    The fact it's mechanical is just wow, I can't find words to how crazy this is. No one outside of those who know and have been told how it works would believe it's an oldschool watch. It looks 100% like some smartwatch, but nicer xd. Fantastic.

      I really like the design and the uniqueness but honestly 40k for an ETA based watch regardless of how much it’s modified is simply too much. Also I doubt this could be serviced outside of Ressence itself. I don’t want to be dependent only on the manufacturer.

    If ever there was a piece that would be a conversation starter this is it. The fact that it has no 'bling' is a huge plus for me. It may well be beyond what I'd even consider paying I can really appreciate the engineering and design elements that have gone into it. Being oil filled would also make it super legible (if you understand how to read the time on the piece) compared to the let's say regular designs. If money was really no object I might just take a look. Many thanks for sharing.

  • @MrAumbra
    @MrAumbra 2 года назад +61

    Design is beautiful, engineering is exceptionally impressive and functionality seems useful. That said, I don’t think I would allocate $40K towards adding this piece over others that offer more complication, traditional design aesthetic and better wearability. I do like it but it would only be added to the collection after I added others. Collectibility over wearability from my point of view and for my taste. Cool timepiece either way.

    • @Skibbityboo0580
      @Skibbityboo0580 Год назад

      I agree. I would get this watch if I could afford to spend $40K without batting an eye, but that amount is a serious purchase for me, and I would go for something more traditional. So I will just have to wait to become a multi-millionaire to get one lol.

    This is the best looking watch I have seen in my whole life! I love how this looks like a piece wearable tech but its purely mechanical. It is not too flashy but it looks elegant at the same time. Reminds of something Dieter Rams could have designed. Retro but very futuristic at the time. Timeless even. This is one of those pieces of design and egineering I would be amazed by still after many years of owning and wearing it.

    I love my Ressence. Rollex guys (I own a few TBH) always ask me about it and about 20 minutes into the conversation they are totally stunned. I ask about their watch and the conversation is 20 seconds. Tony Fadell (inventor of the iPod and Nest) helped design their type 2. I emailed them for service and the owner of the company replied himself. Ressence is the brand that only a few understand, but they are the people you want to talk watches with.

    2) How to wear a gmt watch? Is it ok to use it in a normal situation? Or you should limit the use to travels so you don’t get hate from the community?

I think watches like Ressence should be celebrated for their innovation.

    It's a nice watch indeed. The price is high but if you can afford it, go for it. Many people evaluate a watch based on its re-sale price, (with all due respect) while apparently forgetting to enjoy the watch. And as an added bonus, it's a watch that prompts conversation with those who notice it on your wrist. It remains a unique brand distinguished by its ingenious system. As a result, it also retains much of its value.
