ENJOY LIFE – That’s the mantra artist Shantell Martin brings to the special edition Ressence TYPE 1², crafted for the TimeForArt 2024 auction. Martin is a British visual artist, philosopher, teacher, choreographer, songwriter, performer, and more, and is best known for her large-scale, black and white line drawings.

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.
