Been looking at these online, anyone here actually handled/owned one?
Quirky but interesting.

Keep your money in your pocket, they’re gash.

And there's nothing wrong with that...

Not being negative..just realistic
There are several threads on this
Here is mine: https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...light=Ressence
It is not for everyone. I enjoyed mine and regret having traded it though it was for a special watch.
This is exactly what has put me off. I really like the look of them, and the creativity that is behind their approach, but at the end of the day it is a lot of money to be tied up in a watch that would be very difficult to shift if needed. Will they age well? Not sure.Quote:

Great thread, thank you for sharing. The 5 looks fantastic. Obviously you got it at a very impressive price - how did the sale/swap of it go in terms of value?

Excuse me mate, have you got the time?Quote:

They are amazing.
Great engineering, great to look at, and very legible. The oil filled effect is even better in your hand.
I'd have one in a heartbeat and don't understand the negativity shown in this thread. I'd have one over any watch you could buy in a provincial shopping centre.
I’d have most other watches as to what you could buy in a ‘provincial shopping centre’, still makes the Ressence a risky bet for the money thoughQuote:

I'd love one.
Seen them @ Salon QP a couple of times.
They are a very intriguing design, and if money was no object - sure, why not!
love the type-3 oil filled but none of the other ones
if i had disposable income then yes would go for one...
A good video, with lots of detail on the Ressence, has been posted by Watchfinder.

Love 'em or loathe 'em, this goes some way to explain why they cost what they do.
A lot of clever and original engineering in a Ressence.

Wow, love the idea, just not wild about the aesthetic.
