About This Watch

Pre-owned. Comes with orig. boxes & dated paper. 1 owner's watch in mint condition with only very mild hairlines on bezel but no dents & overall condition=98% excellent. The orig. strap is also lightly used so you don't need to change it. This is the larger model with the new solid gold movement. Not much discount is given to this brand so you do get a huge saving when buying them pre-owned. The Resonance is also a very rare watch in the pre-owned world. We've sold 4 pieces so far & this is the fifth over several years.

The wristwatch Resonance is invented by FP Journe who observed this phenomenom which is usually found in pendulum clocks. A pendulum clock enters resonance & stops due to the driving weight suspended from it's cords. Antide Janvier discovered that by having two pendulums from one movement, it compensates the energy expanded & beats together @ the same constant force, thus "entering resonance".

FP Journe's "Chronomètre à Résonance" wristwatch uses the same principle. The objective is to achieve a constant rate in a watch exposed to movements on the wrist. The double synchronised balances compliments each other by compensating & absorbing; when one is slowed, the other speeds up & a common frequency is achieved at all times. It took more than twenty years of research & development and is the first wristwatch to achieve this in a century of wrist-watchmaking.
