A year ago, Vianney Halter unveiled the Deep Space Resonance Tourbillon, one of the most complex and extravagant takes on the principle of resonance in which a single mainspring drives a triple-axis tourbillon that houses a pair of balance wheels and escapements. Power is distributed to each set of gears and escapement via a differential, ensuring both systems are operating independently from each other in order for the vibrational effects of resonance to occur solely via a shared cage with a pillar-type construction. Now he has gone on to introduce a simpler, more practical but no less fascinating resonance watch simply called La Resonance.
Though the watch has a conventionally round case, the movement is vividly airy in construction, which intriguingly, creates a false sense of simplicity, so much so that a cursory glance at La Resonance might leave you thinking it’s
