Four watches. A single asymmetric brief.
Dennison and Collectability returned to collaboration after last year’s limited ALD pieces. Emmanuel Gueit handled design. John Reardon — noted for his Patek expertise — helped shape the concept. The result is the Oblique collection: four limited‑edition watches that push an intentionally off‑axis dial language.
Two dial treatments already clear
One variant, the Oblique Enigma, uses a stepped dial treatment. That stepped look explicitly echoes the ALD editions from last year. Another, the Oblique Vector, opts for a sunburst finish that the team has enhanced with subtle printed details to emphasize the oblique geometry.
The collection is centred on asymmetric composition rather than a single decorative trick. Small shifts in dial height, print, and finishing read differently depending on light and angle. That’s the point: the design plays with visual balance instead of symmetry.
Context and who this will speak to
These are limited‑edition pieces issued through Collectability in partnership with Dennison. With Reardon involved, the watches are targeted squarely at collectors who appreciate boutique collaborations and design-forward reinterpretations of classic forms. The stepped dial link to last year’s ALD run creates a clear throughline for buyers tracking the partnership.
If you liked the ALD editions, prioritise the Enigma for continuity of the stepped motif; if you prefer dial texture and light play, the Vector’s sunburst and printed detail will be the one to inspect hands‑on. Keep an eye on announced movement, case dimensions and pricing — those facts will determine whether these are style statements or genuine value plays for collectors.
Will Dennison and Collectability extend this oblique language into broader releases or keep it as a tight limited run? That will decide whether this is a one‑off design experiment or the start of a recognizable sub‑collection worth following.
