ARMIN STROM
Mirrored Force Resonance – Manufacture Edition Green
This newest addition to the highly technical Armin Strom collection sports a stunning green grenage dial .
Nicely matched with a grey synthetic suede ‘ Alcantara ’ strap , this limited edition ( of fifty pieces ) again highlights the independent watchmaker ’ s unusual resonance-based in-house movement that teams two balance wheels linked to create heightened chronometric precision and consistency .
The key to Armin Strom ’ s mastery of resonance in a wristwatch is the Armin Strom Resonance Clutch Spring , a tuning-fork-shaped metallic spring first seen in the 2016 Armin Strom Mirrored Force Resonance .
Set between the two oscillators on the left side of the dial , the Clutch Spring synchronizes the two movements as they keep time for the offset green dials .
Resonance , a technically difficult and hard to regulate technique used by only a few other watchmakers , essentially means the two movements become synchronized as they operate . This creates a highly stable timekeeping rate that heightens the watch ’ s overall precision . When two movements resonate , overall operating efficiency improves while the potential of shock-inflicted error diminishes .
Armin Strom explains that it was inspired to create the new green hue by some vintage equipment at its atelier .
All the components within the 43mm steel watch are hand-polished . The dial side surfaces are also hand-finished with frosted , perlaged or circular-grained finishes . Armin Strom also assembled its movements twice “ to ensure an uncompromising commitment to quality .”
