Armin Strom expands its Gravity Equal Force collection with a stunning new version, the Ultimate Sapphire Blue, which combines watchmaking innovation with a refreshing aesthetic inspired by alpine lakes. This new model stands out as an exceptional timepiece, both for its technical prowess and its visual identity.
The 41 mm stainless steel case, with its satin-brushed and polished finishes, retains the collection's signature proportions while ensuring a strong wrist presence. At 12.65 mm thick, the watch remains well-balanced despite its wealth of mechanical details. The blue nubuck leather strap harmonises naturally with the cool tone of the mainplate, reinforcing the impression of a timepiece designed for lovers of sophisticated mechanics and meticulous design.
The dial, or rather the lack of a traditional dial, is one of the highlights of this watch. A smoked sapphire disc hosts the off-centre display of the hours, minutes, and small seconds. In the background, the mainplate features hand-guilloché work by Kari Voutilainen in an icy blue achieved through PVD treatment. This complex surface, both technical and poetic, evokes the shifting reflections of alpine ice under the sun. The result is striking, simultaneously contemporary and delicately textured.
To the right of the dial, the mechanical architecture reveals its ingenuity. Three open bridges allow for the observation of key components of the ASB19 calibre: the equal-force barrel, the micro-rotor, and the winding gear. This patented equal-force mechanism, utilizing a Maltese cross, ensures a consistent delivery of power throughout the 72-hour power reserve. It is a rare technical feat, designed to guarantee remarkable chronometric stability throughout its operation.
The movement is entirely developed and assembled in the Armin Strom workshops in Bienne. It is hand-finished to the highest standards: meticulous chamfering, mirror-polished screws, perlage, Côtes de Genève, and a two-stage assembly process for absolute quality control. The sapphire caseback allows these details to be admired from another angle, offering a continuous spectacle for enthusiasts of pure watchmaking.
Limited to just 25 pieces per year, this Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire Blue perfectly embodies Armin Strom's DNA. It is a watch for discerning collectors, for those seeking genuine technical innovation, impeccable finishing, and a resolutely distinct aesthetic. It stands as a work of contemporary horology, as cool as it is precise, as rare as it is masterfully crafted.
