Bausele Watches

Bausele, a watch brand, was established in 2011 in Sydney, Australia, by its founder, Christophe Hoppe. Drawing from his vast experience in the Swiss watch sector and a deep love for Australia, he recognized a gap in the market for a high-end Australian watch brand. After relocating to Sydney with his Australian spouse, Christo was captivated by the beauty of his new homeland. However, he felt there was a missing piece: a luxury Australian watch brand. As a result, he left his corporate position. Christo combined his passion for watch design with his admiration for the Australian way of life, culminating in the birth of Bausele, which stands for Beyond Australian Elements. This brand, acclaimed as Australia’s premier Swiss watch brand, has seen an upward trajectory since its inception.

By 2015, Bausele made history as the only Australian brand showcased at Baselworld, the world’s most prominent watch and jewelry expo. 2016 saw them partnering with the iconic Sydney Opera House for a special watch edition. That same year, they teamed up with Flinders University in Adelaide, giving birth to the Australian Advanced Manufacturing Company. This partnership led to the creation of a unique material for the Terra Australis watch casing, which gained prominence when worn by Dominic Purcell on his popular show, “Prison Break.” With time, Bausele’s reputation grew, leading them to supply the Army Intelligence Corps and Special Forces and broaden their global reach to countries like France, the USA, and Japan while also catering to over 40 nations online.
