I think you should go with the Resonance.  I own both pieces, and while they each have their own special qualities,  if I had to keep only one, it would be the Resonance.  I believe that Patek will come out with a perpetual/mono chronograph sooner or later and it will upstage the annual calendar version.  The Resonance, on the other hand, is unique in what it purports to do and will never suffer from a "better version" dilemma.  Just my two cents.

So seems like you are leaning toward a Journe as it is. I don't own a Lange or a Patek, but I did look at both brands quite seriously before purchasing my first FP Journe(and second/third). I think Lange makes awesome watches, but I just didn't like the w...

interesting selection: in my view and I own examples of each brand (PP, FP, and Lange), I would break it down by a few select criteria which you can prioritize based on your own view: 1. Resale value - clearly patek 5960 is the best in terms of value rete... 

Resonance not the same complication as Duality

The Resonance has two escapements and they actually belong to two individual movements side by side, sharing the same main barrel. The purpose of the two movements is to have each escapement close by therefore allowing them to vibrate in harmony via the p...

for MY money buys the Resonance, as said by all, a unique contribution to horology. A stroke (more like a habit) of genius.

Thanks for the advise guys
