A quick introduction to the Ressence Type 7, the latest oil-filled Ressence timepiece. Belgium. Home of Ressence. It's very much like Switzerland in some ways. They speak French in Belgium - like they do in most of the watch manufacturing areas of Switzer...  

Really appreciate the detailed introduction! Cheers, Filip

The price is high. But justifiable in my eyes. Every brand costs more than I want to spend, but if you take other brands and you apply the multiplier effect, this watch is within the right range compared to other high end brands on the market. It can even...

I don’t respond to this brand, but I understand that it’s just my taste and that there are many reasons to love these watches and this new iteration too. When I attended W&W two years ago I went to their boot and even talked a few minutes with Benoît ... 

I can't say I like every Ressence myself. The Type 2 was totally lost on me. But, on a positive note, I really like the Types 8 and 1 (both versions of the 1). And I like Mintiens a lot! What a wonderful fella with the right amount of enthusiasm and passi...
