In his Munich studio, the artist mills each piece from a sheet of wood, then builds it up layer by layer with acrylic paint, forming concentric circles in gradient tones that radiate from a deep black core. Finally, he seals the entire sculpture under a glossy coat of epoxy resin. The result is a hands-on, meticulously crafted piece that creates an illusion of depth and a satisfying visual rhythm. This architectural sense of space, paired with joyful color, finds new life on the TYPE 8\u2019s watch face, turning timekeeping into a visual experience.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/?attachment_id=584479\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-584479 nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-584479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/daniel-engelberg-ressence-type-8-de-watches-4-810x1215.jpg\" alt=\"A hand wearing a light blue wristwatch is placed through a circular cutout in a wall divided into mint green and teal blue halves\" width=\"810\" height=\"1215\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">TYPE 8 DE2<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/?attachment_id=584487\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-584487 nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-584487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/daniel-engelberg-ressence-type-8-de-watches-12-810x1080.jpg\" alt=\"A modern wristwatch with a blue and red circular dial and a light pink strap, placed on a geometric pink background\" width=\"810\" height=\"1080\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">TYPE 8 DE1<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/?attachment_id=584493\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-584493 nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-584493 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/daniel-engelberg-ressence-type-8-de-watches-18-810x480.jpg\" alt=\"A modern wristwatch with a blue, circular, futuristic dial and a light green strap is displayed against a blue gradient background \" width=\"810\" height=\"480\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">TYPE 8 DE2<\/p>\n<p>Translating Engelberg\u2019s meticulous, wood-and-resin creations to the confines of a 42.9 mm dial required Ressence to rethink scale without losing any of the depth or vibrancy that defines his work. Working from the Inside Out series, the Belgian watchmaker adapted each concentric form into laser-engraved discs of Grade 5 titanium, preserving the subtle gradients and crisp geometry while reducing them to fractions of a millimeter. On the watch face, Engelberg\u2019s signature geometry is further accented by crisp white markings \u2013 a new element that adds contrast, enhances time legibility, and introduces a fresh layer of visual rhythm. Powered by Ressence\u2019s patented Orbital Convex System (ROCS), which allows the two dials to orbit one another, Engelberg\u2019s canvases become kinetic art. \u201cFor the first time, my work is animated \u2013 truly alive,\u201d reflects Engelberg.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/?attachment_id=584486\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-584486 nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-584486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/daniel-engelberg-ressence-type-8-de-watches-11-810x1080.jpg\" alt=\"A wristwatch with a blue face, pink bezel, and light pink strap is propped against a light mint green cylindrical object on a blue background\" width=\"810\" height=\"1080\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">TYPE 8 DE1<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/?attachment_id=584489\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-584489 nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-584489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/daniel-engelberg-ressence-type-8-de-watches-14-810x1080.jpg\" alt=\"A modern wristwatch with a blue and red face and a light pink strap is displayed upright against pink geometric shapes on a blue background\" width=\"810\" height=\"1080\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">TYPE 8 DE1<\/p>\n<p>Each watch features rubber straps that match its dial color \u2013 pink for DE1 and turquoise for DE2 \u2013 with a leather option available for more formal occasions. The collaboration marks another chapter in Ressence\u2019s history of partnering with independent artists, including Shantell Martin, Stefan Sagmeister, and Alain Silberstein.
