In 1999, Thierry Amstutz crafted the first erotic clock, so-called « libertine » or « malicious », in the Louis the 13th style, mute, with double escapements, showing two figures carved in lime tree wood. These are always in motion, coiled up inside their white pearly hiding place, which opens up like a case.
