Ressence Type 9 Aqua

Building on the minimalism of the TYPE 8, the TYPE 9 is smaller and sleeker, featuring the ROCS 9 module in a polished titanium case. For the first time, the Minute indicator is engraved on a fixed bezel, giving the watch a more compact and balanced look. Subtle touches like circled finishes and classically inspired lugs add timeless elegance.

Perfect for smaller wrists, the TYPE 9 is both comfortable and distinct. Benoît Mintiens, founder of Ressence, calls it “a modern fit for every wrist. From a distance, it looks classical, but up close, it’s much more sophisticated.” It’s a watch that moves with you, almost like a dance partner.

The TYPE 9 Grey will launch in November 2024 through official retailers, with the Aqua following in February 2025.

At just 39mm and 39 grams (including the strap), the lightweight titanium case and crownless design make it as practical as it is elegant. The two colors bring unique character: the Grey is understated, while the Aqua feels vibrant and fresh. Both are effortlessly stylish, making the TYPE 9 more than just a watch—it’s a companion that grows with you.

Staying true to Ressence’s “Less is More” philosophy, the TYPE 9 simplifies timekeeping with only hours and minutes, featuring bold yet minimal design elements like the Hour disc’s pared-down numbers and a bezel marking every 5 minutes.

The TYPE 9 reflects Ressence’s commitment to meaningful design, creating a watch meant to be worn, enjoyed, and cherished.
