Catalogue Essay
- Since its creation in 2010, Ressence has continuously surprised collectors with its novel time-telling indication - in a way, the brand has modified our perception of the way time should be read.
-The Type 3 model, like the present example, ups the ante at Ressence with a new system using oil as to do away with the refraction of light giving the impression that the hands are literally floating in mid-air! This impressive result is obtained by the fact that the top half of the watch- between dial and crystal- is filled with oil.
- The watch furthermore features a magnetic transmission to connect the dry lower half - where the calibre is located - to the oil-filled upper half, as well as seven bellows to compensate for oil volume changes due to temperature variations.
- Preserved in excellent overall condition, the present Ressence Type 3 is an outstanding and whimsical piece of horological ingenuity.
