A pair in Resonance.
As best as I know there are four watches in the market that are said to have Resonance movements. Here is 50% of them. The Armin Strom and the FPJ.
The Armin Strom utilizes a clutch spring to keep the two movements in Resonance. A truly magical piece. Fascinating to watch the movement as the Springs move in harmony back and forth. The two second hand dials are mirror images of each other and does take a moment to get used to. They are in perfect harmony.
Then there is the FPJ Resonance that we all know about. Resonance is based on the proximity of the two escape wheels on the reverse side. I told that in a vacuum environment the watch will not achieve Resonance.
The only 2 other watches that I know of that have a resonance feature are the Duality by Dufour (thought I'm not quite sure that it has true resonance) and the Haldiman dual tourb.
Cheers.

Like you said there is the FP Journe Resonance, Armin Strom and Haldimann H2. It is indeed a very rare complication. I am not sure if Rudis Sylva version is a resonance though. From what I understand, the two balance wheels mesh with one another. It sound...
