The Chronomètre à Résonance model was launched in 2000, the only wristwatch in the world based on resonance, a natural physical phenomenon. The two balances are synchronized by means of the resonance effect and naturally beat alternately. The negative effects of wrist and body movements are hence considerably reduced.

A second version appeared in 2004 with the first movement to ever be made in 18k pink gold, as seen with the present watch. This generation has now been discontinued with the offering of a third version debuted this year on the model's 10th anniversary that now includes 24 hour indication.
