THE ART OF TIME
The Art of Time is a collaboration between Sarcar and Bahati Project, where Swiss horological precision meets a distinct artistic vision.
Time has always been treated as something fixed. Measured. Controlled.
The Art of Time challenges that idea.
Through this collaboration with Sarcar, Bahati Project brings a new perspective to Swiss watchmaking—one rooted in symbolism, perception, and artistic expression.
Each creation becomes a visual language where past, present, and future are not separated, but connected.
Not designed to follow time, but to transform the way it is experienced.
THINK AHEAD
At the heart of the dial lies an Adinkra symbol from the Akan people, meaning "think ahead”, which is engraved by hand and highlighted by black lacquer applied carefully.
This symbol is an ancient diagram of the mind looking to the future. Its strength lies in the balance of three key elements:
A circle holds everything together, like time itself — continuous, unbroken. The two vertical diamonds extending upward and downward symbolize past and future. They are not separated; they are connected through the center, where the hands are anchored, representing the present moment and awareness — the only place where time truly exists.
Each rotation becomes more than a measurement — it becomes a reminder that the future is shaped by what we choose to carry forward.
This watch does not simply measure time — it reflects how we choose to carry it.
A convergence of precision and symbolism, this timepiece redefines the language of contemporary haute horlogerie.
Created in collaboration with Sarcar, this watch brings together the technical mastery of Swiss watchmaking with the conceptual vision of Bahati Project - where time is no longer a constraint, but an experience.
Encased in 18K white gold, the 40 mm silhouette reveals a dial conceived as a living composition. At its center, a hand-executed micropainting becomes the foundation of a symbolic architecture, animated by four rotating diamonds totaling 2.00 carats. Their perpetual motion introduces a sense of fluidity - an ever-changing interplay between light, movement, and perception.
Beneath this artistic expression lies the refinement of the Frederic Piguet 615 automatic movement, a caliber chosen for its elegance and precision. Every component reflects a commitment to both mechanical excellence and aesthetic integrity.
The piece is further elevated by a snow diamond setting - over a thousand diamonds totaling more than 8 carats - extending across the case. Each detail is executed with the rigor of high jewelry and watchmaking craftsmanship.
Finished with a deep blue alligator strap, fully interchangeable, the watch balances strength and sophistication, offering versatility without compromising its identity.
This is not a watch designed to measure time.
It is a creation that transforms it.
