It is hard to measure

The title of this post truly reflects the situation, I believe. There were multiple attempts in the past to create high-frequency movements. Chopard 8HF and Zenith Defy Inventor come to mind. There is also DeBethune Resonique, but it is a design exercise ...  

This is a super interesting vibrating watch!

I've seen this watch in person and the way it oscillates is definitely very unusual and very interesting! A static photo doesn't do this justice!

very cool piece...

I think FC is heading in the right direction, but will need to make sure they are heard by the public. -Dean

Number 1 in much countries! A song from the Golden Earring. I bought my FC because of the chauvinism that comes with it. The ten of thousands that Grönefeld ask for their superior watches, was so painful for me that FC was a relief to get a Dutch watch wi...

Thanks. You have to compare the position of the hands

visually with the reference time of a precise radio controlled clock.

Fantastic innovation.

I absolutely adore this idea. To me it is a lot more appealing than most complicated watches. I hope more brands embrace it.
