- Japy Frères History
Beaucort, France
Édouard Louis Frédéric Japy
There are so many JAPY clocks still aroundbecause Frédéric Japy (1749-1812) was a pioneer in the industrialization of not only clocks, but of manufacturing in general. An imaginative inventor of all sorts of machines, he began his career as a watchmaker.The son of Jacques Japy (1699-1781) and Marie Marguerite Fainot (1745-1797), Frédéric Japy was born on May 22, 1749 at Beaucourt , a small village at the end of the principality of Montbéliard . He was the second born of a large family of twelve children. One of the wealthiest families in Beaucourt , the father of Frédéric Japy, Jacques, was a major player in the village and, in 1760, he became the Protestant mayor BeaucourtFrédéric Japy began school in Beaucourt. From childhood, he was introduced to craft activities and learned to live in a structured and supportive business Environment. His schoolmaster quickly noticed his great intelligence and encouraged his father to send him to Montbéliard to continue his education. Jacques Japy thus placed his son in French school or \"gymnasium\" where he received an excellent educationFrédéric Japy was apprenticed by Jacques Georges Frédéric Japy, his grandfather, in the profession of watchmaker in Montbeliard. At age 17, he returned to Beaucourt to spend two years working in the workshop of his father.
Village of Beaucourt
At that time, watch and clock parts were manufactured usually by hand by specialized workers in their homes in small communities.The parts were then collected and mounted into a piece by an \'assembler\'. Once the movement was assembled, it was then sent to a \'dresser\' who would in turn mount it into a case - be it a small one or an elaborate brass plated mantle clock complete with mythological figures.
Frederic Japy purchasedsome offew clock making machines in existence, brought them back to his native town of Beaucourt and proceeded to invent new ones in order to standardize the pieces and the quality of the production.

The workers were then regrouped into one location instead of being scattered throughout the countrysideand each one was assigned to a specific work post with its own specific machine. Frederic Japy radically changed the way clocks were produced. The sequential production of parts in one location - a manufacturing plant - aided by machines meant that clock parts were made and assembled in about half the time that it had taken previously.

Japy\'s plant revolutionized manufacturing. Production schedules were now established by the plant owner and not by the local artisan. The number of steps and operations were reduced by half. All parts could be assembled into a finished product on-site instead of the previous sub-assemblies and the machines could be operated by a less-skilled worker.
Japy then imagined other applications (and invented the machines required to produce them) such as the mass production of hardware parts (screws, nails, bolts) and other products -rotating pumps (a model still in use today), locks, and he perfected the creation and baking of enamelware.
