Ressence Type 3
There are two unusual features that set the Ressence Type 3 apart from other mechanical watches. Instead of hands that move around a dial, the Type 3’s entire face, along with three smaller dials with hands painted on them, rotate in unison to update the position of each hand while keeping all the numbers upright and legible.
Seeing it in motion is like watching a carefully choreographed dance routine, but the space between the Type 3’s curved sapphire dome and its moving face is also filled with 3.75 ml of oil, magnifying all of its details and creating an optical illusion that there’s no gap at all. So it’s no surprise that this piece comes with a $30,000 price tag.
