Planar Mechanical Time Display for Watches
Premiering at Baselworld, the brand Ressence presents its watch with a rotating dial plate, the “platform watch”. Time is displayed by a flush mounted revolving dial that embodies all the graphical elements in one plane. It was conceived by industrial designer Benoit Mintiens.
The patented display system features a revolving module driven by a modified automatic Swiss caliber (base ETA 2824) with 38 jewels. The revolving dial plate points out the minutes, the lunatic subdials inside the main dial plate indicate the hours, seconds and am-pm. The subdials orbit around a virtual axis similar to the moons around Saturn.
The case is done in titanium and stainless steel, and measures 42mm x 13mm. It features a 3D convex sapphire crystal on both sides with vertical flush mount interface on case.
