ATL.91.83
Contrelle — ATL.91.83
Contrelle
Contrelle — ATL.91.83 is a ready-to-ship Dogma Atelier Series prototype exploring direction, interruption, and visual counter-rhythm through layered metal dial construction.
The name suggests contrast, resistance, and a quiet opposition to symmetry. Its dial is built from a laser-annealed stainless steel base and a black anodized aluminum top layer, forming a composition of vertical structure, depth, and controlled displacement. The result is a watch face that feels ordered but not static: graphic, architectural, and slightly off-center in spirit.
Rather than using decoration as surface treatment, Contrelle treats the dial as a constructed field. Light moves across the annealed steel beneath the black aluminum layer, creating a subtle tension between reflection and shadow. The striped composition gives the piece its rhythm, while the layered construction gives it depth.
ATL.91.83 is powered by a Miyota 9015 automatic movement and housed in a 40 mm 316L stainless steel case with a double-domed sapphire crystal. It is supplied on a 904L stainless steel bracelet and finished with Dogma Atelier documentation and packaging.
As part of the Dogma Atelier Series, Contrelle is not a standard production model. It is a finished studio prototype: hand-assembled, inspected, documented, and released in very limited quantity as part of Dogma’s early design development.
Dial & Concept
Contrelle is a study in counter-rhythm.
The dial uses repeated directional forms, but avoids becoming purely uniform. Its layered construction creates tension between the polished behavior of laser-annealed stainless steel and the restraint of black anodized aluminum.
From a distance, the piece reads as a minimal striped composition. Up close, the surface reveals shifts in reflectivity, depth, and material contrast. This dual reading is central to the watch: graphic at first glance, material and dimensional on closer inspection.
Atelier Series Note
Dogma Atelier pieces are finished studio prototypes, studies, and small-run objects created outside the regular production collection.
These watches explore ideas in color, material, typography, dial construction, finishing, and assembly. Some may inform future Dogma references; others exist as standalone experiments from the development process.
Each Atelier piece is inspected, documented, and offered with its own reference, serial details, and provenance. They are not mass-produced watches. They are design studies made wearable.

Product details
Overview
Dogma Atelier pieces are finished studio prototypes, studies, and small-run objects created outside the regular production collection.
These watches explore ideas in color, material, typography, dial construction, finishing, and assembly. Some may inform future Dogma references; others exist as standalone experiments from the development process.
Each Atelier piece is inspected, documented, and offered with its own reference, serial details, and provenance. They are not mass-produced watches. They are design studies made wearable.
For collectors, the Atelier Series offers direct access to the early creative and technical work behind Dogma.
Specifications
Specifications vary by Atelier reference and are listed individually on each product page.
Because Atelier pieces may use different movements, cases, dials, straps, finishing methods, and construction approaches, the specification table should be read as the source of record for each piece.
Atelier watches may include prototype, study, or small-batch components. This is part of the nature of the series. Each watch is checked before shipment and documented according to its own reference and serial designation.
Availability
Atelier pieces are released in very small quantities and are usually available as ready-to-ship items.
Some references may be one-of-one. Others may be part of a small study series with individually numbered examples. Once an Atelier piece is sold, it may not return in the same configuration.
Because these watches are created as studio prototypes or limited studies, availability is intentionally irregular. New pieces may appear as development work progresses.
Shipping & Delivery
Ready-to-ship Atelier pieces are typically prepared for shipment after final inspection and packaging.
Each watch is packed with its included straps, accessories, documentation, and presentation materials. Delivery timing may vary by destination and shipping service selected at checkout.
For international orders, customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or local charges may apply and are the responsibility of the buyer.
If a piece requires any additional inspection or preparation before shipment, Dogma will contact the buyer directly.
Warranty & Service
Dogma Atelier pieces are covered by a limited Atelier warranty, as listed on each product page.
The warranty covers movement function and assembly-related defects under normal use. Because Atelier pieces are prototypes, studies, or small-run studio objects, minor variation in printing, finishing, alignment, texture, or hand-applied details may be present and should be understood as part of the character of the piece.
The warranty does not cover impact damage, water exposure beyond the stated rating, scratches, strap wear, cosmetic wear from use, unauthorized service, improper handling, or accidental damage.
Service needs are reviewed case by case. When possible, Dogma will support repair, adjustment, or replacement of serviceable components. Some prototype-specific parts may not be replaceable in identical form.
