Handwoven Indigo-Dyed Timepieces

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Ressence Introduces the Dynamic Type 8 Watch Design

— November 28, 2024 — Art & Design
Ressence introduces a look at the new Type 8 model to its roster, which is a luxe timepiece that is complete with an indigo treatment. The titanium case is made with grade 5 levels and measures 42.9mm which was first launched in 2022. It is the lightest model from the brand as it only measures 11mm in thickness. The timepiece is set by turning back the case that powers the solitary rotating minute hand whilst the smaller subdial showcases the hours.

Both orbits are on the same plate while the Super-LumiNova glows in blue and is filled with engraved indications so that it is clear during compromised light conditions. The Type 8 model Indigo has the same look with "handmade métiers d’art dial woven with indigo-dyed silk thread measuring 2.5 meters in length and only 0.20 mm in diameter and the cutouts around the edges to lock in the thread."
