Yin-Yang Watches-Collection
Yin Yang Watches: A dynamic harmony
The concept of Yin and Yang originates from Daoism and describes polar opposite yet complementary forces. Residence incorporates this motif of dynamic harmony in the form of a uniquely designed watch collection.Life consists of contrasts. This is expressed in the world of thoughts and feelings of people and is reflected in the everyday life of each individual.
In Daoism, Yin and Yang is an important concept to describe the togetherness and transformation of opposites: These opposites include the feminine and masculine, passivity and activity, and darkness and light.The symbol found its way into the Western world in the 20th century and since then it has been impossible to imagine fashion, design and pop culture without it.On a visual level, Residence's Yin Yang Edition focuses entirely on the balance of these very opposites and the principle of inner harmony: both the wristwatches and the pocket watches convey elegance and richness of detail - without being overly ostentatious.
The WristwatchThe automatic wristwatch is available in rose gold or silver, with a circumference of 37 - 44 mm. The skeletonized movement is complemented by a day and night indicator and a Breguet hand. The leather strap comes in warm brown tones or plain black.
The Pocket-WatchThe Yin Yang pocket watch is also available in gold and silver. The design is the same as the wristwatch, but the subtle rounded shape of the watch case makes it more comfortable to carry in your pocket. The chain is simple and is excellent for visually accentuating level and subtlety.
We introduce the personalities behind the service
As a Swiss family business, every employee of ours has an individual area of responsibility, which he shapes through his skills, character and way of working.
Two of the most important areas for us are watchmaking and sales along with customer service. We are pleased to introduce you to the faces that characterize these sectors:
On the right side you can see Michel Maurer. He is responsible for the quality, finishing and repair service of the watches. With his many years of experience and his passion, he can make virtually any watch work, from small to large and from old to new. Michel Maurer enjoys a high reputation in the Swiss watchmaking industry – and we are grateful to have such a great name among our ranks: Michel Maurer works for the company for over 35 years and has contributed greatly to the development and success of the brand.
On the left side we introduce Michael Ripamonti. He is responsible for the customer-service as well as sales and gladly accepts your requests: He helps you wherever he can to offer you the best possible service. You can communicate with him in Swiss German, German, French, Italian and English. In written correspondences he can also assist you in many other languages.
Cross-Generational Partnership
