Four-watch Oblique Collection: Dennison x Collectability’s Asymmetric Series by Emmanuel Gueit
Four watches: Dennison and Collectability have launched the limited-edition Oblique Collection, a fresh asymmetric series co-designed by Emmanuel Gueit and John Reardon. The Oblique Enigma uses a stepped dial similar to last year’s ALD editions; the Oblique Vector trades that for a sunburst dial with subtle printing.

Four.
Dennison and Collectability have returned after last year’s ALD limited runs with a new, four-piece Oblique Collection. Emmanuel Gueit is the designer; Patek Philippe specialist John Reardon is the collaborator. The unifying move is an intentionally asymmetric design language across the series.
What the dials do
The Oblique Enigma revives the stepped-dial treatment fans noticed on the ALD pieces from last year. It’s a clear visual link to the prior release, but shifted into a deliberately off-kilter layout.
The Oblique Vector takes a different tack: a sunburst finish as its base, then restrained, subtle printing layered on top. That contrast — industrial sunburst against careful typography — is the collection’s second formal strategy.
How this fits the partnership
Gueit and Reardon aren’t repeating the ALD formula wholesale. Instead they extract motifs — depth from stepped dials, radiance from sunburst surfaces — and recompose them around asymmetry. The project reads like a focused design exercise rather than a broad line expansion.
Only two model names appear in the release: Oblique Enigma and Oblique Vector. The collection totals four watches; two additional pieces complete the set but weren’t detailed in the material provided.
What to watch for
If you followed the ALD limited editions, treat the Oblique Collection as the logical next move: same collaborators, clearer design intent, a smaller set of visual permutations. For buyers: compare dial treatment and finishing against last year’s pieces before deciding — the Oblique series is about composition rather than technical novelty. Will collectors value the asymmetry as much as the stepped-dial lineage? That’s the practical question to answer at release.
