The result is consistent power delivery to the balance which ensures that the watch always delivers flawlessly constant precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its off-center grey-toned sapphire dial, and contrasting salmon guillochet dial base, this unique layout  offers an extraordinary view of the exquisitely-finished manufacture movement beating within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA key innovation, exclusive to the first set of System 78 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDistinctions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStop-Work declutch mechanism and Equal Force Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade guilloche pattern on the black movement plate by Kari Voutilainen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridges are coated with dark grey ruthenium; the barrel and the micro rotor are coated with rhodium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMovement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinding-mechanism: Automatic with micro rotor turning on dial side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegulating system: Screwed balance with steel spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency: 25.200 vph \/ 3,5 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of jewels: 28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower reserve: 72 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCase\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSapphire crystal and case back with anti-reflective treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 41.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 12.65 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLug-to-Lug: 48.09 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-resistance: 30 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDial\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrey toned off-center sapphire crystal with subdial with salmon guillochet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHands\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel with hand finishing and Super-LumiNova® filling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivered with a grey nubuck leather strap with tonal stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth lugs\/buckle: 20\/18 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-change strap springbars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuckle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePin buckle or Folding clasp available in stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Armin Strom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223114535284,"sku":"ST24-GEF.SAL","price":36000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2930\/0774\/files\/ST24-GEF.SAL.jpg?v=1774997525","url":"https:\/\/topperjewelers.com\/products\/armin-strom-st24-gef-sal","provider":"Topper Fine Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
