Official description

ENJOY LIFE – That’s the mantra artist Shantell Martin brings to the special edition Ressence TYPE 1², crafted for the TimeForArt 2024 auction.

Such a collaboration creates a unique interaction between visual storytelling and mechanical ingenuity. Featuring a white dial and only black hands, carved into Ressence’s signature flush rotating discs, the watch serves as the perfect blank canvas for Martin’s celebrated black-on-white drawings.

With just two words — enjoy life — this piece invites the wearer to experience simplicity and spontaneity, echoing the free-flowing nature of Shantell’s line. 

This line moves like time — continuous, alive, and always in motion. It serves as a reminder that both life and time are meant to be enjoyed, not controlled, and that the journey, not just the destination, is to be embraced.

Estimate: $20,000 - $40,000
