Art
One early criticism of Impressionist painting was that its practitioners sought to elevate the status of the ébauche to the level of finished painting.
Horology
Until about 1850, the watchmaker’s ébauche consisted of two plates with pillars and bars, the
ratchet-wheel, along with a few assembling screws. These parts were all roughly filed and milled.[1] The steel and brass were manufactured in a special workshop. The ébauche was finished by watchmakers in a finishing shop. The assortiment (literally "assortment" in English) are the parts of a watch other than the ébauche, in particular the regulating organs and include the balance, hairspring or spiral, escape wheel, anchor lever and pallet stones or jewels. The modern ébauche is a jewelled watch movement, without its regulating organs, mainspring, dial, or hands.[citation needed
