On: The Ressence Type 11 with Proprietary Movement, A Game

At first glance, little appears different. The pebble-shaped silhouette remains intact, somewhere between a Type 1 and a Type 8 , but the Type 11 introduces subtle classical touches. The Grade 5 titanium case now incorporates conventional lugs, giving the watch a different stance without losing its fluid appearance. Measuring 41mm in diameter, 11mm thick and with a compact 45mm lug-to-lug distance, it wears remarkably well. Titanium keeps the weight low, while the fully polished surfaces bring out the almost sculptural quality that has always characterised Ressence watches. The integration done between the movement and the ROCS display module is, without a doubt, beneficial to the overall comfort on the wrist. The Type 11 isn’t noticeably thinner, but it simply feels more coherent as an object.
