New Ressence Type 3 Watch With Oil Temperature Gauge
While the meaning of unique is so watered down that it challenges “in-house” for sheer over-use, I have trouble thinking of a more appropriate way to describe Ressence watches. I would be surprised if anyone reading this wasn’t aware, at least visually, of their Ressence Type?1 and Type?3 models which, in living up to the brand’s tag line, have evolved “beyond hands.” Announced just ahead of Baselworld 2015, Ressence has reworked their Type?3 model to include a temperature gauge to monitor the oil that fills the upper case element.Much like the original Ressence Type?3, the new Type?3 is 44mm x 15mm in size with a three-part case that is essentially two sapphire domes mounted to a titanium spine. The spine also forms the lugs and can be had in matte or polished finish, each with a DLC coating. Thanks to an extensive use of titanium, the total weight of the new Ressence Type?3 is just 75g, mounted on a leather strap with a matching titanium buckle.
Timezone.com Founder Worries About The Fragility Of High Watch Prices
Why does it seem that all the watches we love are priced like a year of tuition at an Ivy League college? It wasn't always this way.For more years than I care to remember, I've been collecting watches. Also, being a fourth generation watchmaker and retail jeweler, I've had the privilege of being an authorized dealer for several high profile watch companies including IWC, JLC, Ulysse Nardin, to name just a few. I've also had the distinction of watching the death of the mechanical wristwatch in the 1970's, the birth and dominance of the Japanese quartz watch shortly thereafter, and the resurrection of the modern Swiss mechanical watch in the late 1990's. But even though I've been brought up in the business and have a historical viewpoint of the industry, I'm still sticker shocked by today's prices.
