Ressence Type 1 Round

Ressence is renowned for granting enthusiasts a profound passage through an emotional odyssey, where the brilliance of horology intertwines seamlessly with designs that stir the soul. Among Its offerings, the Type 1 Round Collection stands tall as the brand's magnum opus, a captivating masterpiece that enthralls at every turn.

About Ressence Type 1 Round Watches

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Ressence Type 1 Round Watches embody the pinnacle of horological brilliance, inviting wearers into a world where precision and artistry unite to create an unforgettable timekeeping experience. Emphasizing the pure essence of time, its design celebrates the beauty found in uncomplicated shapes.
Ressence meticulously designs the curved sapphire crystal to flow seamlessly to the edge of the case while retaining the collection's signature wired lugs and infusing elements of the emblematic pebble design from the Ressence Type 3 collection.
The circular case exudes a sleek, tactile allure with flowing forms and a domed crystal with thinner lugs compared to previous versions. Benoît Mintiens, Founder of Ressence, asserts, "The new TYPE 1° Round reflects our ongoing pursuit of essential, meaningful design. We believe that better design involves less design, prioritizing function above all."
The dial has also been updated, including the removal of certain numerical indices from the minutes track, which have been replaced by markers. Like other Ressence watches, the dial doesn't remain static but presents an orbital interpretation of time, adding a dynamic dimension to its functionality. Ressence Type 1 Round Watches offer second, minute, hour, and day functions, each indicated by a single hand painted within the disc.

Ressence Type 1 Round History

Ressence emerged in 2010 under the vision of Benoît Mintiens in Antwerp, Belgium. Debuting at BaselWorld in 2010, Ressence unveiled three prototypes, later releasing the inaugural production of 50 watches known as the "ZeroSeries" in spring 2011. BaselWorld 2014 marked a significant shift as Ressence introduced the Type 1 lineup, characterized by a crownless design, a subtly flatter case, and inward-pointing lugs.
Over time, the Type 1 underwent gradual advancements, shedding the crown and evolving its case design. The evolution continued with the introduction of the cushion-cased Type 1 Squared at SIHH in 2017, followed by the Type 1 Slim. The Type 1 embodies the essence of Ressence through its utilization of the Ressence Orbital Convex System. This innovative system employs gears and discs to depict time (hours, minutes, seconds) on rotating discs seamlessly integrated onto a domed dial.
In 2023, the Belgium-based indie watchmaker revisited the classic model, reintroducing a refreshed version, the Ressence TYPE 1° Round. This modernized interpretation maintains the brand's signature aesthetics while embracing essentialism and staying aligned with its current lineup. The TYPE 1° Round perpetuates Ressence's minimalistic approach to timekeeping, integrating ergonomic design, sleek contours with a tactile feel, and a subtly reimagined dial.
