Formex Essence 39 — The Next Evolution

Formex began with a clear idea: bringing motorsport engineering into watchmaking. In this short film, CEO Raphaël Granito looks back at how this idea came together with his family’s decades of experience developing and manufacturing watch components. He traces the evolution of the Essence from its original 43 mm Kickstarter launch in 2018 to the different sizes and advanced materials that followed, and explains how it became our bestselling watch and a cornerstone of the Formex collection.
