The Collections of Bedat & Co: Differentiation and Timelessness
When Bedat & Co was launched in 1997, its management chose to adopt a global brand concept based on the powerful values of differentiation, timelessness, refinement and sophistication. The collection names were an integral part of this approach and were chosen in order to reinforce these values. Each number corresponds to a philosophy or to an aesthetic principle.
Within the watchmaking world, watch names are rarely consistent with the timepiece itself or with the brand. That is why the Bedat & Co collections carry numbers. Representing a unique case in watchmaking, this name system endows the watch lines with a genuine sense of consistency and unity. The numbers are easy to memorize and convey a universal and powerful symbolism.
The numbers do not follow on from each other and are not associated with any particular chronological order. The first Bedat & Co collection is thus not called No 1, which was created well after No 3 and No 7. At Bedat & Co, numbers are timeless.
The Bedat & Co Logo
The Bedat & Co logo represents a figure eight, originally formed by the two "B's" of Bédat & Bédat.
The figure eight is a universal symbol of perfection and infinity. It is the number of cosmic equilibrium, meaning the order of the universe, the harmony between the earthly kingdom and the heavenly kingdom. Within the Chinese culture, the meaning of the figure eight goes well beyond that of universal order, since it is a lucky number symbolizing prosperity. In Cantonese, "eight" is pronounced "fa", exactly the same pronunciation as a character meaning "to get rich"!
It is often used to depict the hourglass, a sign of the passing of time.
This logo is also the watch company's maker's mark. It was registered on February 10th 1997 at the Precious Metals Control Central Bureau. Each part carries this mark, thereby guaranteeing its Swiss origin.
Today, Bedat & Co watches immediately stand out from the crowd, largely thanks to the figure that continues to appear on all models and in various guises: interpreted as an applique, surrounding the counters on a chronograph model or escaping from the dial and alighting on a watch lug.
