Armin Strom Unveils the Ultimate Sapphire Edition of the Gravity Equal Force
Armin Strom continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking with its latest creation, the Ultimate Sapphire Edition of the Gravity Equal Force. This masterpiece combines masterful mechanics with a bold chromatic twist, featuring a striking purple guilloché-engraved mainplate crafted by none other than Kari Voutilainen.
The System 78 collection by Armin Strom epitomizes the brand’s commitment to innovative haute horlogerie. With a focus on transparency and kinetic elements, the Gravity Equal Force stands out as a technical marvel, exquisitely finished by hand. Now, with the introduction of the ‘Purple’ Ultimate Sapphire Edition, Armin Strom is elevating its craftsmanship to new heights.
The Gravity Equal Force Purple exudes a regal and electric aura, showcasing a color never before seen in Armin Strom’s repertoire. The base plate features a barley grain pattern meticulously engraved by Kari Voutilainen using a traditional rose engine lathe. The vibrant purple hue is achieved through a 3D PVD process, creating a mesmerizing interplay of tones as light dances across its surface. Adding to its allure, the small off-centred dial is crafted from transparent sapphire crystal, reserved exclusively for the Ultimate Sapphire Editions of the Gravity Equal Force. Completing the ensemble is a light grey nubuck leather strap with purple stitching and keepers, further accentuating its luxurious appeal. Limited to just 25 pieces per year, this timepiece is a true collector’s item.
At the heart of the Gravity Equal Force lies the patented equal force transmission mechanism integrated directly in the mainspring barrel. This innovative mechanism ensures consistent power transmission to the regulating organ, guaranteeing unwavering precision throughout the watch’s autonomy. The power reserve indicator, visible from the dial side, adds to the watch’s allure, while the micro-rotor with a unique click system enhances winding efficiency.
Crafted entirely within the walls of Armin Strom’s manufacturing site in Bienne, Switzerland, the Gravity Equal Force Purple exemplifies the brand’s commitment to superior chronometric performance. Every aspect of the watch, from development to decoration, is meticulously executed to meet Armin Strom’s exacting standards.
The craftsmanship displayed in the Gravity Equal Force is truly exceptional. From polished bevels to black polished screws, each component is finished to perfection by specialized watchmakers and artisans. The triplet of dark grey ruthenium-plated bridges, inspired by pocket watches, undergoes a meticulous hand-finishing process, showcasing Armin Strom’s dedication to detail.
