TYPE 2

Upgrade your wrist

ULTIMATE CONVENIENCE

The eCrown® is able to detect when the watch is no longer being worn and will stop the movement before it exhausts its power reserve, ready to be re-started when you pick it up again.

EFFORTLESS. MAGICAL. MECHANICAL.

eCrown® is activated and controlled by tapping the crystal on the dial of the TYPE 2, offering a new tactile experience and user-friendliness to mechanical watches.

Visually, it is represented on the dial by the selector sub disc and its four modes (time zone 1, time zone 2, app and eCrown® off).

TYPE 2

"The best way to envision the future of fine-watchmaking is by creating it."

Benoît Mintiens
Ressence founder and creative mind.

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
The development of the eCrown® came down to one simple but fundamental question: What if I could trust and rely on my mechanical watch as much as I do for my phone.
eCrown® automatically sets and adjusts the TYPE 2 to the right time when needed.

DISCOVER

SET ONCE AND GO
The TYPE 2 is manually set via the lever on its case back. By double tapping the crystal, the manually set time is digitally registered by eCrown®. There is no need to think about checking and adjusting the watch anymore, eCrown® does it automatically. Even after three months of inactivity, once the watch is fastened to the wrist and the wearer taps the crystal, eCrown® will automatically set it to the right time.

APP ENABLED
We developed the eCrown® app to reach an unseen level of convenience and modernity. Using Bluetooth to connect with the TYPE 2, the app displays a scroll down list of cities to choose from for both time zones to send directly to the smart crown.

LIGHT CHARGER
The TYPE 2 uses light energy to power the eCrown®. Photovoltaic cells (some hidden behind 10 micro-shutters on the dial) will use outside light as an energy source making the watch selfsufficient; a fundamental quality in the nomadic world of today.

FREQUENT TRAVELLER
The eCrown® allows two timezones to be stored. A single touch and your watch will always be precisely set and on time.

Expect more from your watch

Ressence’s pursuit to improve the mechanical watch is uniquely its own and the TYPE 2 is a perfect example of the brand’s determination to build products that question what a wrist watch can be in the 21st century. The emphasis is not primarily on timing precision but to create a better product as a whole - considering such characteristics as legibility, usability, and user experience.

Nightlife

Displaying time is essential to a watch. That’s why every Ressence is designed for easy readability, regardless of lighting conditions, thanks to the extra strong blue Super-LumiNova® filling the engraved indications.
