Heart-felt resonance
For devotees of technical marvels, the Mirrored Force Resonance by Armin Strom already resounded like the promise of a radiant future. The development of the “resonance clutch spring”, after three years of sustained endeavors, made it possible to reinvent and improve this concept first observed by Christiaan Huygens in the 17th century. The main advantage of this mechanical feat was an approximately 20% improvement in the precision of a watch by synchronizing two separate and independent (naturally in-house) movements. Two calibers also meant two potential displays. This quite logically led to the birth of the Masterpiece 1 Dual Time Resonance, and while this new configuration offers the possibility of having two barrels per movement and a larger power reserve, it also and above all features a very different design. The oval-shaped case in grade 5 titanium frames an incredible view of the fabulous oscillations of the regulating device. Below it are two delicately guilloché subdials and a 24-hour indicator appearing in an aesthetically simple, resolutely neo-classical style. A rare mechanical masterpiece that immediately resonated with our emotions and our watchmaking dreams.
