About the watch:

F.P.Journe commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Chronomètre à Résonance with a unique version that will only be manufactured throughout the year 2019. The timepiece showcases a unique dial design: the 3 o'clock dial upholds a standard 12-hour display, while the 9 o'clock dial, a unique aspect of this edition, houses a 24-hour analog display.

Beneath its elegant exterior lies a complex 18K rose gold mechanism, the twin hearts of its intricate mechanics that work in perfect synchronization to provide unparalleled accuracy in a wristwatch, visible through a sapphire crystal back case.

The Chronomètre à Résonance 2019 edition comes in two variations: one has a platinum casing with a white gold dial, while the other is entirely in 18K 6N gold. Moreover, the two Silver guilloche Clous de Paris dials showcasing the hours and minutes can also function to represent two different time zones.

The Chronomètre à Résonance, even after 18 years, holds a deep poetic allure and stands as the epitome of precision in the realm of modern watchmaking.

The phenomenon of resonance can be explained as the harmonization of two distinct frequencies. Any object in motion transmits vibrations to its surroundings. When another object absorbs these vibrations, it commences vibrating at an identical frequency. The initial object is the 'exciter,' and the subsequent one is the 'resonator.' This natural process, known as 'resonance,' subtly permeates our everyday life, often going unnoticed.

For instance, when tuning into a radio station, there's a crackle until the receiver's frequency aligns with the transmitter's wavelength, leading to a harmonious resonance.

Resonance pervades numerous fields, including mechanical engineering, music, and even humans. Musician Keith Jarrett highlighted this in our first catalog, stating that in music, some instruments like lutes and sitars possess strings that are solely designed to vibrate by resonance, despite the musician never physically touching them, signifying their proximity to the plucked strings.
