Ressence Type 1 Squared Night Blue

The Ressence Type 1² represents a unique evolution in the brand’s portfolio, marking their debut in the realm of dress watches. Introduced in 2017, the Type 1² marked a significant step for Ressence as their first dress watch. Featuring a distinctive cushion-shaped case, it represents a departure from the more rounded forms that characterised earlier collections. With its blend of distinct aesthetics, advanced mechanics, and a refined, dressier appeal, it offers a fresh perspective on what a modern timepiece can be.

Design And Features

Made from stainless steel, the Type 1² is not only the brand’s first watch in this material but also the slimmest and smallest model produced to date. With a case diameter of 41mm and a thickness of 11.5mm, it offers a refined, elegant profile, enhancing its wearability for formal occasions. The corners are shaped with precision, adding a touch of elegance and dynamism. The short lugs are positioned to blend seamlessly with the case's complex geometry enhancing both the visual appeal and the comfort of the watch.

The Type 1² retains the brand's hallmark orbital display system, which replaces traditional hands with rotating discs to indicate hours, minutes, and seconds. This approach maintains a clean, modern aesthetic while providing improved readability with an updated dial layout. A standout feature of the collection is the flip-out lever integrated into the caseback. This innovative mechanism allows for easy adjustment of the time by simply popping out the lever and turning it like a key. This system offers a tactile experience akin to winding an antique clock and is geared 1:1 with the minute disc, providing a direct and satisfying connection between the wearer and the movement.
