Ressence Type 3 Marc Newson, A Meeting of Two Design Worlds
The Ressence Type 3 Marc Newson watch represents a unique collaboration between two influential design minds. Merging Benoît Mintiens’ innovative watchmaking approach with Marc Newson’s iconic design aesthetic, this limited edition watch showcases a smooth, pebble-like silhouette made from Grade 5 titanium. With its hermetically sealed chambers, the upper section filled with oil enhances the visual experience by eliminating refraction, allowing the time display to appear as if it floats beneath the sapphire crystal. The watch features a modular system powered by a customized automatic ETA 2824 movement, ensuring a seamless blend of mechanical precision and optical innovation. Available in a limited run of only 80 pieces, the Type 3 Marc Newson is set to be priced at CHF 46,000, excluding taxes. The watch boasts a dial composed of convex titanium discs that rotate to indicate time, oil temperature, and other functions, all designed with Newson’s distinctive color palette. The focus on ergonomic design, purity of form, and mechanical expression signifies a new era in watchmaking, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of art and technology in horology.
