The first creation from the EX.CÆTERA creative label, Passe-temps revolves around an idea both serious and essential: shared time.
Somewhere between a clock and a kinetic artwork, it celebrates the time shaped by family, the hushed conversations of a restaurant, and the suspended moments of trips with friends. With the belief that shared time is meant to be admired rather than checked, Passe-temps restores time to its rightful place: the center of the home.

DROP N°1
Passe-temps
Passe-temps is built around two concentric circles.
The outer ring acts as a hand, slowly rotating to mark the hours and half-hours on a peripheral 24-hour scale. The inner ring, meanwhile, lets the seconds slip by like an hourglass, framed by a raw steel disk with a distinctive presence.
The whole composition rests on a dual-material pedestal in raw concrete and black marble - a clear nod to kinetic art and the quiet beauty of perpetual motion.

Beaubleu’s Vision of Creation
Since its beginnings, Maison Beaubleu has cultivated a singular sense of creativity and a uniquely personal way of capturing time. Until now, this light-hearted and delightfully offbeat vision lived mainly on the wrists of watch enthusiasts; today, it reaches beyond the world of watchmaking to weave itself into every aspect of daily life.
Born from the desire to explore new playgrounds and celebrate a true Culture of the Moment, the “Ex.Caetera” label emerges as the cultural and creative extension of Maison Beaubleu - a space for exclusive drops and collaborations driven by inspiration.
