{"product_id":"ressence-type-1-white-1-3-2024","title":"Ressence - Type 1 – White – 1.3 – 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ressence Type 1.3 represents a fundamental reimagining of how we read time, born from industrial designer Benoît Mintiens' vision to create a watch that transcends traditional horology. Introduced as part of Ressence's pioneering Type 1 collection, this reference eliminates the crown entirely, featuring the Belgian brand's revolutionary orbital display system where discs rotate within discs to indicate hours, minutes, seconds, and day of the week. The white dial variant presents this mechanical ballet with crystalline clarity, its minimalist aesthetic amplified by the absence of a central axis or visible hands. This 2024 example captures Ressence at its most pure, a contemporary horological statement that bridges industrial design and fine watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 42mm Grade 5 titanium case houses the proprietary ROCS 1 module, Ressence's Revolving Orbital Satellite System built upon a modified ETA 2824\/2 base caliber. The ingenious system translates conventional rotary motion into the brand's signature bi-axial planetary display, where each indication occupies its own sub-disc rotating within the larger dial architecture. The movement provides 36 hours of power reserve, with all adjustments executed through the caseback manipulation lever rather than a traditional crown. Sapphire crystal sits nearly flush with the case, creating the optical illusion that the dial elements float impossibly close to the surface. Water resistance to 10 ATM ensures the unconventional architecture remains protected during daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 42mm in titanium with a fitted rubber strap, the Type 1.3 achieves remarkable wrist presence without excessive weight, making it equally suited to boardroom and weekend contexts. This complete set includes original box and papers, documenting full provenance for this 2024 manufacture example in excellent condition. Collectors drawn to the Type 1 appreciate its uncompromising design philosophy and the technical achievement of its orbiting display, a complication that exists nowhere else in contemporary watchmaking. The Ressence Type 1.3 is horological modernism realized in three dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Investment Watches Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56705062502726,"sku":"A2150","price":16950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/5559\/3658\/files\/IMG_7197.webp?v=1780525186","url":"https:\/\/www.investmentwatches.com\/products\/ressence-type-1-white-1-3-2024","provider":"Investment Watches Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
