice. It's an integral part of our sets that ask in all cases to take a break, to take time to refocus on an activity that requires concentration."
"I liked everything about this project: from the original design that allowed us to have two clocks in one, to Maison Alcée's ambition to make people discover this profession that is so dear to my heart.
Thierry Ducret, one of the Best Watchmakers in France and partner of Maison Alcée
The movement of the Persée timepiece has been designed to be assembled by any enthusiast.
From the design of the movement to its realization, our team of watchmaking professors, engineers and one of France's Meilleurs Ouvriers have developed a manufactured movement to give you an experience at the heart of time.
This movement has a power reserve of 14 days.
The ringing at the passage of the hours is an addition that brings value to the movement.
In watchmaking, this is called a watchmaking complication.
- 17 components from hammer blade to lacquered bell.
- A chime that rings every hour
- The chime can be switched on and off
Once opened and installed, the "watchmaker's workbench" becomes a heightened assembly workbench, similar to the professional watchmaker's workspace.
With its armrests and receptacles.
The Maison Alcée watchmaker's bench enhances your assembly space. Its armrests prevent arm fatigue, the watchmaker's great enemy. Available in option.
