Overview

To mark its 15th anniversary, watch brand Ressence will publish Ahead of Time.

In the book, entrepreneurial visionaries share their perspectives on the future within their respective fields creating an inspiring, collectable volume that offers a positive, informed perspective on where we are all heading. Former Monocle journalist Nolan Giles interviews Daniel Libeskind, Joe Gebbia, Stefan Sagmeister, Tony Fadell (Nest), Ivy Ross (Google), Spencer Bailey (journalist, co-founder of The Slowdown), Tina Fordham (geopolitical strategist and adviser), Phil Schiller (Apple), and 12 others. SELLING POINTS: . Cutting-edge insights from visionary leaders across industries . Beautifully finished with rounded corners and coloured edges. A true collector's item

Reviews

""For its 15th anniversary, Ressence made another unexpected move by publishing Ahead of Time ($35, Luster), a superb book that, instead of directly celebrating the brand’s timepieces and history, celebrates the entire idea of what’s to come, not just in the watch industry but across many fields."" - Watchonista
