Man, I gotta tell you about this wild ride I had with the Ressence Type 3 watch. I’ve always been into watches, but this one, it’s in a league of its own. So, I got my hands on both the black and white versions, and let me tell you, it was a trip.
First off, getting these watches wasn’t a walk in the park. They’re pretty exclusive. I pulled some strings, did a bunch of searching, and finally, there they were. The moment I picked one up, I was like, “Whoa, what is this?” It was weird, in a good way. They felt super light, thanks to the titanium.
Now, the real deal started when I started messing around with them. These watches, they don’t have a normal crown. It took me a minute to figure out how to set the time. You gotta flip them over and twist the back. Sounds simple, but it’s a whole different ball game. I spent a good few hours just playing around with this, trying to get the hang of it. The time display, it’s all floating in some kind of liquid. You gotta see it to believe it.
I wore the black one, the TYPE 3 BB2, out to a fancy dinner. It’s so minimalist, it’s almost like it’s not even there, but people noticed. Got a few “What’s that on your wrist?” comments. Felt pretty slick, I gotta say.

Then, there’s the tech inside. The ROCS 3.6, or whatever they call it. It’s this crazy system that makes the time display work. All those discs moving around, it’s like a little universe on your wrist. I’m not gonna lie; I don’t fully get how it works, but it’s darn impressive. The time indicators floating in liquid – I spent way too much time just staring at it.
After a couple of weeks with these watches, I’m sold. They’re not just watches; they’re like pieces of art. Yeah, they’re pricey, but I get it now. It’s not just about telling time; it’s about how they make you feel. Proud, curious, a bit like a mad scientist. I’ve shown them to my friends, and we’ve spent hours just talking about them, figuring out the mechanics, and admiring the design.
Now, I keep these watches for special occasions. They’re too cool to just wear every day. It’s like having a secret weapon. You pull one out, and boom, instant conversation starter. People are always curious. “How does it work?” “Where did you get it?” “Can I try it on?” It’s a whole experience.
Switching it up, I took the white one, which they call the TYPE 3 W, to an art gallery opening. This one’s got a different vibe. It’s like the calm, cool cousin of the black one. It’s still a head-turner, but in a more understated way. I found myself just staring at it in the middle of the gallery, zoning out of all the art around me.
So, that’s my story with the Ressence Type 3. It’s been a wild, expensive, but totally worth it journey. These watches, they’re something else. They challenge what you think a watch should be. And I have these two watches in a special box, only to be worn at very rare and special moments, such as during a casual trip on my private jet, or while I’m shopping at an exclusive boutique. These watches aren’t only telling time, but are also telling about who I am. If you ever get a chance to see one in person, do it. It’s an experience you won’t forget.
