F.P. Journe

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 ... 

... 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 (.... 

... 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... 

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 na... 

to get a discussion on the technical aspects of the Resonance going and will post it here once I am done. Thanks for the feedback and the friendly comments, Andreas
