RESSENCE

RESSENCE is a watch manufacturer founded in 2010 by Benoît Mintiens in Antwerp, Belgium. The brand name is a portmanteau of "Renaissance" and "essence".The particularity of Ressence’s patented time display system is that all graphical elements that form the dial lie in one co-planar surface very close under the sapphire glass, including the digits and the graphical hands. To indicate the time, the ‘mechanical display module’ is composed of discs and rings that orbit around each other. Functions of the first and second lines are: AM/PM, hours, minutes and seconds. Although a number of people have commented that the watch is too difficult to read, some watch reporters have compared the watch design to that of Apple because of its combination of simplicity and functionality Because of the prominence of the minutes' hand, the watch is sometimes referred to as a regulator model. The co-planar rotating discs and rings are engraved and filled up with Super-LumiNova, although silver or titanium models with black versions of the material cannot be read in the dark despite the special paint. The automatic module uses a modified mechanical automatic Swiss Made caliber from ETA S.A. to power it
