RESSENCE TYPE 3 Marc Newson
In collaboration with acclaimed designer Marc Newson, Belgium based luxury watchmaker RESSENCE presents a special edition of the TYPE 3 model. The TYPE 3 MN is the fusion of Marc Newson’s pioneering approach to industrial design and Ressence founder Benoît Mintiens’ innovative vision for time display.
With its ergonomic elliptical silhouette, the TYPE 3 MN features a domed sapphire crystal and minimal hands which appear suspended in an oil-filled chamber.
This organic design combines Marc Newson’s signature style with Benoît Mintiens’ revolutionary oilfilled technology, powered by Ressence’s patented ROCS (Ressence Orbital Convex System), the proprietary display mechanism behind every Ressence watch.
The watch features an ergonomic, elliptical silhouette—a form Newson has refined over decades of work. Bold, minimal hands playfully nod to Newson’s iconic Ikepod watch designs of the 1990s. The colour palette draws on subtle yet striking hues of celadon green, grey, black, and vibrant yellow, delivering visual clarity while preserving the watch’s elegance.
The dial itself features Grade 5 titanium discs with four eccentric biaxial satellites inclined at varying degrees, including a runner disc. Engraved indications are filled with blue and green Grade A Super- LumiNova®, ensuring legibility in all lighting conditions.
At the heart of the TYPE 3 MN lies Ressence’s patented ROCS 3 system—a mechanism featuring magnetically driven rotating discs that deliver a unique visual experience.
The upper chamber is flooded with 4.15 ml of silicone oil, cancelling out the distortion caused by light refraction and ensuring exceptional readability from any angle. This creates a magnified projection effect that gives the illusion of information displayed directly on the glass, with time appearing to float beneath your fingertips. The domed sapphire crystal enhances this suspended time-telling experience.
Limited to 80 pieces, TYPE 3 MN is available from December 4th 2025 via Ressence’s eshop and select retailers worldwide. Price: CHF 46,000 (excluding taxes).
