— November 27, 2024 — Luxury
The Ressence Type 8 Indigo timepiece is the latest creation from the avant-garde watch maker that's designed with the utmost attention to detail and style. The watch is characterized by its richly hued dial that's crafted out of Japanese indigo-dyed silk to give it a deep profile that's unlike any other styles on the market. The watch is powered by the brand's patented ROCS 8 movement that's positioned as an automatic ETA-base caliber to allow for the seconds sundial to rotate around the dial on the same plane as the minute hand.

The Ressence Type 8 Indigo timepiece is constructed with a grade 5 titanium case and paired with a warm gray saffiano calf leather strap. Limited to just eight examples, the watch is priced at CHF 25,000.
