A Lépine watch is a type of open-face watch, which means it has no cover or lid over its face. It was invented in the 18th century by French watchmaker Jean-Antoine Lépine and is characterized by a movement with a single stem and winding crown at the 12 o’clock position. The movement has a bridge-style construction and often includes a sub-second dial. The hands of a Lépine watch can be either blued steel or gold, depending on the watch’s style. This type of watch is still popular today, as it is both timeless and classic in its design.
