Hello
My Christmas present: a pair of Japy watches from the 2000s. I'd been looking for a Japy for years, without success, and then two at once!

A GMT automatic and a quartz alarm clock.

Here are some photos.
As you can see, the set includes a bracelet and various modules.
The quartz alarm clock is currently being repaired. More to come.

But I'm looking for the base that holds the alarm clock, as well as the other modules.
Bonnes fêtes de fin d'année

How interesting, some time ago I serviced an antique "Japy Freres" mantle clock for a friend.

Unfortunately, a previous clockmaker had performed some incredible butchery so the movement was basically scrap.



I didn't realise that they still existed and produced very nice watches.

Hello, the story of these Japy watches was short-lived. Bankruptcy was the inevitable outcome.

If I was looking for one of these watches, it was also to add it to another collection: a collection of Japy Frères clocks and alarm clocks, of which I own a few. I also have some movements. Perhaps I can help you? Have a good Sunday.
