Type 1 Watch, No Hands, No Crown

No Hands, No Crown, A Beautiful Watch in all aspects

Spherical discs displaying hours, minutes, seconds and days revolve under the domed sapphire crystal. The indication discs continually revolve, as does the whole dial itself. The face of the watch is constantly changing in the same way that a human face is transformed by each passing emotion!

Ressence design is characterised by purity and minimalism. This quest for pared-down design includes the process of dematerialising the timepiece; a process illustrated by the elimination of traditional hands and by the curved dial. And by removing the crown, the TYPE 1 is addressing the quest for simplicity. The sapphire case back fulfills the functions of the crown. The Type 1 is wound up by turning the case back. Turning the back case in both directions sets the time.
