FASHION | Strikingly cool

Armin Strom, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer known for its edgy, eye-catching transparent mechanics, has launched a stunning new version of its milestone Gravity Equal Force timepiece. With its off-center grey-toned sapphire dial, the strikingly cool monochrome watch offers an extraordinary view of the exquisitely-finished manufacture movement and further enhances the brand’s reputation for its irrepressible, exuberant independence.
The timepiece stands out not only with its groundbreaking technology but by a design and craftsmanship that set it apart from every other watch:
The movement’s black plate guilloche pattern was created by hand by the celebrated Finnish watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, a close friend of Armin Strom’s founders.The off-center grey-toned sapphire dial offers an unobstructed view of the fascinating mechanics inside the case and emphasises the brand’s passion for transparent mechanics, which are at the core of its design philosophy. The bridges are coated with dark grey ruthenium; the barrel and the micro rotor are coated with rhodium.The Gravity Equal Force’s ASB19 movement includes a “stop work” mechanism that prevents the mainspring from fully unwinding, thus leveraging only the part of the mainspring’s unwinding process that can deliver power most consistently.
