Remarks: The clock was made for the 150th anniversary of the brand. Gustave Courbet is from Ornans in France, which is not far from the original location of the brand's manufacture in Sainte-Suzanne. The clock was a tribute to Gustave Courbet who was likely friends with L’Epée 1839's founder Auguste L’Epée. We would like to thank L’Epée 1839 for their assistance with our research.
