Watches, we know them as time keepers that are built with crystal sitting on top of hands, sitting on top of a dial. While the Ressence Type 3 doesn’t take you back and forth in time (neither does it teleport you from place to place), it’s pretty cool. With no hands and no crown, it features a series of constantly rotating discs that indicate hours, minutes, seconds, and days, and the space between them and the crystal is filled with a naphtha-type liquid that makes them appear to be projected directly onto the crystal. The back serves to replicate the functions of a crown, letting you set the time, date, and wind the watch. Cool.
