Ressence Type 1 V Genesis Watch Is As Raw As It Gets
As they often say,?"less is more" �C and?when it comes to watch brands, Ressence is one of the most interesting ones to?perfect that approach. Today, the brand has released?the Ressence Type 1 V Genesis, their roughest, rawest piece to date, designed?to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the founding of the company �C and their creation of timepieces that have done away with a traditional, three-dimensional dial and replaced it with one that is completely flat, with concentric circles (sub-dials) spinning around to indicate the time.The Ressence Type 1 V Genesis, however, is not less in the sense that it does less �C it is a five-piece limited re-issue of the original Ressence Type 1 and hence it features the 107-part, patented?Ressence Orbital Convex System that allows for its trademark way of indicating the time. Instead,?it?is (much) less when it comes to the number of refined details that we have grown used to seeing on other Ressence watches. Their other creations have a case, dial, an

A Bauhaus Inspired Guide
Open from 1919 to 1933, the Bauhaus was a sort of Utopian school of art, craft and architecture that has had a major and lasting effect on modern design. Founded by architect Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany, the Bauhaus in its fairly short lifetime output some of the great artists, designers and architects of the 20th century. Looking at the work from the period, its relevance and influence is undeniable, which is remarkable considering the school was founded nearly a century ago.With so many watches being large, aggressive and sport-inspired, something simple, easy to wear and versatile belongs in everyone's collection. Bauhaus inspired watches are a perfect fit, as their minimalist design makes them elegant enough to be dress watches, yet simple enough for daily wear.

Poor visibility with Grey themes..... Any others have similar issues
I have a 42mm ROO grey themes titanium on a bracelet. First of all I have to say that I love the watch and it looks amazing in person. That said, it's a little annoying that the minute it gets a little dim it becomes very difficult to tell the time. When you have an almost 30k watch and you have to take your phone out to tell the time it becomes a real pain.Actually thinking about trading it in for the 44mm ROO stainless and ceramic. Curious if any others have had similar issues.Thanks

Should I or should I not.....
