A micro-mechanical breakthrough, the Mirrored Force Resonance First Edition is the result of years of intensive research by Claude Greisler and the Armin Strom manufacture, successfully harnessing the physical phenomenon of resonance to achieve exceptional chronometric stability. The patented Resonance Clutch Spring, a cleverly designed part that connects the two hairsprings directly and permits a stable and extremely effective resonant state inside a wristwatch, is central to this invention.
The movement is showcased beneath a raised sapphire crystal 'glass box', offering a striking three-dimensional perspective. The two synchronized balance wheels and the off-center dial are visually harmonious thanks to the architecture's openworked balance bridges, which were redesigned for increased openness. The wearer can visually monitor the state of resonance by using a pusher at two o'clock to simultaneously reset the twin seconds displays, which rotate in mirrored clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
The degree of the movement's technical and artistic refinement is further demonstrated on the watch's reverse. The engraved main plate emphasizes the fundamental ideas of the Mirrored Force Resonance, drawing inspiration from the golden age of marine chronometry. The movement is constructed with two independent gear trains and energy sources, whose perfect symmetry is emphasised through a mirrored arrangement of bridges and wheels, underscoring both its technical ingenuity and visual coherence.
The Resonance Clutch Spring, which is made of a single piece of steel, is essential to the energy transfer between the two oscillators, enabling quick synchronization and sustained resonance. With faster synchronization and more stability than conventional resonance systems, this most recent generation of resonance technology is among the most effective ever created. The system also increases resistance to shocks and external disturbances by mechanically coupling the two regulating organs, which improves overall performance.
