In celebration of the 1960s, the golden era of racing, L’Epée introduces Time Fast II, a V8 racing thoroughbred clock faithfully replicating much of the technology and design that made those racing sports cars so appealing. Time Fast II is built on a H-chassis in aluminium as the racing cars were, and a three-spoke steering wheel sets the time. The spoked stainless wheels are meticulously crafted, and their soft compound rubber tires are filled with special foam to replicate the pressure of tires. The time displays (hours and minutes) of the manufacture 8-day movement are on the dual air filters feeding the V8’s two banks of carburettors. Under the driver’s helmet sits the perpetually animated 2.5 Hz escapement and turning the ignition key starts the pistons of the V8 engine moving realistically up and down. Pushing Time Fast II backwards along a table enables the winding of the two movements.
