Thanks!

Amazing watches that beautifully simplify and convey complex philosophical ideas! Wish I could afford one, but I’m glad they are out there!

One of the only genuinely innovative brands in the mechanical watch space

[@S_G_86]

Their e-crown mechanism is a genius way to set the watch. Such a unique brand , love the style of the watches as well!

I saw them at W&W up close - very elegant technology

[@BenHannaNZ]

The way these watches move is just incredible. I'll never own one but what an absolute masterpiece of design and engineering.

Ressence is probably my grail, though I don't think I would ever spend that much on a watch. To me, the design is both revolutionary and classic at the same time. It's just on another level to "regular" watches IMO.
