The twin balance wheels of the Armin Strom 
Minute Repeater Resonance oscillate in 
opposite direction. If you have not worn 
your watch for some time and restart it by 
manually winding it, the oscillators will 
synchronize in less than ten minutes. In 
case of a disturbance such as a shock, it 
takes only a few minutes for the two balan-
ces to find their resonant rhythm once 
again.
