INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Resonance is a well-documented pheno-
menon in physics. Two oscillators in close
proximity tend to influence each other and
eventually synchronize.
Back to the 17
th
century, Huygens was the
first to observe the synchronization of
pendulum clocks hanging from a common
wood beam. Since then, the phenome-
non has fascinated many watchmakers. But
resonance has rarely been attempted,
let alone mastered. Most research has ge-
nerally focused on uniting two movements
and adjusting the distance between
their balance wheels.
RESONANCE
But with its Mirrored Force Resonance
concept, Armin Strom proposes one of the
most spectacular and innovative appli-
cations of the resonance phenomenon in
watchmaking. The radical innovation
lies in its coupling mechanism. The twin
balances are joined together by a steel
coupling spring. The tiny vibrations in
the spring cause them to resonate and
synchronize. Oscillating at opposing rhy-
thms, they mutually correct their rate
differences to achieve enhanced marine
chronometer precision and stability of
rate!
Thank you for buying an Armin Strom
watch. To guarantee perfect working of
your watch for many years to come, plea-
se pay careful attention to the advice on
use set out in these instruction The hand-wound calibre ARF17 consists
of two movements built on the same
mainplate. Each one has its own barrel,
gear train and regulator to display an
independent time zone.
