An Explosion of Color: Armin Strom Presents the Tribute 1 with Smoked Dials and Guilloche Plates

Armin Strom unveils a vibrant new edition of its purest creation, the Tribute 1, with four smoked dials, each limited to ten pieces. Featuring a hand-wound movement designed and manufactured in-house, and a motorized barrel on a guilloché dial plate, the Tribute 1 Fumé combines modernity and vintage elegance.

The Tribute 1 is Armin Strom’s ode to simplicity, representing a three-hand watch of exceptional purity. Every detail is meticulously integrated, creating a harmonious, complete and absolutely unique timepiece. This model gains in sophistication with smoked dials in four vibrant hues, and guilloché dial plates, crafted in the workshop of renowned independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen.

A Limited Edition Masterpiece

The Tribute 1 Fumé is available in ten pieces of each color: ocean, slate, sky and burgundy. The sophisticated, intense smoked dials add new depth to the watch, creating a distinctive vignette effect reminiscent of the 1970s. The gradation of luminous tones in the center contrasts with the darker hues towards the edge, offering a spectacular play of light thanks to the sunburst satin-finish on the metal base.

Innovation and watchmaking expertise

Claude Greisler, co-founder and master watchmaker, explains: “The Tribute 1 represents a departure from the classic watch. With its 38 mm stainless steel case, crown positioned at 2 o’clock, and small off-center dial, harmony reigns over this asymmetry. As always with Armin Strom, the dial features an ingenious mechanical system.

The motorized barrel, held in place by an “open finger” bridge, stands out for its efficiency and space-saving design. This unique barrel offers 100 hours of power reserve, a remarkable feat for a single spring. The hand-wound AMW21 caliber is meticulously decorated, illustrating Armin Strom’s mastery of detailed finishing.

Finishing details

The soft, velvety grey alcantara calfskin strap with white stitching adds the finishing touch to the Tribute 1 Fumé.

With this limited edition, Armin Strom offers a dynamic, colorful interpretation of their classic three-hand watch, combining sophistication with horological innovation.
