It’s hard to imagine twelve years have passed already since we were amazed by the revolutionary (pun intended) orbital display of time by Ressence. It was extremely unusual and original when it was first presented, and it remains that way to this day. The concept uses a clever system of gears and ball bearings to […]
I first encountered the term “minimalist” at the tender age of 10, trying to figure out why anyone would enjoy staring at a wonky, red square on a white canvas at the opening night of Zagreb’s Museum of Contemporary Art. Still, I found myself strangely drawn to the painting. It seemed like art critics of … Continued

Celebrating ten years of life, today Ressence presents the fourth and final piece in its Collection X. Challenging the traditional concept of displaying time with hands, Ressence has created a new visual language for telling the time.

Celebrating ten years of genuinely innovative watchmaking, Ressence revisits its oil-filled Type 3 watch and delivers a message of hope in these days of gloom and doom provoked by the pandemic.

If you know your watchmaking, the name Ressence should be familiar to you and should immediately bring to mind concepts such as minimalist design, super-cool displays and mechanical innovation. The latest creation of the brand is that, and more. Today, as part of our video reviews, we’ll look at a very special watch, a unique […]
Ressence really is in a class of its own on the watchmaking scene (even on the creative indie scene). Born in 2010, the brand redefined the way a mechanical watch functions, to the point of creating an unprecedented display and an electronic crown. For its 10th anniversary, Ressence has already unveiled several special edition watches, […]
Ten years ago, a brand that would soon become one of the most respected yet unusual members of the independent watchmaking scene was launched… in Belgium (that’s already something). From the early days, Ressence made things its own way, mostly relying on innovation and modernity, and one important feature, the ROCS display module. Where most […]

For the first time ever, watch lovers will have the chance to create their own interpretation of one of Ressence’s latest models, the Type 1 Slim. And the winning design will make […]
Ressence is a unique company… Half watchmaker, half 2.0 avant-garde designer, the brand is known for its bold and innovative timepieces – think Type 2 e-Crown – that combine a sleek design with a signature display of the time. Even if “challenging the status quo of mechanical watchmaking” is the philosophy of the brand, its […]
We all love a good old dive watch… There’s something rather inexplicable about dive watches, as it is clear that most of us never use them as they really were designed to perform (except the occasional jump in the pool). Still, they are attractive. However, there’s one issue with this category of timepieces. Most of them look […]
