Introducing the first self-setting mechanical watch ever. The Ressence Type 2 e-Crown® Concept watch showcases the tremendous potential of its automated time setting technology called e-Crown. With its redefined patented dial system (ROCS), lightweight titanium construction, and sleek design, the Type 2 e-Crown® Concept watch is at the fore-front of modern fine-watchmaking. The watch illustrates Ressence’s vision on advanced fine-watchmaking by previewing its upcoming Type 2.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust set once the time of your Type 2 e-Crown® Concept via the lever on the case back and you are ready to go. No need to think about setting or adjusting your watch anymore, the Type 2 e-Crown® Concept does it for you. And when operating, the e-Crown® technology, combined with the Ressence display by discs, is simply magical. The main disc, as well as the auxiliary discs, revolve effortlessly and automatically, behaving like fast-forwarded moons around a planet. The Type 2 e-Crown® Concept, a 500 components mechanical wonder, truly offers the ultimate 21st century horological experience.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The best way to envision the future of fine-watchmaking is by creating it.\"\u003cbr\u003eBenoît Mintiens, Ressence founder and creative mind.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Type 2 e-Crown® Concept is the Ressence of many firsts but one in particular. It is equipped with e-Crown®: An in-house electro-mechanical embedded system capable of registering, monitoring, adjusting and most importantly setting the time of the Type 2 e-Crown® Concept without human intervention. It is essential to notice that the Type 2 e-Crown® Concept is a cognitive mechanical watch, meaning the watch learns the time you set and does not rely on external signals (such as radio or gps).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ee-Crown® does not only replace the crown but exceed it in terms of convenience and performance. It is controlled by simply tapping the glass of the Type 2 e-Crown® Concept. A double tap awakes the embedded system while a single tap pilots the selector in the mode menu. Located on a sub-disc, the selector always indicates in what mode you are in. You can set and display two time zones manually via the lever on the case-back or connect via Bluetooth with the e-Crown® app.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe e-Crown® app is not compulsory but brings the Type 2 e-Crown® Concept to an unseen level of ease and avant-gardism. Instead of manually setting the time zones, the app offers you a geolocation and a drop-down menu of cities. You can then choose, pre-set and finally send the time zones information to the Type 2 e-Crown® Concept. Accurate to the second, it has never been more user-friendly to change time zones on a fully mechanical watch. If set via the app, the Type 2 e-Crown® Concept will even change winter or summer time automatically. Furthermore, the e-Crown® app offers you the comfort of being notified when to service your watch as it will monitor the accuracy on a daily basis.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Type 2 e-Crown® Concept is a fully self-sufficient mechanical watch relying on two natural sources of energy: Wrist movement and outside light. The automatic base movement is powered by a self-winding rotor while the e-Crown® is powered by a kinetic generator and photovoltaic cells. The kinetic generator, made of grade 5 Titanium, surrounds the base movement and has its own barrel. The custom-build and developed triple junction photovoltaic cells are hidden under 10 micro-shutters (one shutter measures 2x3mm) located around the selector sub-disc. They will open automatically when the energy balance is low and can be controlled via the app.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Type 2 e-Crown® Concept capabilities and experience vary according to the way you use it. In full e-Crown® mode (e-Crown® + App setting) your watch is set and adjusted to the second by your smart-phone. In semi e-Crown® mode (e-Crown® + Manual setting) your watch is set and adjusted to the minute. In mechanical mode (no e-Crown® + Manual setting) your watch is running without any assistance, like in the \"good\" old days of traditional fine-watchmaking.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/738902040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003e\n\t\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/pub\/media\/etp\/category\/ressence\/manual\/type2.jpg\" alt=\"how this watch works\" class=\"etplazy img-responsive\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ressence","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47198853398699,"sku":"TYPE2G","price":63100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2783\/3515\/files\/1031086726.jpg?v=1780786151"},{"product_id":"ressence-type-2a-anthracite","title":"Ressence Type 2A Anthracite","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the manufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe development of the e-Crown® came down to one simple but fundamental question: What if I could trust and rely on my mechanical watch as much as I do for my phone.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ee-Crown® automatically sets and adjusts the Type 2 to the right time when needed.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ee-Crown® is activated and controlled by tapping the crystal on the dial of the Type 2, offering a new tactile experience and user-friendliness to mechanical watches.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, it is represented on the dial by the selector sub disc and its four modes (time zone 1, time zone 2, app and e-Crown off).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriven by user experience, it combines the reliability of electronics with the emotion and beauty of mechanical engineering.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Type 2 is manually set via the lever on its case back. By double tapping the crystal, the manually set time is digitally registered by e-Crown®. There is no need to think about checking and adjusting the watch anymore, e-Crown® does it automatically. Even after three months of inactivity, once the watch is fastened to the wrist and the wearer taps the crystal, e-Crown® will automatically set it to the right time.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe developed the e-Crown® app to reach an unseen level of convenience and modernity. Using Bluetooth to connect with the Type 2, the app displays a scroll down list of cities to choose from for both time zones to send directly to the smart crown.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Type 2 uses light energy to power the e-Crown®. Photovoltaic cells (some hidden behind 10 micro-shutters on the dial) will use outside light as an energy source making the watch selfsufficient; a fundamental quality in the nomadic world of today.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor added travel convenience, e-Crown® can register two time zones. Set the second time zone the same way as the first one and switch from one to another via the mode selector on the dial.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/738902040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003e\n\t\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/pub\/media\/etp\/category\/ressence\/manual\/type2.jpg\" alt=\"how this watch works\" class=\"etplazy img-responsive\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ressence","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47198856118443,"sku":"TYPE2A","price":63100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2783\/3515\/files\/1032774419.jpg?v=1780786159"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/collections\/ressence-type-2-e-crown.oembed","provider":"Exquisite Timepieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
