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.
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.
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.
