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. But with its Mirrored
Force Resonance concept, Armin Strom
proposes one of the most spectacular and
innovative applications 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 rhythms, they mutually correct
their rate differences to achieve enhanced
marine chronometer precision and sta-
bility of rate! A state of Resonance so resi-
lient that it can withstand the gongs of a
minute repeater.
Resonance is also a concept used in sound
to describe its quality as deep, full and
reverberating. From there came the idea
of creating a minute repeater (which
chimes the time) regulated by resonant
oscillators. A world first.
