Ressence collaborates with Belgian artist Jules Wittock on a Type 9 art watch whose monochrome maze is integrated with the display itself. As the hours and minutes turn, the labyrinth's composition changes, with a hidden message revealed only at noon and midnight.

The Type 9 family uses a minimalist orbital indication for hours and minutes instead of conventional hands. At 39mm in diameter and around 39g for the standard architecture, it remains highly wearable. This September collaboration makes the changing nature of time part of the artwork.
