The Ressence Type 1 Squared
Here is the article published by Hodinkee

I just don't know - if I would spend this amount of money on a watch - if it would be on a Ressence ?

Than there's a lot of other options on the market

Would you ?

The Ressence type 3 is a gorgious piece and I love the innovation it brings. I could never see buying one but I can certainly see the appeal for those who would.

I like their watches, but never at that price point.

OK misse 'omschrijving' . . . je kent de Belgen

Fijn dat het je goed gaat !

Hier is alles ok

Heimwee . . . niet dadelijk

Je weet dat ik liever warm dan koud heb

Dus zeker en vast niets voor jou hier . . .

Neat looking watch with some really cool innovations but not at that price, yikes.

Hope so, I'm working on a deal with a Dutch company and might have to go there for a couple of days to finalize it.

When I first saw this brand's "cool" looking watch, whichever model that is, I thought "wow, that looks awesome. Probably 4 or 5 grand."

Nope! 20 grand!?

His best friend owns the old and this model

Ran into problems with both . . . .

A system swatch is more appealing.

Whenever I see unknown swiss brands on abtw I always know the price is going to be sky high.

It's definitely appealing, but @$20k it just isn't there. If it was in the $2,800 to $3,200 range I would consider it, maybe.

I prefer the Type 3, but can't see spending $20K+ on it.
