| chronomètre à résonance françois-paul journe pays tribute to the research conducted on resonance by the great 18th century watchmakers with the presentation of the first wristwatch resonance chronometer first unveiled in the year 2000 this watch represents one of the wildest challenges ever in the field of the mechanical watch using the natural phenomenon of resonance this mechanism revolutionises established standards and offers a previously unmatched degree of precision in mechanical wristwatches the first research on the phenomenon of research in horological science dates back to the 18th century ... | |

| chronomètre à résonance two centuries later françois-paul journe took up the challenge with a first creation in the form of a pocket-watch which did not yet perform according to his expectations it would take fifteen more years of work for the watchmaker to gain the maturity and the experience to enable him to present an exclusive world première the first resonance wristwatch he devised developed and built this movement to meet the demands of actual wear on the wrist and thereby provide chronometric performance driven to extremes each of the two balances alternately serves as exciter and resonator ... | |
| when we are looking for a programme on the radio it crackles until the chosen wavelengths meet those of the transmitter only then do they harmonise to begin resonating together resonance concerns all fields including those related to mechanical engineering music and human beings as confirmed by musician keith jarrett in our first catalogue this is particularly obvious in music since lutes and sitars for example have strings whose only reason for existence is to vibrate by resonance the musician never touches them despite their proximity to the strings that are plucked this exceptional watch now ... | |

| the deadbeat seconds device or the art of making time stand still towards the late 17th century as clocks were becoming increasingly precise watchmakers added a hand finally enabling them to measure seconds these clocks which became pendulum clocks thanks to the invention of the pendular balance by the dutch watchmaker huygens were almost naturally equipped with a 1 metre-long balance with a period of 1 second the dial was marked out into 60 subdivisions so that the hand could jump from one second to the next when the first watches indicating seconds were made some 18th century watchmakers ... | |
