Manic Fixie Watches: A Love Letter to Fixed Lug Timepieces
Ressence Type 5 L
Picture this : you’re at an experimental art show. The room is dimly lit, filled with chatter and the clinking of glasses. As you check the time on your wrist, your luminous TYPE 5 L catches the eye of your neighbour. First, a brief eye contact. Then, a smile. And, in no time, here you are answering all their questions, exchanging ideas, and contact details to keep the conversation going.
In that moment, the TYPE 5 L proves our point — beyond functionality, a statement piece sparks connection, even in the most unexpected places.
Wait no more. The bright new TYPE 5 L is finally out in all its shine. And shine it does. At the movies or a wild rave, driving through a tunnel or exploring a bat cave, rest assured you won't go incognito.
As clues are hard to ignore, you must have guessed what L stands for. Neither lemon nor lavender, but L as in ‘Luminescent’. Thanks to its full Super-LumiNova® inlay, the entire dial casts a strong glow when the lights are low.
“This new beamer and latest addition to our line of mechanical watches is as much a tool watch as a conversation starter, thanks to its superior legibility and unique design .” says Benoît Mintiens, Founder of Ressence. “It’s not just about functionality; the robust TYPE 5 L brings a sense of quiet assurance and singularity to its wearer, making it a true companion for any endeavor.”
And by the way, you can also dive with it.
The TYPE 5 Luminescent will complement the TYPE 5 Night Blue and Black Black. It will be available worldwide from June 2024, via Ressence’s official retailer network.
