It&#8217;s called the Ressence Type 3 and it&#8217;s actually a liquid-filled mechanical watch with a nearly featureless face. Each of those dials &#8211; registers in the parlance &#8211; look like they are seamlessly embedded in the face surface and the watch, being suspended in synthetic oil, has no crown and is wound automatically.<\/p>\n<p>Arguably the movement itself isn&#8217;t very special &#8211; it&#8217;s a standard timekeeper that displays the date and includes a rotating seconds wheel &#8211; but the way the entire package is put together is a feat of horology. The sapphire crystal surrounds the face almost completely and the back of the watch hides the manual winding mechanism and a switch that allows you to change the time. <\/p>\n<p>On the wrist, the watch looks like a blob of liquid with markings suspended in it. It&#8217;s as if you were wearing a slug of liquid metal or a dollop of crude oil. The entire face spins (you can <a  href=\"http:\/\/ressence.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/ressence\/clock\/index.html\">see it in action here<\/a>) and a pressure valve compensates for temperature-related changes in the liquid.<\/p>\n<p>You can see <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.ablogtowatch.com\/ressence-type-3-liquid-filled-watch-hands-on-2\/\">hands-on photos right here<\/a> or <a  href=\"http:\/\/ressence.eu\/type3_promo2\/\">visit the product page<\/a>. The watch, sadly, costs $34,000 and comes in a wildly limited edition but it may be worth it just to say that your watch is literally full of alien liquids.<\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/tctechcrunch2011.wordpress.com\/803568\/\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=iXa2jNnyszI:B3hhNdvRnwA:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=iXa2jNnyszI:B3hhNdvRnwA:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=iXa2jNnyszI:B3hhNdvRnwA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=iXa2jNnyszI:B3hhNdvRnwA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=iXa2jNnyszI:B3hhNdvRnwA:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because I like sharing cool watches with you guys I decided to share this cool watch with you guys.
