Persée, the first timepiece from Maison Alcée, is a table clock where you assemble everything (including the mechanical movement) yourself, doing it all in the comfort of your own home.
Here at Maison Alcée, we’ve honed our expertise still further in our relentless quest for excellence with Persée Or, a vibrant tribute to High Horology.
Persée Or is presented in a zebrawood box, crafted by a French artisan. Inside, you’ll find all 233 movement and case components, of which 169 are to be assembled, along with all the necessary horological tools (some specially developed for watchmaking beginners) and a wonderful book to guide the enthusiast through the assembly of Persée Or.
The meticulous attention brought to myriad details makes Persée Or a precious object, with over 95% of its components manufactured in France or Switzerland.
The whole project was developed with the help of a watchmaking team comprising Thierry Ducret, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, drawing on the skills of a craftsman of excellence, Jean-Marie Desgranges, a teacher, for the educational dimension, and Antoine Tschumi, a designer, to breathe new life into the old-fashioned clock.

The wheels, delicately given a circular brushed finish and bevelled by hand, showcase artisanal craftsmanship. Every surface and edge reflects painstaking craftsmanship, requiring an additional six days of highly specialized work for each timepiece.
The circular supports, carefully bevelled and mirror-polished, add an elegant touch.

“I loved everything about this project: from the original design that allowed us to have two clocks in one, to Maison Alcée’s ambition to introduce people to this profession that is so close to my heart.”
