Ressence

The Ressence TYPE 1° DX3, a collaboration between Ressence and Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, is a limited edition watch that combines the complexity of Arabic mosaics and the horological technique of cloisonné. This watch marks the conclusion of a six-year partnership and is the third in a series, maintaining continuity with its predecessors while offering a unique interpretation of Arab art. The series features watches with dials inspired by Arab Geometric Art and a rose gold color scheme reminiscent of desert hues. Benoît Mintiens, the founder of Ressence, emphasizes the universal appreciation of aesthetic balance across different cultures and trades.

The Type 1° DX3’s dial colors are logically arranged, with darker shades radiating outwards, and the cloisonné design becomes particularly visible in the dark due to the use of grade A Super-LumiNova® on the dial and numerals. The DX3 is built on the T1° Round model, known for its new pebble-like case, providing a smooth and tactile experience. Alongside the launch of the DX3, Ressence has also released a limited edition book titled “Arts & Crafts in Motion,” detailing the creation and craftsmanship of the DX trilogy. The Type 1° DX3 is limited to 35 pieces.
