The house of Lepine was located at Place des Victoires in Paris. Founded by Jean-Antoine Lepine (1762-1814), it produced mechanisms that revolutionised the field of watchmaking. He became the watchmaker of King Louis XV in 1765. The house was taken over by his son-in-law Claude-Pierre Raguet, known as Lépine, who died before him. When Jean-Antoine died, his grandson sold the house, but the following owners kept the name Lepine until the 1920s.
