A rare collaboration between Ressence and Hodinkee, the Type 1H debuted in 2017 in a limited run of just 20 pieces! Inspired by the retro-futuristic appeal of the 1927 Metropolis movie, it wears with dramatic presence. Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Features a beautiful brushed stainless steel case connects smoothly to the domed crystal, offering a clean and comfortable feel on the wrist. The openworked German silver dial has a soft, matte finish and angled edges, giving it a layered look with a gentle shine, made even more noticeable without a surrounding bezel. Functions include hours, minutes, running seconds subdial, and day of the week indicator. Manual winding is achieved by turning the caseback counter-clockwise within a 30-degree arc and gently rocking it back and forth about 20 times to fully charge the 36-hour power reserve. To set the time, the wearer rotates the caseback, prompting the orbital display to move all nested discs in perfect synchronization. Comes as a full set, double-boxed, including the warranty card and a special 3D-printed spherical box with the Hodinkee “H” logo on top. With only 20 pieces ever made, this timepiece holds a special place in modern independent watchmaking. For anyone who values innovation and modern design, the Type 1H leaves a strong but subtle impression – distinct, constantly in motion, and unlike anything else in the horological world.
