Ressence Type 3
The inventive genius of Ressence designer Benoit Mintiens is apparent in this new Type 3 model. He has taken his `’hand-less“ rotating clear disc vision of time telling and added day and date indicators to the mix. And, the sharp-eyed among you will notice he has eliminated the crown–all adjustments are made magnetically via the case back–and the top dome of the watch is submerged in a clear, low-vicosity oil. Amazing. www.ressence.eu
