In celebration of its fifth anniversary, unconventional watch brand Ressence has released the limited “Genesis” edition of its Type 1 timepiece. With only five pieces produced, the watch features the company’s patented 107-part Ressence Orbital Convex System, in which the entire watch face rotates to tell the time and removes the crown in favor of winding the bottom plate of the case. In this particular version, however, the pieces are taken directly off the production line, with the grade 5 titanium watch case remaining unfinished, and the convex nickel silver watch face only receiving a sandblast treatment, eschewing SuperLuminova markings for slightly galvanized indications. Available in a 42mm case with a heavily modified automatic ETA and 36-hour power reserve, the Ressence Type 1 V Genesis watch can be bought for €18,750 EUR, or $21,058 USD.
