Two adjacent vibrating bodies influence each other and eventually synchronize—a physical phenomenon known as resonance. Since 2016, ARMIN STROM has been selling the Mirrored Force Resonance, a model whose intriguing mechanism is fully visible on the dial and aims to achieve the highest precision with a resonating dual regulator. At this event, you'll be able to see a demonstration of the assembly of the company's patented resonance movement, as well as hear an explanation of the resonance system from Claude Greisler (co-founder and head of development). A one-off model custom-made by the Hourglass Ginza store will also be unveiled. We hope you'll feel free to join us.

The phenomenon of clock synchronization has fascinated watchmakers since the time of Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695). Huygens, the inventor of the pendulum clock, was the first to discover that two separate pendulum clocks could resonate with each other. Subsequent research revealed that the wooden beam on which the pendulums hang vibrates, creating resonance. In the 18th century, Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823) successfully created a clock that utilized the resonance phenomenon between two pendulums. However, resonance requires extremely sophisticated and labor-intensive watchmaking techniques, and today only two manufacturers are actively engaged in, let alone mastering, this technology.
