Resonance watches are an extremely small sub-set of horology, and with good reason: they are notoriously difficult to manufacture and, just as importantly, to regulate. The idea was perhaps most famously experimented with by the French watch and clockmaker Antide Janvier (1751-1835) and by Breguet, whose resonance watches provided the impetus for those made in the modern era by F. P. Journe. The basic idea is to take advantage of the fact that two oscillators (such as two balance wheels or two pendulums) which have the same natural frequency, and which are somehow mechanically coupled, will start to beat in time with one another. The two oscillators will be more resistant to disruption of their rate together, than apart, and with better rate stability there should be better accuracy.
