Ahead of Watches and Wonders, Ressence has introduced its Type 11 timepiece, describing it as “Contemporary without chasing the future. Present, without belonging to the past.” And it indeed is the brand’s most complete watch—dressy, sporty, and modern. The watch comes in three iterations - Pine, Sky, and Latte.
All three models debut with the brand’s first completely designed and developed in-house movement—Werk RW-01, a COSC-certified manual winding movement equipped with a triangular architecture, two barrels, and a central balance wheel, supporting the brand’s patented Ressence Orbital Convex System (ROCS).
Unlike the brand’s previous watches, the movement is now grouped with ROCS and becomes a single entity, offering better precision—each movement comes with a unique serial number. The new movement boasts a power reserve of about 60 hours.
“The TYPE 11 is our ‘Now’ watch, it has the codes of classic watchmaking but it is certainly not a watch of the past,” explains Benoît Mintiens, Founder, Ressence.
The watches feature a 41 mm pebble-shaped case in polished grade 5 titanium. The dials—Pine, Sky and Latte—indicate hours, minutes, and seconds, in the same way as the previous models did. Its power reserve is also quite distinct—it tracks power via the brand’s patented indication using ceramic micro balls. The lighter balls, more is the power reserve. This was done with a patented indication where a string of micro-balls in two contrasting tones provide an intuitive visual gauge. As the movement winds, the lighter balls progressively emerge while the darker ones recede. When the watch is at rest and power depletes, the process reverses.
The watches are offered with four bracelet options, including a sleek titanium Milanese strap.
Available from May 2026, the watches are priced at Rs. 27,00,000 (approx.)
