Francois-Paul Journe is undoubtedly one of the most acclaimed independent watchmakers and the only one to win the celebrated Aiguille d’Or prize three times. This Chronomètre à Résonnance Platinum dual time zone wristwatch was introduced circa 2010. At a first glance the Resonance may deceive as a simple dual time watch. However, as its name suggests, the Resonance adopts a pair of balance wheels that not only power the two time zones displayed, but most astonishingly serve together as exciter and resonator which provides more inertia to the movement and results in greater accuracy of time. Abraham-Louis Breguet was the first to apply the principles of 'resonance' in watchmaking. The present watch is a fine and rare 2nd series Resonance with an impressive pink gold movement.
