Armin Strom delivers its interpretation of a phenomenon whose application in watchmaking is so complex it has rarely been attempted in past centuries: that phenomenon is resonance, whereby two balance wheels oscillating in close proximity influence each other and ultimately synchronise. By mutually compensating rate error, they increase the watch’s precision, reduce the negative effects on accuracy of outside factors such as shocks, and conserve energy. Armin Strom offers visual proof of this phenomenon by way of a patented resonance clutch spring that connects the two regulators. They enter into resonance as they rotate in opposite directions. This impressive feat of horological mechanics can be admired on the dial side.
