Marc Newson Teams Up With Ressence For The Type 3 MN
Marc Newson has collaborated with Ressence to create the limited edition Type 3 MN, a unique watch that marries Newson's iconic design language with Ressence's innovative technology. This timepiece features a 45mm grade 5 titanium case with a smooth, lugless design that integrates a rubber strap, offering a modern aesthetic reminiscent of Newson's earlier Ikepod creations. The oil-filled dial, which eliminates light distortion, presents a striking visual effect, making it appear as though the watch's components are floating beneath the sapphire crystal. The Type 3 MN boasts a complex dial with satellite discs that display various time indicators, including a running indicator and oil temperature gauge. With a price tag of $59,800 and a limited run of only 80 pieces, this watch targets design-driven collectors. While it lacks some traditional luxury watch features, its distinctive design and unique mechanics, including the self-winding ROCS 3.6 caliber movement, make it a compelling addition to any collection. The collaboration captures a nostalgic yet modern essence, appealing to those who appreciate both aesthetic innovation and horological craftsmanship.
