Nytt Berkus prosjekt ( del 1)
Som nevnt tidligere ble jeg spurt av min gode klokkevenn @guy2watch om jeg ville bli med på å lage hver vår unike resonans klokke med Berkus. En fantastisk komplikasjon og mulighet, noe jeg ikke kunne si nei til.
I tråden her skal jeg forsøke å dele prosessen ( som har pågått nesten 2 år nå) og hvordan det er å lage en klokke fra scratch med en urmaker. Veldig anderledes en fra å gå til urmaker/ forhandler….
Utrolig gøy prosess!

Despite its long history, watches incorporating the phenomenon of resonance remain few and far between, and for practical reasons. They are complex and costly to produce, effectively being two movements in one watch, thus requiring twice the number of wheels and pinions. Beyond that, you’re faced with the fact that the pairing forces between two oscillators in a moving object are small and weak. Matching them is a painstakingly complex task and coupling them is equally challenging.
As such, they are almost not worth the effort when comparing with conventional, micro but sufficiently reliable alternatives used in modern watchmaking to achieve a greater rate stability. At the same time, research and effort in this domain is a claim to fame when it yields results. It is remarkably fascinating to see the concept of forced oscillations taken further with clever enhancements by a diverse handful of independent watchmakers. Regardless of how the effort may seem to outweigh its practical effect, it still does not detract from the ingenious engineering involved in constructing movements conducive enough to host the phenomenon. Beyond that, harnessing and manipulating a phenomenon that occurs in nature to benefit timekeeping is something truly special and falls nothing short of wizardry.
