The Mesmerizing Black DLC Ressence Type 9 Ikeda
The Ressence Type 9 Ikeda is a limited-edition watch featuring an artistic dial decorated by Japanese artist Terumasa Ikeda, known for his intricate use of laser-cut mother-of-pearl and traditional urushi lacquer. The watch, part of Ressence's Art Watch Series, showcases a colorful design that is both mesmerizing and complex, making it distinct from previous models. With a Grade 5 titanium case coated in black DLC and a glossy finish, this timepiece emphasizes its vibrant dial, which includes Arabic numerals and the Ressence logo, also made of mother-of-pearl. Equipped with the patented Ressence Orbital Convex System (ROCS) 9 movement, the Type 9 Ikeda runs on a customized automatic ETA 2982-2 and features a 36-hour power reserve. Despite its luxurious appeal, the watch is priced at CHF 32,000 (approximately US$41,500) and is already sold out, highlighting its desirability among collectors. The design combines functionality with beauty, making it a captivating addition to any watch enthusiast's collection.
