About the maker
Brillié were pioneers of early electric timekeeping in France, best known for their precise, laboratory‑grade pendulum clocks and the clean, modern industrial aesthetic that followed. Founded in the early 20th century, the firm specialised in electromagnetic movements that offered remarkable accuracy for public buildings, workshops and scientific environments.

Their wall clocks—often octagonal or round, with crisp dials and confident Art Deco numerals—combine technical innovation with understated French design. Today, Brillié pieces are prized for their blend of engineering heritage and graphic, architectural presence, making them favourites among collectors and designers alike.
