The Ressence x Shantell Martin TYPE 1 Square timepiece has been created in collaboration with the British visual artist as a decidedly intriguing accessory that incorporates hand-drawn finishing touches.
The watch features the TYPE 1 Square model as the canvas for Martin who transforms the white dial into a work of art with each one having a hand-drawn design completed with a black fine liner. The result is a completely unique timepiece that puts the artist’s work in the spotlight. The watch will be available through an auction at TimeForArt 2024 taking place on December 7, 2024.
CEO Benoît Mintiens spoke on the Ressence x Shantell Martin TYPE 1 Square timepiece saying, “We don’t see the final result as just a watch, but rather as a piece of art on your wrist. It’s a unique interaction between visual storytelling and mechanical ingenuity, where the simple act of telling time becomes an artistic expression.”
