T-REX x MASSENA LAB | L'Epée 1839

INTRO

The MB&F X L’Epée X Massena LAB T-Rex Bronze
A Reimagination of the Famed Jurassic Inspired Timepiece

T-Rex Bronze creates a harmonious balance between mechanical and organic forms. Playing off the original design, the T-Rex Bronze switches out the use of steel for bronze, an alloy used by the early humans that ushered in a new era in history and acts as a nod to the clock’s more ancient influence.

THE STORY

Massena LAB , the collaboration studio founded by watch industry veteran Wiliam Massena, has teamed up with horological concept laboratory MB&F, and renowned Swiss clock maker L’Epée 1839, to release a new limited edition of the the fabled T-Rex Art Clock that was first created for Only Watch, the MB&F X L’Epée X Massena LAB T-Rex Bronze .
Limited to just 15 examples, this collaboration captures the fun and child-like inspiration of the original but is done up in a material invoking an object more rugged, organic and with a keen sense of history.

INSIGHTS

The feet of the T-Rex Bronze are aged and stabilized creating a dark brown color, reminiscent of the sculptures fashioned by the founder of modern sculpture, Rodin. In addition, the T-Rex is specially treated to “lock in time” its color and material characteristics. This hand-done oxidation and patina process makes no two clocks alike.

Its translucent green “eyeball” dial, made of hand-blown Murano glass, complements the overall bronze tone of the clock. Furthermore, the green eye invokes one of the most famous scenes in Jurassic Park, when the movie’s protagonists encounter the Tyrannosaurus Rex on a stormy night in the park, peering into their jeep.
