"One of the biggest names in industrial design, Australian talent Marc Newson is best known for his smooth lines, amoebic silhouettes, and a long-standing aversion to sharp edges. Iconic works such as the 1988 Lockheed Lounge chair - crafted from riveted aluminum using techniques borrowed from aircraft manufacturing - signaled the beginning of an era. The fluid, tech-forward restraint of the 1990s emerged as a counterpoint to bombastic Postmodernism, embracing material experimentation and unconventional form without excess."
"At its core, the TYPE 3 MN showcases Ressence's proprietary co-planar surface with mechanical display module, the patented Ressence Orbital Convex System (ROCS 3). Beneath a domed sapphire crystal, the dial appears to float within a sealed chamber filled with 4.15 ml of silicone oil - an ingenious solution that cancels light refraction, eliminates glare, and creates a magnified, almost holographic effect."
Marc Newson established a signature of smooth lines, amoebic silhouettes, and avoidance of sharp edges, exemplified by the 1988 Lockheed Lounge chair made from riveted aluminum. The TYPE 3 MN combines Newson's organic, ergonomic forms with Ressence's co‑planar mechanical display and the patented ROCS 3 system. A domed sapphire crystal seals a chamber containing 4.15 ml of silicone oil to cancel refraction and eliminate glare, producing a magnified, holographic appearance. Time is read via three rotating discs for hours, minutes, and a 180‑second runner, accented by bold yellow markings and restrained tones for a quietly sporty aesthetic.
