Armin Strom One Week Manufacture Edition – Watchmaking excellence in shades of anthracite
A limited edition of 100 pieces celebrating 15 years of the independent manufacturer
Armin Strom unveils the One Week Manufacture Edition, an exceptional creation that pays tribute to its very first in-house movement, launched in 2010. This watch, limited to 100 pieces, embodies the philosophy of the Swiss brand: architectural design, high-precision mechanics and total independence thanks to an in-house manufacture in Biel since 2009.
An openwork, three-dimensional design for a contemporary aesthetic
The One Week Manufacture Edition reinterprets Armin Strom’s legendary manual caliber in a modernized, more daring and resolutely three-dimensional version. It is distinguished by an openwork construction and a monochrome anthracite PVD exterior, revealing the fascinating complexity of its mechanism.
The 41 mm stainless steel case, teamed with a perfectly fitted integrated bracelet, emphasizes the balance between elegance and sportiness. The entirely open dial reveals two symmetrical barrels, guaranteeing a seven-day power reserve, a technical signature that marked the brand’s beginnings.
A conical power reserve inspired by pocket watches
The centerpiece of the caliber ARM21 movement, the conical power-reserve indicator incorporates a rare complication inspired by period pocket watches. A true kinetic sculpture, the mirror-polished cone interacts with a conical gear train to offer a unique three-dimensional display.
This mechanism, coupled with an optimized frequency of 3.5 Hz (25,200 vibrations/hour), ensures increased chronometric stability, demonstrating the constant evolution of the manufacture in the field of the Science of Movement, the brand’s founding concept.
Exceptional craftsmanship
Each component of the One Week Manufacture Edition is meticulously hand-decorated according to the highest standards of Swiss haute horlogerie: polished angles, mirrored screws, circular graining, Côtes de Genève, and straight-grained finishing. Visual depth is accentuated by a small seconds display at 9 o’clock on a black disk adorned with the “AS” logo, while the faceted central hands, coated with Super-LumiNova, guarantee optimal legibility.
Contemporary ergonomics for daily wear
Despite the complexity of its architecture, the watch offers remarkably balanced proportions: only 10.6 mm thick, with a compact and comfortable steel case. The integrated bracelet, made up of satin-finished and polished H-shaped links, contributes to perfect ergonomics and smooth and sophisticated daily wear.
