GOOD TO KNOW
• Number 18 of a limited edition of 20 pieces made for Hodinkee
• Original owner and fresh-to-market
- Ressence and online watch publication Hodinkee teamed up for the first time in 2017 to create a limited edition timepiece that would encompass the avant-garde ethos of the brand while bringing into consideration the style cues of Hodinkee.
- All twenty pieces sold out rapidly online, and according to our research, this is the first example to appear at public auction.
- With a semi-skeletonized dial made of sandblasted German silver and coated in nickel, it was a striking and masculine play on the orbital time display Ressence is known for.
- The stainless steel case was a departure for Ressence, who had typically cased their watches in titanium at this point.
- Coming from the original owner, an early supporter of Hodinkee’s limited edition timepieces, the present watch is complete with the original guarantee and presentation box.
