for this particular model.  I think Ressence watches are terrific looking.   I really liked the type 3 but wanted to see how reliable they were with the liquid between crystal and dial, and it was a little pricey although if offered a lot of functions.  I really like the look of this model, and hope they continue to produce more like it.   I usually stick with the bigger brands but I would love to have one of these in the future if they are available.  Thanks for the report and pictures.

Such an understated design but one that really works. And the matt charcoal finish makes a pleasant change to the profusion of black PVD watches that are currently a la mode with watch companies.

Thanks Avatar. Sure it offers a different perspective...

you really know how to bring out the details of the watch and its makers along with the independent spirit. i hope to see one in the flesh but with only Five examples I may not be so lucky. Thanks for the report. Going in for a second read to see what I m...

And even if you miss the Genesis, I'm sure that you will be able to see a Type 1 or even more spectacular, the Type 3 and its liquid! Fx

This is the kind of watch that "has" to exist

I feel so lucky to have received one of the five made! Goes nicely with my 1g, worn here by my g.f. :) (Works well on a small woman's wrist too.)
