CREATOR
WITHOUT LIMITS, AND FREE...
PORTRAIT DE JEAN-PIERRE LEPINE
Installed in the Jura mountains for many centuries, today the
family enterprise of Jean-Pierre Lépine specializes in the fabrication
of precision writing instruments and watches.
As an artisan, Jean-Pierre Lépine invents and manufactures these
writing tools and timepieces without limits of imagination. His
enterprise is structured to permit himself to plunge into his
projects, building on the continuous desire to create different,
markedly unique compositions, which hope to astonish, and provoke
dreams.
In the 18th Century, Jean-Antoine Lépine, Watchmaker to the King,
fabricated prestigious watches at the foot of the Jura, which
would pass into posterity. Beginning in 1988, in these same Jura
mountains only kilometers from center Geneva, Jean-Pierre Lépine,
already well-known among pen collectors for his limited edition
writing instruments, fashions timepieces that fit his image.
In 2005, he makes a splash by presenting the Belharra, a watch
full of character. Sprung from the depths of the oceans, Belharra
was inspired by the Graphyscaf (a limited series writing instrument
of 195 pieces) which flowed up from the deep recesses of the inventor's
imagination.
Well-proportioned, astonishing, even striking, Belharra has the
distinction of being articulated across four ball joints, which
permit a perfect adaptation of this watch to every wrist.
Available with a range of selected finishes and complications,
this watch is a verifiable innovation that makes all the difference.
