The Grail Watch is an important and futuristic project of contemporary watchmaking, which sees the collaboration of multiple master watchmakers and artists as we are starting to see lately, who together create a work of art on the wrist.
The collaboration between Benoît Mintiens, the founder of Ressence Watches, and the iconic Alain Silberstein, the first man to bring art, architecture and playfulness to modern watchmaking, began with the creation of the first watch, the Grail Watch 1, which is based on case of Ressence's Type 1, which is a masterpiece of formed art. The dial itself is convex following a 125mm radius, making it easy to read from all angles and beautifully sculptural. Arching is a boxed sapphire crystal that is curved in two axes and treated with a double anti-reflective coating. It was also decided to leave the case clean without the crown, which instead was replaced by a lever system like the one found on older alarm clocks on the back of its beautifully finished grade 5 titanium case. The size of the watch is 42mm, but since it's actually almost lugless, it wears like a smaller 40mm watch.
For the dial, Alain Silberstein inspired by the memento mori, the skull, as an indicator of the seconds, the flower is the indicator of the hours, the yellow triangle as an indicator of the day of the week.
And that's how the Grail Watch 1: Ressence × Alain Silberstein was born.
