Getting technical
I would love to see a more technical explanation of the phenomenon utilized by the watch. If I recall correctly, resonance in physics is generally a state of oscillation where control is lost; for example when an oscillator is pumped at or near its own natural frequency, it's behavior becomes very wild. I suspect that the Resonance mechanism is actually evidencing a "mutual interaction" of sorts between the two oscillators that is naturally self-correcting. However, the detailed mechanics of this are hard to locate so any technical insights by anyone with more information would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. Congratulations on your new acquisition - it's on my short list as well but I've noted that the short list is actually fairly long now. I would like to see the new model with red font on the analog dial as I think this makes it considerably more attractive than the all-black prototype of the same and a comparison to the "classic" version would be interesting to have. In any case, congratulations on a great watch.

of straight wear my Resonance was out of resonance today! A very impressive feat of engineering but still my heart missed a beat when I saw the seconds hands two seconds apart! It gained about 15 seconds during those not quite three weeks. What is your ex...

Hi Andreas, Interestingly, I was about to ask the same question of other Resonance owners. You beat me to it! From experience, the two second hands go out of sync in about 3 weeks, by about 1 second. Then I'll have to reset it. The gain of 1 minute takes ...
No answer, but...

... belated congratulations, Andreas, on finding and acquiring the piece that you have been so set on having. That's the perfect combination - but you would expect that comment, wouldn't you? ;-) Is it all that you hoped and expected it would be? Enjoy (....
Thanks ...

... yes, it is all I hoped for! It is so satisfying on so many levels, but most of all I am stil blown away by the fact that human ingenuity can keep these gears in perfect harmony for weeks without a material link (OK, other than the vibrations of the ba...
