Ahead of time – Ressence

Founded in 2010 by Belgian industrial designer Benoît Mintiens, Ressence is a watch brand that merges innovative design with traditional watchmaking craftsmanship. Known for its unique display system called the Ressence Orbital Convex System (ROCS), the brand eliminates traditional hands in favor of rotating discs that display the time. This design not only enhances legibility but also provides a modern, minimalist aesthetic.

Ressence has made significant strides in the horological world with its oil-filled watches, such as the Type 3, which offers unparalleled clarity and readability. The brand’s commitment to pushing boundaries has earned it numerous accolades, including the Horological Revelation Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. With a focus on simplicity, functionality, and a futuristic design approach, Ressence continues to redefine the essence of timekeeping in the 21st century
