ARMIN STROM — Watchmaking That Shows Its Mechanics
ARMIN STROM places the movement itself at the centre of its design, building watches that let the mechanics
be seen.
Its own resonance technology, which sets two movements oscillating in harmony, has earned the brand the
attention of collectors worldwide.
Here we introduce the appeal of ARMIN STROM.
What is ARMIN STROM?
ARMIN STROM is an independent luxury watch brand with its own manufacture in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland.
Its guiding philosophy is simple: “Mechanics tell time. Transparent mechanics tell the difference.” By
opening up the dial to reveal the power barrel, the escapement and the rest of the mechanism, each watch puts
the handwork and precision behind it on full display.
Almost every movement component is produced in-house, and annual output is deliberately kept small. Each
watch is assembled twice, and the manufacture masters some 90 movement-decoration techniques under its own
roof.
History of ARMIN STROM
The name belongs to Armin Strom himself, a master watchmaker celebrated for his skeletonising work, who
started the workshop that carried his name in 1967.
The Michel family acquired the brand in 2006, and in 2009 Serge Michel and master watchmaker Claude Greisler
established a fully integrated manufacture in Biel/Bienne. A run of in-house calibres followed, among them
the Mirrored Force Resonance, which links two independent movements through a patented clutch.
ARMIN STROM’s most popular items
The Tribute 1 Green. A dress watch whose off-centre dial, hand-engraved with a grain d’orge guilloche,
echoes the deep greens of forest and field. The open power barrel keeps the mechanics in view on this 38mm
hand-wound model, which holds a 100-hour power reserve.

The Mirrored Force Resonance Red. The brand’s signature piece joins two independent movements — each with
its own barrel, gear train and escapement — through a patented resonance clutch. The two balances exchange
their vibrations and settle into harmony, something only ARMIN STROM offers.

The Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire Blue. A patented equal force barrel keeps the power delivered to
the balance constant across the full 72-hour reserve. A transparent sapphire dial set asymmetrically to the
left gives the watch the cool, glacial character it is named for.
