I totally dig this watch!
It's got a unique time display, which is one of the features I adore in a watch. Also, I think the use of the tried and true ETA 2824 is smart. Like you wrote, nobody will see the movement and it will easily be serviced years from now. This mitigates much of the risk in buying independent. I look forward to seeing future watches from Ressence.
Thanks for the review, Dje!
Cheers,

Ressence or the essence of a true independant and unique watch without show off!
Watch shows don't always let much time to have an extensive look an all things exposed and I saw a watch at Baselworld 2010 that let me a deep impression even if I had seen it only a few seconds, but some regrets not having seen it more. So I was very ple...
I like this combination of dial and strap
and the unique display is appealing too. It would be a great addition to someone like Graham or myself with wacky watches (regulators, one-handers, backwards dials, etc) but I don't know if it would catch on in general Perhaps with watches, like the qwert...
love it
my only concern is that the crown looks a bit big to me but the concept, great! Is it possible to buy it yet? I see no dealers or prices on the website. Thanks for the review! Best Andreas
Let me add a movie Jérôme.
To make understand how the time display works, I shot it at Basel: I have followed Benoît since the first release of the watch. I really like it a lot and was really impressed by the improvements brought in the last version when compared with the previous...
I NEED ONE!
How fantastic! Fell in love with it!!! www.youtube.com One of the "livest" mechanical watches I've ever seen, not to mention the outstanding design.
Coincidence!
I just opened a holiday card and small present from the US distributor of Ressence and checked out the same watch and similarly intrigued by it (I just bought a pair of Tourbillon Cufflinks while ago). Thanks for the report. This is indeed an interesting ...
I'll PM you
My AD in Brussels sells these watches, it's Degreef http://www.degreef1848.be/pages/1_3-Homepage.html I don't want too make too much publicity but I wouldn't recommend any other AD ;-)

This is about to become a "Discus Burger" fad; anyone still have theirs?
alas it is much more expensive than the Sony of four years ago! How many still have that watch? I don't. Cazalea ( still have this glass though, and the MIH )...
Like it!
Hi All, I've been intrigued by the Ressence for a while now. I've got their iPhone app and all. Super cool to watch this watch. I must admit that I'm not in love with the shape of the crown, but I think I understand its purpose. What's primarily holding m...
you've got rid of yours Mike, you traitor to the cause :)
i still have mine although i dont wear it very often. i've kept mine on the black steel mesh bracelet i put on it fairly early on. best for 2012 Graham
but Jerome, it is also...
but Jerome, it is also 20 x the price of the Seiko which makes a huge difference. it doesnt affect how much i like it, but it affects my purchasing ability. best G

The Ressence is indeed an amazing watch with incredible looks. There also is a titanium version, which is really cool IMHO. Love the details of the watch. GEO...

ah cazalea, you know me too well :)
i cant remember when, but big daddy told me about this watch some months ago after he saw it on a blog. i love the whole thing. nice size, but not too big, understated yet clever in its display, bomb proof movement that anyone can work on and several diff...
appearance of the back varies; can anyone explain the idea?I
I see a screw in the middle a bit like the B&R "Do Not Remove" screw and in some shots I saw Torx or star-head screws going into beveled depressions in the back of the case. Can anyone explain if this was prototype or production? Most of the images appear...
Back was changed.
Before the saphire was screwed: now it is put on a sort of frame. Two reasons: to improve the waterproof quality to improve the production process The saphire part was quite often damaged before when it was screwed. Fx This message has been edited by Dje ...
Loved it!
Good writeup. This is a very different watch interpretation and I really like it.
