A groundbreaking mechanical achievement, now in Rose Gold
The Armin Strom Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire Rose Gold introduces a sophisticated interplay of meticulous hand-finishes, warm gold tones and distinctive case architecture. Its sculptural movement architecture is housed in a full 18K rose gold case, contrasting gently with a brown guilloché mainplate and rose gold-colored bridges. The off-centre sapphire dial appears to float above this composition, while the matte brown nubuck strap brings a subtle, earthy counterpoint. This precise assembly of tones results in a watch that feels effortlessly coherent — where every element supports the next and nothing is left to chance.
A key innovation, exclusive to Armin Strom's System 78 collection watches, is the very first implementation of a “stop-work” declutch mechanism to be deployed in combination with an automatic movement. Typically seen only in haute-horology timepieces that are orders of magnitude more expensive, a “stop work” mechanism offers the benefit of more consistent energy transmission. To fully understand the benefit of this mechanism, one must first understand why an ordinary watch will not run at a consistent rate throughout the duration of its power reserve. The problem begins with the mainspring that inhabits every mechanical timepiece. A mainspring is a tightly coiled metal ribbon that resides inside of a watch’s barrel to deliver force to the movement. However, the force that a mainspring will deliver in an ordinary watch as it unwinds can never be delivered consistently, because the force provided will necessarily be higher when fully wound than it will be towards the end of its power reserve. To address this, Armin Strom implemented a “stop work” mechanism in the Gravity Equal Force that limits the mainspring from fully unwinding and thereby leverages only that part of the mainspring’s unwinding process which can deliver power most consistently.
