Anyone who knows me, will know how passionate I am about Ressence. To me, there simply isn’t a brand out there challenging how time is read quite like Ressence. The kicker - knowing the team behind the brand, and they are the coolest dudes out! So when Ressence said it had partnered with Sotheby’s for a good cause, I was immediately onboard!
Joining forces against coronavirus, the project is to design a unique watch. For the first time ever, we all will have a shot at creating our own Type 1 Slim. The competition is open now, and run until 12 May (2pm GMT). The winning design will be selected by Belgian designer and Ressence founder Benoît Mintiens. The successful designer will have their name engraved on the case of the piece. The unique piece will be offered in Sotheby’s Hong Kong “Important Watches” auction on 11 July. Proceeds from the sale will support the Covid-19 Research Programme at KU Leuven University in Belgium.
