The watch's escapement has been rotated 90 degrees to form the spider's head, and the mainspring barrel sits at the rear of the abdomen. Inside (and outside) the body is L'Epée's eight-day movement, redesigned to fit the shape of the spider's body. When the legs are fully flat, it measures 405mm (16 inches) when the legs are extended, it stands 203mm (8 inches) tall. It's manufactured in two colours, lacquered black or 18K gold plate. The piece is made up of 218 components, with ball-and-socket articulated, injection-moulded legs. I was explaining how incredible this new clock was when the idea of hanging it on the wall popped up in my mind."įrom left to right: The 18K gold-plated version the black version mounted on a wall and a close-up of the dome clock face with curved hands. The first one was the spider itself, and the second took place in the middle of a meeting when I was presenting it and had the spider in my hand near a wall. "In fact, the clock was made in two steps. "Making this clock was an adventure it is the first time we went so far on a design," said L'Epée 1839 CEO Arnaud Nicolas. In Arachnophobia, the clock has been reimagined as the body of a spider, its mechanical movement engineered to sit partially outside the body as the spider's head, where it can be viewed and admired as it sits on a table, or mounted to a wall. Instead, the piece is an homage to artist Louise Borgeois and her giant spider sculptures, the most famous of which is the statue called Maman. While it's apropos, that's not the imagery intended with self-described horological concept laboratory MB&F's latest timepiece, Arachnophobia, engineered by Swiss clockmaker L'Epée 1839. It can be argued time creeps up on us all, like a giant daddy long legs, sparing none.
