Ressence Rocketed To The Vanguard Of Independent Watchmaking Thanks To Its Orbiting Display And Crown-Less Construction

In less than a decade, Ressence has proven itself to be unafraid to defy convention and subvert expectation. With a coveted design house and a penchant for innovation, Ressence has effectively reimagined how objects like mechanical timepieces can function. Led by Antwerp-based industrial designer Benoît Mintiens, all Ressence watches do away with the typical dial layout, and instead, the hours, minutes, and seconds are each given their own space within the dial. From the simplicity of the Type 8C to the intricacy of the Type 2, the dance of time on a Ressence dial is a sight to behold.

RESSENCE TYPE 1²

WHY WE LOVE IT

This watch, an evolution of Ressence’s first design, is an example of smart, creative design in modern watchmaking. It has all the character of the Type 1 but with new flourishes and a different, more squared-off profile. The brand’s signature display, aptly titled the Ressence Orbital Convex System, utilizes a series of nested discs and orbital gears so that the entire tile shifts to show the passage of time. There are no traditional hands to speak of.

RESSENCE TYPE 5B

WHY WE LOVE IT

The Type 5 divers from Ressence challenge traditional dive watch aesthetics, but Type 5's superior mechanical performance, ergonomics, lightness, and legibility give strong purpose to the retro-futuristic visage. With the Type 5B "Black", we are treated to a very light titanium case, 100 meters of water resistance, a stark black dial, and a black velcro strap, all of which comes together in a conversation piece that's also ready for real-world adventure.

RESSENCE TYPE 8C

WHY WE LOVE IT

Defying every notion of what a mechanical watch can look like, the Type 8 begins with a grade-5 titanium case that is polished and satinized to the highest standards. The integrated lugs make for a seamless connection between strap and watch head that emphasizes the sleek futurism on offer here, while the titanium's lightness on the wrist further emphasizes that quality with unique comfort. And we're excited that the Type 8 comes in at the lowest price for a Ressence yet.
