Question about the Resonance
I went to a NYC AD and the salesman explained that the Resonance is set to one time zone on both dials and the actual time is the mid-point between the two....???? Last night I read on this site that it is set for two time zones and the two dials are syncronized by Resonance. Can someone explain?

Hopefully somebody with far more knowledge.........
Will come along soon Angelo and answer your question. All I can say for a fact is that the two dials can either be set to one time or can run independently of each other.
Funny description
The resonance has 2 dials and both can eb set independently of each other for 2 different time zones. In fact you can set any times you want, eg 3pm on the left dial and 8.37 on the other dial. Its totally up to you how you set it
That's good!
I'm happy to hear the minute hands are not connected. Just incase if I wanted to go to India which is GMT + 4:30 with my home-time set at GMT - 8:00 (California, USA) I always assumed they weren't connected because there are two crowns. I am assuming that...
halfhour TZs and a hidden chrono
There are a lot more of these around than you might expect! Setting is as simple as possible, requiring no rare and expensive complication. But the second independent dial face can be used as a kind of chrono!! Set it to 12:00 and is will display the elap...
Thanks guys
I wish the salesman was pulling my leg, but I can assure you that he spent at least 20 min trying to explain the watch. MORE TRAING NEEDED AT THE ADs! Thanks to you all!

Since I'm originally from NY and know the AD I can only LOL. You can set the Resonance either to have both dials read the same time or be different. The Resonance is certainly useful to display two time zones. With a quick pull of the crown at 4 o'clock y...
I think the saleman is right
This watch can be considered as a combination of 2 independent twin movement which were born under a hight accurate adjustment (~same DNA). In it, there is a pinion to let them communicate to each other. Let think them as 2 swings in playground but they w...
