Buci Launches the New Nouvelle Collection
The Buci Nouvelle collection merges watchmaking with literary inspiration, offering a compact 36 mm stainless‑steel timepiece that reflects the aesthetics of books and short stories. Its case features a polished‑and‑satin‑brushed finish, an oval concave bezel, and a textured dial available in an aged‑paper “Essentiel” version or a deep‑blue “Contemplation” version, both hand‑painted with irregular calligraphic numerals. Powered by a manually wound Sellita SW219 movement with a 42‑hour power reserve, the watch displays a small seconds sub‑dial at 9 o’clock and aligns its hands hourly to form a fountain‑pen nib, reinforcing the writing‑themed concept. Limited to 300 individually numbered pieces, the collection is presented in a book‑shaped box with a notebook for personal notes and will be available via Kickstarter from 25 September to 15 November 2026 at a launch price of €1,550, later rising to €1,850. The watches can be tried at several international events, including the Toronto Timepiece Show, We Love Watches in Paris, the Windup Watch Fair in New York, and the Spring Sprung Sprang in Singapore, highlighting Buci’s blend of cultural storytelling and high‑end horology.
