Ressence TYPE 9 Grey: Minimalist elegance and watchmaking innovation

A new chapter for Ressence

The TYPE 9 Grey, unveiled in November 2024, embodies the perfect balance between refined design and technical innovation. For the first time, Ressence offers a watch with a reduced diameter of 39 mm, a major breakthrough in the brand’s universe. Designed to sublimate the finest wrists, this polished Grade 5 titanium watch offers incomparable comfort thanks to its featherweight of just 39 grams, including bracelet.

Harmony between tradition and modernity

The TYPE 9 Grey is distinguished by subtle watchmaking finishes: an engraved fixed bezel to indicate the minutes, flowing lugs and an elegant 20/18 mm bracelet. These elements reinterpret classic codes while integrating the revolutionary ROCS 9 (Ressence Orbital Convex System) display. Minimalist and audacious, the watch displays only the hours and minutes, highlighting a graphic dial of captivating simplicity.

A design conceived for the essential

True to the “Less is More” concept, TYPE 9 Grey focuses on the very essence of time. The hour numerals are limited to 3 and 9, in perfect symmetry with the watch’s streamlined design. The bezel, marking the minutes in intervals of five, reinforces the intuitiveness and legibility of this timeless timepiece.

An elegant, functional companion

The crownless titanium case enhances visual fluidity and comfort. Inspired by the gentleness of the waves, this creation combines strength and lightness, integrating naturally into everyday life. The TYPE 9 Grey becomes more than a watch: a discreet, sophisticated partner designed to accompany every moment.

Worldwide availability

Available from November 2024 in the exclusive Ressence retail network, the TYPE 9 Grey embodies assertive minimalism and timeless elegance. Entirely produced in Switzerland, it is aimed at watch lovers who seek refined simplicity and subtle innovation.

With the TYPE 9 Grey, Ressence opens up a new horizon in contemporary watchmaking, combining tradition, modernity and design that transcends trends.
