Footnotes

Inspired by the great watch makers of the 18th century, Francois-Paul Journe invented a watch movement which is based on the physical principle of resonance: a phenomenon simultaneously scientific and poetic.

Every object has a natural frequency at which it vibrates when force is periodically applied. If this happens to two objects which have a naturally corresponding frequency, it magnifies and stabilises the vibration of both objects.

The double balance system employed in the Chronomètre à Résonance uses exactly this phenomenon to create a watch movement which even nearly 20 years after its inception is unparalleled in its accuracy in timekeeping.
