nspired by the literary form of the short story, the collection celebrates the fragments of time that make up our days: a shared coffee, a few lines written in a notebook, a walk, or a ray of light crossing a room. Ordinary moments that, together, become the story of our lives.

With Nouvelle, Buci brings this idea into the language of watchmaking. The small seconds embodies these fragments of time, reminding us that life is shaped not only by its defining milestones, but also by the quiet moments that give it depth.

Swiss assembled and powered by the Swiss Made Sellita SW290 hand-wound mechanical movement, Nouvelle is a 36 mm unisex timepiece. Its design features a small seconds display evoking these fragments of time, hands that reveal the silhouette of a fountain pen nib every hour, a dial inspired by blotting paper, and a book-shaped presentation box accompanying every watch.

“With Nouvelle, I wanted to invite people to look at time differently: through the simple moments, the details that surround us, and those moments we choose to notice,” said Nousseïma Baraket, Founder of Buci.
