Just like EVs , in the case of EVs we must wait a few decades to find out what the new problems are ! Just like ICE CARs they make all citys cleaner and much healthier by removing a city with lawyer of horse manure. Often more than a foot deep full of bugs and flies. In other words an open sewer.

One of the main reasons I avoided Ressence is the same reason I'd never buy a U-Boat. Whilst I can appreciate the engineering behind Ressence, the HYT debacle is a cautionary tale. Something I appreciate about F.P. Journe, JLC, and VC (and a few others I might have forgotten) is that they'll service any watch - no matter how far back it goes, since they keep all the blueprints and equipment required to service those watches.If those companies failed to exist, a watch maker could possibly repair it. Where as with Ressence, whilst the movement may be basic ETA - the Oil component would be a difficult and tedious task for a watch maker to deal with and one would rely only on Ressence to service the timepiece. As a concept, it's cool - but down the line, is there sustainability in this?

I have seen a few videos on Ressence watches and I just love the whole idea. This video looked at the watch type in a very different or in a more complete manner then other videos I have seen, so thank you. What you showed is spot on for those who enjoy watches for the mechanics and what it takes to just tell time. I would like it to have its own movement but then when you point out ALL the work for everything else I think many can get past the movement. I think certain watch collectors will want to have this watch for all the ways it approaches problems in telling time for the owner that makes it so cool to have. Its a flex move to have one, if you ask me, between watch collectors and not the larger watch world we are currently in. THE ONLY think I kind of wish you all had looked into, and it came about while listening to your video, was the service needs or aspect for this watch. Due to everything you pointed out and how oil can fail over time what is the process or when would one expect the process need to happen with these watches. I would love to own an example but it would be sad if these are kind of toss outs or fail more often then not due to the complexity. What would not be great is if they do service them but due to all the effort you would be better off buying a new watch for the price of the repair. Love some thoughts on this as since this is a newer brand I have not seen much on maintenance needs. Thanks for the video on this, really cool info you all shared on a cool watch!

Let me start by saying I love this watch! The engineering and problem solving involved is off the charts! And the esthetic design is stunningly beautiful! But 5 degrees below zero Celsius is NOT THAT COLD. Can you not wear this watch outside in winter? That is an extremely limiting specification in my view. Still, if someone gave me this watch I would be a happy man, and would only wear it indoors from December to March. But I WOULD wear it!

I think you could wear it below -5, but it would get an air bubble. Once you went back inside the air bubble would disappear. Although I think for most people -5 is pretty cold. Bear in mind it’ll also be on your wrist which is at about 27 C
@DrBovdin
@DrBovdin 2 жыл бұрын
Exactly. It is not a piece that should be left outside on its own on a cold day, but who would do that anyway? If you have the cash flow to comfortably own one of these, you will have other time pieces you would strap on while climbing mountains in sub-zero temperatures. I can’t really think of a reasonable real world scenario where you would still be alive and you would risk having the watch you are wearing cool down that much, even on the face side. Your body heat will conduct through the piece and most likely keep it within working specs in almost any use case. To cool it down that much while being strapped to it you most likely would also have to expose it directly to the elements at a much colder ambient temperature than -5°C for an extended period, and you yourself would likely try to take measures to stop exposing your wrist to them as well, well before the watch face manages to reach the critical temperature. I may be wrong, in my assumptions, but I guess someone will have to either do the simulations or just try wearing it at uncomfortably cool circumstances. I would actually be more concerned about the upper limit, as that could actually be an issue in the summer, even in places with much more sensible summers. Keep in mind how hot a car, especially with dark furniture, can become in the summer. The oil filled face bit is then, just as is the case in winter (which is why I do have to say I am not 100% sure the previous statements hold entirely) will be partially insulated from siphoning heat off onto your wrist by the contained air in the power section of the watch. If I were to guess, it will be more units failing due to overheating than to hypothermia. Cheers

@frankpentangeli7945 2 жыл бұрын
@@DrBovdin You may be right, but I don't know how much the dial side of the watch would be affected by one's body heat, particularly since it's pretty much isolated from the movement by ... a layer of titanium? In any event, I live in Canada. Fortunately I'm in the warm part, but this winter the temperature did go down to -12. Other parts of Canada experience -20 to -30 on a regular basis in winter, so I wouldn't attempt to wear the watch outdoors in those places, regardless of how warmly dressed I was. I lived in those regions for 25 years, and it's not pleasant. 😁

Well, this definitely isn't your father's old Rolex! It's interesting to see that there are still innovations in horology still to be made. The engineering of this watch movement is fascinating, as is the face if the watch. There are pros and cons to owning and wearing a watch like this, and the price of it ensures it will be a collector's watch. Anyway, two thumbs up for the vision becoming a real physical product available for sale.

There are definitely a lot of things to consider at this price point but end of the day, its a question of whether one would rather own an innovative rarely been done before timepiece or another timepiece that relies solely on its heritage and finishing as the main marketing tool behind it. I personally own a Ressence Type 1 and though it isn't oil filled like the Type 3 or Type 5, it is still one of the coolest timepieces I own in terms of overall design. I love the orbital display, two dimensional dial and the organic design of the watch. Personally I appreciate brands like Ressence that challenge the way time is displayed and the innovation they bring. The Type 2 is one of the best marriages of a mechanical and smart watch combined. And yes; I do think when its picked up after a long lull period, its orbital display will do its magic dance before adjusting to the correct time and day.

You can see in this video, but it is difficult to really appreciate how amazing is the dial in reality. It looks like OLED. There are no visible gaps, it looks paper printed (it was a white dial). As I am restructuring my collection, I'll fit one of these in it as it is such a different watch. You really need to have one in your hands to really appreciate the looks.

First: this is an amazing watch! I love it! The engineer in me can't stop drooling over it. I'll stop here, I just love it. Now here comes the part that's borderline heresy: I can't afford it, but I just might buy a smartwatch if someone could implement the dial design and concept into a functional watch face. Sure, only about 70% of what makes this watch what it is can be implemented on flat screen... but I'd take that... Seriously now: this is one formidable watch, I have massive respect for the mind behind the design and concept as well as the team that finally made it possible. As for the fact that the heart of the watch is "standard ETA"... the ones who complain about it are, in my humble opinion, missing the point. everything else around this movement, the dial mechanics, the oil filled upper half, the lack of a crown, that what makes this watch amazing... The actual time keeping movement is actually the least important part of it... Now, I do admit that this watch, due to its unique construction, is going to be a royal pita to service... and I would be bold enough to add that this price tag should include life time servicing.

If I understand the pdf correctly, you can't wind the watch manually without changing the time as well. You can turn back and forth though. Setting the date is done by going back and forth between 23:45 and 00:30, the date will only go forward. The weekday is completely tied to time, so you set the time 24h in either direction for one weekday. Not sure if that's terrible or ingenious. You never need to turn more than 3 days in one direction for the weekday and you don't need to wind it much.

I find it incredibly inspiring. I think it’s beautiful. Having solved so many individual engineering problems in such elegant fashion, a new horizon in mechanical watch design and functionality now lies before us. By implementing just one of the engineering marvels found in this watch, the average watch can now be improved in ways yet to be discovered. The fact that he used the ETA movement as a foundation proves this. I mean really, if I’m going to reinvent the motion works, calendar works, dial, case, and crystal WHY on Gods green earth would I bother with slogging through the redesign of a movement or the use of a much more expensive movement if functionality and performance didn’t demand that I do so? This watch and it’s designer deserve a toast and a hearty, “Thank you”. However, that “thank you” will not be coming from me in the form of cash any time soon. I can’t afford it.

Bellows responding to change in air pressure is what powers the Atmos clock.

It feels exactly like a pebble in your hand and there are equally crazy watch faces available for a few dollars!!

That's exactly what it is, identical shape. My wife has one, and it feels very like a smooth rounded pebble that you want to skip across a pond. Of course I wouldn't do that with a $40k watch!

@@brianmsahin Yes, and there is very satisfying feeling about holding an object shaped in this way. It's a beautiful work of engineering though $40k is a bit much. I can't see it holding that value for long, and if it had a problem years down the road, I'd say servicing or repair would cost a pretty penny, assuming the company is still in existence.

So it uses bellows to compensate for the expansion and contraction of the oil but how did they deal with l the oil's viscosity variations in the different temperatures? Just thinking aloud.

Definately the coolest watch of the past decade. I'd never wear it, but it is pretty clever.

The reason mechanical watches interest me is the engineering and this watch wins on all aspects. Then you and add the oil filled display, an awesome look.

There are so many watches out there with a value proposition I simply can't wrap my head around and I couldn't imagine ever buying one no matter how much money I had. This is the first watch I've seen where I'd jump at the chance to get one if I had "F-U" money.

Y'all need some sort of indicator in the title of these videos to let us know which ones are "standard" Watchfinder content and which ones are two-host versions like this. Great content!

I think the concept is great and the non oil filled watch (type 1 slim) is a workable everyday watch. However the price point of around15k+ is far too high imho. Not being a cachet brand like Rolex, AP, Patek etc I can’t see who would want this as their “one watch collection” and it’s too expensive as a second watch for most folks. If the type 1 slim was 4-6k I’d buy one tomorrow.

Analyzing the watch face, I noticed it's missing the seconds hand which other Type 3 seem to have. Anyone know what that's about?
