Ressence dropped the NEW Type 9 S75 – Limited Edition for Ahmed Seddiqi

A Tribute to the Emirates: Time Measured in Sand

Ressence presents the Type 9 S75, a remarkable limited edition of just 20 pieces, created exclusively for esteemed Middle Eastern retailer Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons. This unique collaboration brings together horological innovation and cultural heritage in a profound and tactile way.

The dial is filled with authentic sand sourced in equal proportions from the deserts of all seven Emirates of the U.A.E.. More than an aesthetic feature, this integration of natural material captures the essence of the region—transforming the watch into a kinetic sculpture that connects time with the timeless landscape of the desert.

“This limited edition not only reflects our deep cultural roots but also symbolises the partnership between Ahmed Seddiqi and Ressence, blending tradition with cutting-edge horological craftsmanship,”
— Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, CEO of Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons
