The Ressence 'Type 2' timepiece has been designed as a modern piece of equipment for the connected consumer to utilize when looking to maintain a stylish aesthetic without sacrificing function. Connecting to your smartphone, the timepiece features a fully mechanical design along with a ROCS display disc system to give it a completely unorthodox aesthetic in comparison to other watches on the market. The watch was designed with the help of Tony Fadell who is the founder of Nest and the designer of the iPod.
The Ressence 'Type 2' timepiece also incorporates e-Crown technology that enables the accessory to adjust itself when you enter a new timezone by simply tapping on the crystal. This eliminates the need to fiddle with the crown to make adjustments, and acknowledges the increasingly travel-centric lifestyle of many consumers .
