Maze with a Message. Ressence and Belgian artist Jules Wittock bring a hand-drawn labyrinth to the TYPE 9 transforming timekeeping into a shifting work of art.

Known for drawing mazes freehand, Wittock designed a miniature labyrinth with one entrance, one exit, and a path that spells a hidden word. The dials align at midnight and midday, allowing wearers to solve it. The message remains a secret between the artist and owners.

The 0.2-millimetre-wide paths are milled into Grade 5 titanium and filled by hand with white paint. The T9 JWE’s Emerald Green ALD-coated dial shifts to purple with the viewing angle, the T9 JWB pairs a black dial with a black-coated case. Both come on leather straps.

Ressence’s patented Orbital Convex System (ROCS) keeps the dials—and Wittock’s maze—in continuous motion. “A Ressence adds a fourth dimension to the canvas: time,” says founder Benoît Mintiens. “The artwork keeps changing. It appears differently with every glance.”

For Wittock, drawing labyrinths is a way to find clarity in complexity and stay present. That instinct connects his work with Ressence’s minimalist approach: both remove distractions to create objects that reward attention over time.

The TYPE 9 displays hours and minutes through ROCS. With a diameter of 39 mm, Ressence has created a watch that is perfectly suited to slim wrists, weighing just 39 grams, including the strap. Combined with the absence of a crown and the lightweight Grade 5 titanium case, Ressence embraces a ‘Less is More’ approach.
