Glossary

Ebauche

Is a French term that means "blank" or "incomplete." It refers to an unfinished watch movement. Ebauches are manufactured by specialized companies and sold to other watch companies for use in watchmaking.


Ebauches serve as a foundation for developing and producing watch movements. They are customized and modified to meet the needs of watch manufacturers. Ebauches are used as a starting point for developing movements instead of building them from scratch, which saves time and cost in watch production.

Ebauches are available in various sizes and specifications, and they can be customized and modified according to the requirements of the watch manufacturer or specific design requests. Ebauches are used in a wide range of watches, from simple timepieces to luxury watches with advanced complications.
