Bausele Teams Up With Seconde/Seconde/ To Present The New ‘Perspective’
Bausele, an Australian watch brand that produces vintage-inspired watches, has just announced its latest collaboration with Romaric André’s Seconde/Seconde/ brand.
Based on the Bausele Sydney Diver watch, this one comes with an oversized second hand and a pixelated graphic in the shape of a fin that, depending on your perspective, could be that of a shark or a surfboard.
On the outside, the watch wears a black IP stainless steel case with dimensions of 39.50mm in diameter, 11.60mm in thickness and 47.50mm lug-to-lug distance. In it we can find an unidirectional bezel filled with luminescent material, sapphire crystal, drilled lugs, hollow screw-down crown filled with red sand from Kimberley, Australia and flanked by guards, and solid steel case back with several engravings and highlighting the joke ‘Does that fin belong on a surfboard or a shark?’.
The watch comes in two variants, one with a white dial and the other with a black dial that feature a layered sandwich construction, with the base in light blue tones being filled with Super-LumiNova and the surface layer cut out in the shape of the hour markers. In the center hour and minute hands, also filled with luminescent material and with a blue outline and the brand’s lettering inscriptions at noon and ‘deep!’ at 6 o’clock in an allusion to its 200m of watertightness.
The second hand, which is the main highlight, extending along the entire diameter of the dial, makes the fin drawn on it reverse every 30 seconds, functioning as a water line and depending on the perspective, we could be looking at a surfboard fin when is below or a shark’s fin when it is above that water line.
Inside, it comes equipped with the Sellita SW200 automatic movement that operates at 28,800 Vph and offers up to 38 hours of power reserve.
The watches come attached to a black Tropic-type rubber strap or a blue Velcro strap, and are available from today exclusively at the Bausele store for USD 1,400 and limited to 50 units of each.
