Hermès Slim D’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel Platine Watch

For 2017, French high fashion and luxury goods manufacturer Hermès introduces a platinum version of its perpetual calendar watch, the Hermès Slim D’Hermès Quantième Perpétuel Platine. The brand released an earlier rose gold model, so while we are not talking about an outright novelty, it is a chance to discuss a watch we have not covered before. It also, once again, inevitably raises the always lively debate regarding fashion brands’ legitimacy as watchmakers.

Press Release – RESSENCE TYPE 1 “Squared”

Ressence Type 1 Squared Watch

Ressence is beginning 2017 with a bang by announcing its first dress watch, the Ressence Type 1 Squared. Here is a quick first look at the watch.

SIHH 2017 – Ressence Type 1 “Squared”, the new Cushion-Shaped Version of The Minimalistic Watch

With Ressence, everything started with a style, a shape and a perception of the watch that were rather different from the traditional codes of watchmaking. Very round, almost void of case, smooth, without crown, almost entirely focused on the dial and the display, this concept used on the Type 1, and even emphasized on the Type 3, was the hallmark of the brand. Then came the Type 5, a dive watch which combined the Orbital Convex display with what was a proper materialized case. Today, Ressence comes with its fourth watch, the Type 1² (or Type 1 “Squared”), less dematerialized and more horological than before, in an assertive cushion-shaped case.

Slated to be launched at SIHH 2017 next week, the Type 12 “Squared” is based on the original Type 1, the […]

Introducing: The Ressence Type 1 Squared, A Dressier Take On The Orbital Time Display (And The Thinnest Ressence Yet)

There are few watches that get devotees as excited as do those from Ressence. The orbital time-telling system is distinctive and the modern styling eye-catching, not to mention the mechanical problems that had to be solved to create watches like the Type 1, Type 3, and Type 5. Next week at SIHH, Ressence is presenting the Type 1 Squared, a dressier iteration on the Type 1 with some new innovations and slightly more traditional styling. Here’s a first look.

I’m a sucker for G-Shock watches in cool colors, and oddly enough, gold tones happen to look pretty neat on Japan’s original tech watch. Today, Casio launched three “vintage rose gold theme” versions of its popular Casio G-Shock Master of G collection models.
