Singapore-based Bauche is an independent watch company that derives its name from the horological term “ebauche.” They embody a timepiece designed to narrate a story as time passes. Their watches draw inspiration from everyday items and occupations, as well as celestial bodies thousands of lightyears away, to infuse a unique story into each timepiece. They strive to redefine what is possible with a creative touch, offering watches that serve as conversation starters and make a lasting impression in your collection. Their latest Kickstarter campaign, the Stargazer Carina Nebula Collection, will launch on October 18th, 2024, at 11:00 am NYC time.
What is a Nebula? A nebula is a distinct luminescent part of the interstellar medium, consisting of ionized, neutral, or molecular hydrogen and cosmic dust. Nebulae are often regions where stars are formed. In these regions, gas, dust, and other materials come together to form denser regions, which attract further matter and eventually become dense enough to form stars. The remaining material is then thought to form planets and other objects in planetary systems.
The Carina Nebula is a large, intricate area of bright and dark nebulosity in the Carina constellation. It is situated in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way galaxy and is approximately 8,500 light-years from Earth. This incredible phenomenon is the direct inspiration for their inaugural collection, as seen through the James Webb Space Telescope. Each dial consists of three layers of different materials, like how the gases and other materials overlap in space. Brilliant mother-of-pearl stones, IP-plated guilloche, and IP-plated meteorite stones are layered to form the one-of-a-kind dial.
