Tony Fadell & Benoît Mintiens Discuss The Ressence Type 2 e-Crown Concept

Just a few days before SIHH 2018 officially opened its doors in Geneva, Belgian watch brand Ressence dropped the Type 2 e-Crown Concept, a totally new kind of mechanical watch. While this concept watch still utilizes a fully mechanical movement to tell the time, it also contains the new "e-Crown" module, which is an electronic mechanism used to set the watch and to make sure the watch is always telling the correct time. As we mentioned when first introducing the Type 2 e-Crown Concept, it's a complex system that bears some real explanation. So, we sat down with Ressence founder Benoît Mintiens and technologist Tony Fadell (founder of Nest and inventor of the iPod) to get the full story of this watch from the two men who created it.
