Resonance Watches, a First Approach

 
 By: DonCorson : October 29th, 2013-04:49
Resonance Watches, a First Approach by Don Corson Resonance watches are rare and when discussed the resonance effect is often not accepted. Always looking for a challnge, I have decided to make my next watch a resonance watch to see what is real and what ...  

Gigantic project on your hands dear Don

I wish you best of luck cos I know that knowledge is not an issue in fulfilling your new project. Eagerly looking forward to further developments and of course to "real deal" one day Sincerely Damjan

I've seen the resonance effect in person in a clock. It had dual gear trains and pendulums (one in front of the other), it's effectively two clocks, and only one of the trains had any power; yet the motion of the first pendulum was able to transfer to the... 

I am thrilled by this news

If you can bring a little science to the subject AND share it with the rest of us you will have made a fantastic contribution to the collective knowledge of horological enthusiasts and watchmakers everywhere. God speed! _john

thanks for doing this

to me the (Journe) Resonance is one of the most inspiring material things and understanding how resonance works in a mechanical watch is very exciting, especially with the controversy still surrounding it. I look forward to see this project progress! Best... 

This is a fascinating project.

Great topic Donald! Thanks! :)

I too am very interested in this phenomena

Ever since I first read of Breguet's resonance watches in The Art Of Breguet by Daniels many years ago, I've been fascinated by the phenomena of mechanical resonance in timepieces. There was a study done a few years ago on replicating Huygens's clock reso... 

Journe's Resonance movement pivots about the escape wheel

That's how it keeps the escapement functional while adjusting the distance between the balances. _john
