Japy Frères was a renowned French clockmaking company founded in 1777 by Frédéric Japy in Beaucourt, France. Initially a workshop specializing in watch and clock movements, it played a pivotal role in the industrialization of horology by introducing mechanized production methods. Throughout the 19th century, Japy Frères expanded its operations to produce not only clocks but also a range of industrial goods, including tools and hardware. Known for its high-quality craftsmanship, the company gained prominence for its mantel clocks, carriage clocks, and ornate timepieces, often featuring intricate designs in bronze and porcelain. Japy Frères became a significant player in the European clockmaking industry until the early 20th century, when the decline of mechanical clocks and increased competition led to its eventual closure.
