THE F.P.JOURNE CHRONOMÈTRE À RÉSONANCE CELEBRATES ITS 20TH ANNIVERSARY

We are pleased to share with you this short movie of the exhibition highlights, dedicated to all admirers of haute horology who could not travel to Geneva for the event.

Discover a display of Résonance prototypes, rare pieces and limited series, from the early 1983 pocket watch movement to the new 2020 Chronomètre à Résonance with 2 « remontoirs d’égalité ».

The first observations pertaining to the natural resonance phenomenon were made by 17th century Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens, followed by 18th century horologists Antide Janvier and Abraham-Louis Breguet, who developed timepieces based upon this principle. Since then, François-Paul Journe presented his first Résonance wristwatch in 2000, it was baptized Résonance under the patented brand name Résonance®.

The F.P.Journe Chronomètre à Résonance is the only wristwatch in the world that utilizes the natural physical phenomenon of resonance without any mechanical transmission, previously known as double pendulum or double balance.
