TYPE 10

Shaped by evolution
SEAMLESS
DESIGNED TO GLIDE THROUGH TIME

TYPE 10 becomes one continuous object. Shaped by the question of what a mechanical watch would look like if it evolved following the laws of nature rather than those of engineering.

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHTER

TYPE 10 is the first oil-filled watch powered by the RW-04 in-house movement

RESSENCE WERK

At the heart of the TYPE 10 is the in-house designed RW-04 self-winding calibre. Configured specifically for this watch, the RW-04 consists of 252 components and offers a  60h power reserve through its two barrels

OIL-FILLED

VISUAL CLARITY


The mechanical movement beats in air. The ROCS glides through oil. 
Fluid lines and seamless finishing give TYPE 10 a distinctly future-forward form.
 An unmistakable shape made possible by the proprietary three-dimensional ROCS architecture.

ROCS 10

in oil

538 COMPONENTS

The ROCS 10 - 196 components in oil - is the animated dial of TYPE 10. The RW-04 movement drives the ROCS 10 through a magnetic transmission, transferring motion from air to oil without physical contact.

24 SEGMENTS
CARVED BY TIME AND THOUGHT

Particular attention went into the minute track. Its 24 titanium segments alternate between small, sandblasted inserts filled with luminous paint and larger, linearly brushed surfaces. The direction of the brushing shifts by 30 degrees from one segment to the next, so each catches the light differently.

"TYPE 10 should feel as if it is one seamless object. Almost as if you  took a piece of material and carved the watch out of it.”

Designer

MONOLITH
MONOCHROMATIC

On the wrist, TYPE 10 DN reads as a monochromatic monolith. Take away the physicality of the components to obtain a seamless volume. The boundaries between components visually dissolve. Case, dial and integrated strap share the same deep blue tone: Dark Night.

82 GRAMS

THE FUTURE IS LIGHTER

For all the mechanics inside it, TYPE 10 weighs just 82 grams with its 41,5mm polished Grade 5 titanium case. As objects evolve, parts integrate, construction becomes more efficient and unnecessary weight disappears.

SEAMLESNESS

TYPE 10 contains 538 components, including 196 in oil-filled ROCS 10 module. 49 gears, 47 jewels and 8 ball bearings serving  one purpose: seamlessness. The complexity remains inside.  Simplicity is what you experience.

INTERACTIVE TIME SIMULATOR

NO CROWN

CASEBACK SETTING

 

The RW-04 movement remains visible through the case back sapphire in a donut shape. The Ressence Compression Lock System provides 5 ATM water resistance.

Ready.
Night & Day.

Displaying time is essential to a watch. That’s why every Ressence is designed for easy readability, regardless of lighting conditions, thanks to the extra strong Super-LumiNova® filling the engraved indications.

QUIET PRESENCE ON THE WRIST

TYPE 10 was designed as a daily companion. Its organic shapes, light weight, ultra clear graphics and overall considered design make it easy to wear, easy to read and easy to forget. Until the moment you look at it.
