To mark its anniversary, Ressence presents the book "Ahead of Time" featuring portraits of 20 creative leaders.

The Belgian brand Ressence aims to generate conversation about its watches. Therefore, they encourage eye-catching designs. However, they prefer not to talk about themselves. At least, that's the impression given by this book celebrating Ressence's 15th anniversary.

In it, the brand Ressence, founded by Benoît Mintiens, looks outwards and publishes a book that portrays 20 creative leaders who are shaping the future.

„Ahead of Time“ It calls on some of the most visionary minds of our time – including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia and Kering CEO Luca de Meo – to envision our shared future.

„This book isn’t about watchmaking, but about ways of thinking,“ explains Benoît Mintiens. „Instead of looking back to the past, it was more important for us to be inspired by others – by people who share our brand values and are shaping a better future with imagination, purpose and determination.“

The elaborately designed book, created in collaboration with the Belgian publisher Luster, comprises over 230 pages and costs €35.
