Spero Lucem presents La Clémence

From the independent watchmaker Spero Lucem

Firmly anchored in the Eaux-Vives district of Geneva, a stone’s throw from Lake Léman and its famous Jet d’eau, the Spero Lucem brand has been created through a rare association of horological competencies.

Yvan Arpa has a deep love for his home town and his first timepiece, an amazing minute repeater named “La Clémence” is a celebration and a tribute to one of the bells on Geneva’s cathedral.

Equipped with a tourbillon with a carriage performing one turn per minute, this exceptional model houses a third and unprecedented complication in the shape of hands which “go crazy” when the striking mechanism is activated.

Everything is done to ensure a complete focus on the sound, but suddenly the visual magic takes over once more and the hands return to their correct place. A brand that aspires to light in a very near future...
