Held Back. Set Free.
Today: Essence Ceramica Dark Matter

Throughout the year, we keep a small number of watches in reserve to ensure we're never overselling our limited drops. With stock across much of the collection now running low following a strong few weeks, we're making some of these pieces available over the coming days.

Up next is the Essence Ceramica Dark Matter. To complement the black ceramic case and bracelet, the meteorite dial receives a dark-nickel treatment that transforms its usual silver appearance into deep graphite tones while enhancing its natural patterns.

Less than a handful of pieces are available, so this one's for the quick deciders.

Almost there. The Essence 39 Space Gold has been our bestselling watch since its introduction. By applying real 18k rose gold to genuine Muonionalusta meteorite, we created a dial unlike anything else in our collection—one that has since become a collector-favorite.

Less than a handful of pieces are available, so this one's for the quick deciders.

Today's release is the Leggera 41 Space Glacier. Starting with a genuine meteorite dial, we apply a bright layer of 98% pure silver before building up six hand-applied layers of transparent blue-tinted lacquer, giving each piece its distinctive icy appearance.

Less than a handful of pieces are available, so this one's for the quick deciders.

Inside the exclusive NYC launch - Aria Unveiled

Last week, we unveiled the Aria Manufacture Chronometer at the Time+Tide Discovery Studio in New York. As our first manufacture movement and a watch years in the making, it was a moment we had been looking forward to for a long time, and we're grateful we got to share it with you.

The excitement has continued well beyond launch night. The Founders Edition has sold out through our Online Boutique, and we are humbled by the trust so many of you have placed in this new chapter for Formex. A limited number of pieces may still be available through select retail partners.

If you'd like to relive the evening, we've put together a short recap video from launch night, and you can also rewatch the live stream, which was joined by more than 800 watch enthusiasts from around the world! If you haven't already, be sure to check out some of the first hands-on reviews of the Aria from:

Aria Manufacture Chronometer - FAQ with Raphael Granito

Does a Manufacture movement mean that there is a new strategy for the existing collection?
"Not at all. When it comes to pricing and performance, movements like the SW 200 from Sellita allow us to create accessible watches that are as reliable and rugged as one could hope for. But, again, our creative process automatically makes us want to shake up things from time to time."

First the Stratos UTC, then the full ceramic Essence, and now the Aria: is Formex going upscale?

"When we create a new model, we don’t think in price categories. We always start from a blank sheet. In the end, the price becomes a function of what we need to build and maintain a healthy, sustainable business around that product. The motivation behind everything is the passion to create amazing products, and to push the innovation and design envelopes while doing so.
The Stratos UTC, the full ceramic Essence, and now the Aria all came from that same process. We look for things that haven't been done yet, and we try to execute them as well as we possibly can. A full ceramic case and bracelet with fine adjustment, and now a high-performance micro-rotor movement in an ultra-thin dress watch reimagined our way, these are not easy things to bring to market, and we are proud of what our team has achieved.
We are beyond grateful to the customers who have trusted our creativity and ex*****on from the beginning, and who have walked with us and allowed us to get to where we are today. That trust means everything to us, and we'll always provide amazing new launches in the price range we came to be known for."

Aria Manufacture Chronometer

"Every component of the Aria brought its own challenge: The dial design presented its own myriad of challenges due to its natural shape and 3D aspect within a very slim watch. The case design, with its very hard-to-finish convex lugs (that were very difficult to integrate with the bracelet), posed huge challenges for the design and manufacturing processes. The bracelet consists of very slim links, all with a very slight curve to them that reflect the light. Challenges related to the movement, thankfully, were masterfully worked out by the team at Horage, and the architecture and specs are already very well tested and proven. The design process for the decoration, however, took quite some time, requiring a lot of laser texturing to get the surfaces just right. We made many prototypes along the way and took our time over the past 2.5 years to get every component of this model exactly the way we wanted it, without having to make compromises that we couldn’t stand behind. The fact that the initial launch date was October 2025 shows you how much extra time we took to get all the details just the way we wanted them."

Aria Manufacture Chronometer - A Polyphony in Watch Design

The dial tells its own story: Stamped from a single piece of brass, lacquered and finished with a matte surface, the passage of time is turned into a sculptural landscape, not unlike a rock-cut basin: each beveled index sits on a slightly raised platform, the surrounding dropping away in a gentle concave curve which creates a sense of depth, despite the overall thinness of the watch. Every index breaks the curvature of the dial with a subtle, radial line. The subdial for the small second is located at 6 o'clock, the Formex logo is embedded across at the 12 o'clock position. To further increase contrast and legibility, the bevels of the hands and indexes are polished, the surfaces brushed.

The three dial options each bring their own character to this architecture: Selva Green carries the warmth of a forest floor — deep, organic, alive with amber undertones from the luminous indices. Ardesia Grey is cooler and more architectural, the color of mountain slate after rain. And Denso Blue hovers between storm and stillness — a dense, matte navy that absorbs light rather than reflecting it, creating a contrast to the color of the luminous material and surface finishes of the rose gold-colored hands and applied indices.
