As a connoisseur of art and timepieces, I find myself utterly captivated by the harmonious blend of creativity and horology that Ressence has achieved with their collaboration with Shantell Martin for the TimeForArt auction. The unique fusion of visual storytelling and mechanical ingenuity is truly a spectacle to behold – a symphony of lines dancing across the watch face, transforming the ordinary into an extraordinary piece of wearable art.
In collaboration with Shantell Martin, a renowned British visual artist, Ressence is creating a distinctive timepiece for their forthcoming semi-annual TimeForArt auction.
On the surface of a TYPE 1 Square watch, Martin skillfully turns the plain white dial into an original work of art, as demonstrated in the video below. He meticulously draws the design by hand directly onto the item using a sleek black pen.
This exceptional timepiece, driven by the watch manufacturer’s exclusive ROCS 1.3 – Ressence’s Orbital Convex System, adheres to the standard characteristics of the TYPE 1 Squared model.
Ressence’s CEO, Benoît Mintiens, explains that instead of viewing the final product as merely a watch, we should consider it as a work of art worn on your wrist. It embodies an exceptional blend of visual storytelling and mechanical craftsmanship, transforming the ordinary act of checking time into a form of artistic expression,” says Benoît Mintiens.
Take a closer look at the timepiece in the gallery above. The Ressence x Shantell Martin TYPE 1 Square will be put up for auction at TimeForArt 2024 on December 7, 2024.
