Is the One considered an advanced design over the Three?
I know they introduced the 3 at Basel 2013, then the 1 this year, and I understand that the 3 is oil-filled, but the 1 isn't. The only functional difference I think I see is that the 3 has a date fxn while the 1 does not. Is the more recently introduced 1 an advanced design over that of the 3?
A Ressence MasterClass review
This weekend I had the chance to join a Ressence MasterClass at Maison De Greef, presented by the founder and driving force behind his brand Benoit Mintiens. Built up from a set of orbiting co-planar disks to create a mechanical screen without static hand...
I also attented this presentation...
Not at the same moment... I will also prepare a report. Thanks for your post, it was nice from Benoit to give us the opportunity to have a closer look on the module. Fx
Ow, Great! Looking forward to it!
Indeed, it was a great class. Happy to have joined it. Cheers, Mr.O
Super report, Mr Orange.
Did you disassemble and reassemble the movement? I laways had problems with the pallet fork... ;) Best, Nicolas
Ha, tricky for sure ...
Sadly, no assembling this time. Nevertheless, a great afternoon out. Cheers, Mr.O
Your report is a rare gem...
This is the first image I have seen of the Ressence module. Ressence is a humbling lesson for many. The power of industrial design in making new displays for mechanical watches. As you certainly remember Ressence got my best of the Fair for BaselWorld 201...
Hear Hear!
Great to see people like taking part in the wonderful world of designing watches ;o) Cheers, Mr.O
Thanks for the report!
What a fantastic way to display the time. Coincidentally, the only authorized retailer in Canada is a ten minute drive from my office, so I will have to visit the store and see them up close.
My guess is you won't be disappointed after the trip ...
I think it's a watch you have to had in your hands when being a sucker for watches ;o) Enjoy your trip, Mr.O
Benoit Mintiens - so impressive
Thank you for posting this. Mr Mintiens really created something breathtaking. What's he like in person?
I only met him twice now ...
Allready met him at the Salon Belles Montres in Paris two years ago. Always very warm and friendly. And explaining into detail with lot's of passion for his brand. Here's an old display from back then showing the first series, before Type 1 and 3. Cheers,...
