ébauche Explanation: This word can be tranalated with scetch, but it is a typical watch industry word that cannot be translated and is used as it stands. Here is the definition: "Ebauche French term (but commonly used in English-speaking countries) for a movement blank, i.e. an incomplete watch movement which is sold as a set of loose parts, comprising the main plate, the bridges, the train, the winding and setting mechanism and the regulator. The timing system, the escapement and the mainspring, however, are not parts of the "ébauche"." HTH |
