Formex continues to innovate with the Dark Matter dial, the latest evolution of its Essence Ceramica collection. Following the 2026 launch of the full-ceramic Essence Ceramica Skeleton, featuring the world’s first micro-adjustable ceramic clasp and architectural dial, the collection expanded with four signature full dials and a new movement partnership with Soprod. Dark Matter introduces a specialty dial to ceramic for the first time, darkening meteorite while preserving its Widmanstätten pattern and metallic brilliance. Achieved through dark-nickel electroplating at Formex’s Cadranor manufacture in the Swiss Jura, it unites celestial material with modern ceramic architecture, creating a striking and enigmatic timepiece.
