It looks inventive and complex, but I do not understand it. No offence.

For me it is a mistery why the creator emphasises that it is acoustic, rather than mechanical, resonance / coupling in a 2 cm thick watch where the balance wheels are seen connected to the same complex mechanical "scaffolding".
I remember listening to a FP Journe lecture online, I believe it was on a horological society in NY, and he also stressed that the phenomenon of resonance was acoustic, and how important the distance between balance wheels was, but I also failed to understand then why resonance between two balance wheels that are ultimately connected physically through bridges and plates, is an acoustic phenomenon, or why it matters that it is so.
I would value an explanation from the experts in this forum.

Well, resonance is resonance...

Well, resonance is resonance. It relies on physics anyway. Personaly, I'd rather call it mechanical because it is compression waves at the base level. Now regarding (1) the distance between wheels or (2) sound transmission through mainplate/bridges, I "do...
Thank you, Steyr

This makes perfect sense. I find it easier to see the "mechanical" connection between the balance wheels in Armin Strom's design. Perhaps it adds "mystery" to the complication to have an ethereal, intangible (acoustic) connection between the balance wheel...

the lower opening is indicating the minutes offset to be added to the upper indication (hour+current quarter). And talking about a "double escapement" is kind of an abrupt shorcut considering that in fact, both balance wheels are synchronized through the ...
The prototype display

is a simplified display that is telling the hour and the quarter in the upper opening and the minute offset (+0 to +15) in the lower one. The minute can be read with the unit that is showing the matching line. It is the principle that is used on calipers,...

...I believe this one is just incredible ! Glad to see the finished piece complete now after I had the opportunity to see the movement prototype (at least the central module) last summer. Idid take pics but it was too ealy to show the module, all I could ...
