Gear this week: A modern mechanical watch, an ISO 819,200 camera, IKEA, and more

Ressence Type 2 e-Crown Concept Watch

The Ressence Type 2 e-Crown marries the best of mechanical and modern horological designs. The watch can function in one of three ways. In full e-Crown, a smartphone app keeps it accurate to the second. In semi e-Crown it’s kept accurate to the minute. And in mechanical mode the watch runs without help. Right now, the e-Crown is a concept, but a production version is expected later this year.

Pentax K-1 Mark II

The K-1 Mark II is Pentax’s newest full-frame DSLR, with the ability to shoot up to a whopping ISO 819,200. The camera uses the same 36.4MP sensor as the K-1 Mark I, and also without an AA filter. A new Pixel Shift Resolution System II allows the camera to take four images of the same scene and synthesize them into a single, high-resolution image. All without the need for a tripod.
