A concept essential to Ressence is dematerialisation. Take away the physicality of the components to obtain a seamless volume. The boundaries between components visually dissolve. On the wrist, TYPE 10 DN reads as a monochromatic monolith. TYPE 10 Dark Night becomes one continuous object, shaped by the question of what form a watch might naturally evolve towards if it were sculpted by nature.

“It should feel as if it is one seamless object,” says Mintiens. “Almost as if you took a piece of material and carved the watch out of it.”

Case, dial and integrated rubber strap share the same deep blue tone: Dark Night. The polished Grade 5 titanium case has a hard DLC coating, while the sapphire blends into the shape of the case thanks to the oil-filled dial. Oil visually brings the dial towards the upper surface of the crystal. Ressence’s rotating discs (ROCS) replace conventional hands. Oil pushes the effect further, visually removing the separations between the discs. Hours, minutes, a second time zone and runner appear across one continuous graphical surface.
The TYPE10 DN offers a remarkable combination of shape, finish, colour and clarity. The high definition in all its details and finishing generate a futuristic feel.
