Emmanuel ALLISY founded his Workshop in 1985, where various time pieces, town clocks, scientific instruments and other curiosities sit side-by-side and where antique dealers and enthusiastic collectors are regular visitors.

His passion of mechanics and mastery of metalworking have enabled him to develop a wide range of activities from restoring exceptional time pieces to different turret clocks , through to creating and reproducing all sorts of mechanical devices.

Starting from a drawing, his speciality is to imagine, develop and construct the actual mechanism; it is for this expertise that the CNAM asked him to reconstruct the objects born of the imagination of Leonardo da Vinci - such as the odometer - and construct from scratch, the works of art that illustrate the theoretical designs of the Master.

These unique objects form a very limited series.

If you are tempted by the desire to see "for real", a mechanism that you know only through a vague sketch, then do not hesitate to come and meet Emmanuel in his Workshop at Villejuif France.

You will be astonished by the works of art that he has produced and his desire to recreate from original designs.
