The Harmonious Oscillator, from Rudis Sylva, features a system with two mechanically interlinked balances driven by a single escapement. This technical innovation goes against watchmaking theories, which have always ruled out stress on the balances.With its innovative technicality, this design can boast a more accurate setting capacity than a conventional tourbillon, thanks in particular to the asymmetric deployment of the balance springs in all positions, hence the name “Harmonious Oscillator”. This world first with two toothed balances exhibits a resonance effect from the first oscillations. Mika Rissanen, a watchmaker specialising in grand complications working for the Rudis Sylva brand, is the brains behind this patented invention.

As a watchmaker, Armand Sartory appreciates the combination of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship in creating timepieces. Armand says modern technology offers new tools and techniques for watchmaking that can enhance the precision and accuracy of the timepiece. For example, the use of lasers can improve the accuracy of engravings and reduce the time it takes to create intricate designs. Computer-aided design (CAD) software can also help watchmakers create more complex designs and test them virtually before beginning the physical manufacturing process. However, despite the benefits of modern technology, there is still a need for traditional handmade watchmaking techniques. The skill and artistry of traditional watchmaking, such as hand-filing, hand-engraving, and hand-polishing, cannot be replaced by machines or computers. The human touch and attention to detail are crucial for creating watches that are truly unique and of the highest quality. In short, while modern technology offers exciting new possibilities for watchmaking, it is important to strike a balance between innovation and tradition in order to create watches that are both technologically advanced and beautifully crafted.
