About the Item

Vintage French station - Railway - Factory Brillie clock. The frame is metal with glass - The faces are painted. Measures: Diameter 20.47 inch Original vintage conditon. The clock comes from Reims capital of champagne in France. the clock has its original movement and this one works with a battery-powered master clock You just have to hang it on the wall It was in 1898 that Charles Vigreux and Lucien Brillié created a company manufacturing mechanical and electrical devices in Levallois-Perret. But very quickly, Lucien Brillié (engineer) will help his brother Henri to create electric clocks: the Brillié Frères workshops were born. They are not the first to build an electric clock but will allow its democratisation thanks to remote synchronisation. The principle is simple, a master clock made it possible to send an electrical impulse to 5.10, 15 clocks. This ensured perfect synchronisation and avoided the loss of time associated with rewinding the clocks Whether in France or abroad, many factories, stations, schools, etc. will thus be equipped with this very innovative system. The Brillié company will experience a strong period of growth in the 60s and 70s and will become the overwhelming leader of industrial watchmaking in France. However, the company will have difficulty adapting to technological changes and Asian competition in the 80s and ceased its activity in 1987.
