Ressence Collaborates with Artist Daniel Engelberg

Introducing the Limited Edition Type 8 DE1 and DE2

Ressence merges cutting-edge horology with contemporary art in the Type 8 Daniel Engelberg series. Limited to just 40 pieces each, the Type 8 DE1 and DE2 offer collectors a dynamic fusion of design and function.

A Bold Artistic Vision Comes to Life

Inspired by German artist Daniel Engelberg’s “Inside Out” series, these watches bring art to the wrist with signature Ressence innovation. The DE1 features a radiant pink color palette, while the DE2 makes a bold statement in turquoise. Engelberg’s trademark concentric circles and optical depth give each dial a sculptural, hypnotic quality.

Lightweight Titanium Case for Everyday Elegance

Ressence constructs each case from Grade 5 polished titanium, ensuring both durability and lightness. The 42.9mm diameter and 11mm thickness provide a sleek, ergonomic feel. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating enhances clarity, while 10 meters of water resistance offers everyday practicality.

Crownless Setting with a Twist

Setting and winding this watch is uniquely intuitive. The rotating caseback allows users to wind the watch manually and adjust time through two directional settings—no crown needed. This design preserves the clean, modern lines Ressence is known for.

Advanced Mechanics: The ROCS 8 System

Inside, Ressence powers the watch with its proprietary ROCS 8 (Ressence Orbital Convex System). This in-house module uses the minute axle of a customized automatic movement to rotate time indicators.
