When Ressence was founded in 2010, it main goal was to improve the functioning of the mechanical watch in the 21^stcentury. Since then, the contemporary brand has created many timepieces featuring unique dial discs that tell time.

For the 2021 Watches & Wonders, Ressence launches its latest addition to their popular Type 2 collection - the Type 2N 'Night'. As the third watch in its series, the Tye 2N 'Night' is a refined and elegant iteration of the original Type 2 design and aesthetics. It features the grade 5 titanium case with a dial topography that matches the rich shade of blue. With such a colour-combination, the watch joins the existing 'Grey' and 'Anthracite' Type 2 references.

Most of you are aware that the Type 2 concept was born with Ressence's patented e-Crown functionality wherein your watch is set correctly with just a touch on the top. It is made possible with the power of light that activates the immense array of photovoltaic cells that ensures smart functions.

With the Tye 2 , the watch industry was exposed to the possibility of using electronics to further enhance a mechanical timepiece. Now with the e-Crown, a tap on the watch's crystal enables your time to be set instantly and there is no need for winding. With this system, the watch also saves energy cause when a detection is made of the watch no longerbeing  in use, the movement stops immediately. Next time, it will then pick up from where you left off.

“The Type 2 is the most advanced representation of what we stand for: design without compromise, and 21st century watchmaking for 21st century people. It combines the best of both worlds - empathy and trust - improving the mechanical watch without impacting its mechanical integrity.” says Benoit Mintiens, founder of Ressence.

The watch is crafted in a 45mm Grade 5 Titanium case and blue dial that houses 2 eccentric biaxial satellites offering functions like hours, minutes, seconds, and a second time zone. Powering this unique watch is the ROCS mechanism – the Ressence Orbital Convex System that allows each 'hand' to orbit each other in an ever-changing dial. It clocks in a power reserve of 36 hours and is set with 37 gears for smooth functioning.

The 2021 Ressence Type 2N 'Night' comes in a blue strap and is priced at INR 36.98 lakh (approx.)
