Note: What’s an ebauche? It’s a bit like a car engine and gearbox supplied as a complete unit, essentially an ebauche movement was supplied from a manufacturer to various Swiss – or other – brand names, who then added dials, hands, winders & stems, and cased the watch. Technically is an unassembled or incomplete watch movement that contains the main components. Generally known as a movement kit to be assembled (often without the escapement parts), ebauches are usually finished, adjusted and/or decorated (and sometimes modified) by the watchmakers of the purchasing brand.
