Title: Bausele and Seconde/Seconde/ Collaborate on Innovative Dive Watch Redefining Perspectives
In a notable collaboration, Bausele, recognized for its classic Sydney Diver, partnered with French artist seconde/seconde/ to transform a timepiece into a canvas of creativity. The outcome is a watch that transcends traditional design, prompting wearers to explore dual perspectives inherent in every narrative, particularly our connection with the natural world.
“Before I met the brand, I met the people behind the brand“, says Romaric Andre, founder of seconde/seconde/. “The people at Bausele are some sort of my opposite. They are cheerful and friendly. They are Australian (not necessarily born-and-raised Australian, but Australian at-heart). So, yes. They are my opposite. We’re living at antipodes. When the possibility of collab was mentioned, I brought “all the Australian clichés” in my personal brainstorm. Those clichés are usually not a good final idea but may help as a process starter. So let’s go. Australia. Sports. Nature. Surfboard. Sharks. Kangaroo. Sydney Opera House… Oh… The Sydney Opera House always made me think about shark fins instead of the usual sails… So shark again. Then Surfboard again. And that reminded me that I always associated shark fins and surf fins in my personal “who’s the real “Seamaster”” dilemma… That never-ending-and-pointless-question-of mine, fitting so well with the Australian “opposite and antipodes” vibes, convinced me I was onto something. Something about Perspective, something about a thing not being the same thing while being the same thing depending on your point of view. Something that you just cannot make the parties agree on. Something of a never-ending debate. Something at the end almost Kafkaesque and nerve-wracking… I told you. I’m the opposite of the Bausele team. They are fun and adorable. And I’m just a party-killer“.
Christophe Hoppe of Bausele adds: “In our collaboration with Seconde/Seconde/, which began with me sending a simple, hopeful DM from a fan of their remarkable work, we’ve intertwined the threads of time and perspective. This partnership is not just about creating a watch; it’s about shining a light on Australia and its burgeoning watchmaking scene. Together, we’ve crafted more than a timepiece; we’ve created a symbol of the ever-shifting views that define our world, celebrating the dynamic nature of time and the Australian spirit“.
In essence, Bausele and seconde/seconde/ have redefined the Sydney Diver and introduced a timepiece that transcends boundaries, encouraging wearers to embrace the ever-shifting views that define our world.
