Description

ARMIN STROM Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire

Gravity Equal Force demonstrates Armin Strom’s core principle of continual innovation.

 

This collection showcases Armin Storm’s contemporary design and masterful watchmaking skills, elevating them further by enhancing the consistency and reliability of timekeeping with several technical developments in the ASB19 calibre – more on this below.

The Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire Purple, a marvel of horology from Armin Strom’s System 78 collection. This lineup epitomizes the Swiss brand’s dedication to redefining traditional watchmaking by infusing it with inventive functionalities and distinctive designs. The new ‘Purple’ edition is a symphony of vibrant colours and precise mechanics, highlighting Armin Strom’s commitment to aesthetic and technical excellence. Finished with scrupulous hand decoration, its allure is undeniable.

Royal Elegance Meets Mechanical Brilliance

This latest iteration of the Gravity Equal Force showcases a stunning purple hue—a first for Armin Strom. The base plate is adorned with a guilloché pattern crafted by the renowned independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, featuring a classic barley grain design. Achieved through a meticulous 3D PVD process, the purple colour dynamically changes under different lighting conditions. Complementing this is the small, off-centred dial made from sapphire crystal, exclusive to the Ultimate Sapphire Editions, and a luxurious light grey nubuck leather strap with matching purple stitching.

Innovative Automatic Precision

Define Watches is proud to highlight the pioneering technology within the Gravity Equal Force Purple. It is the first automatic watch to integrate an equal force mechanism directly into the mainspring barrel, ensuring consistent power and precision. Visible from the dial, the power reserve indicator and the micro-rotor features a unique dual-spring system that enhances winding efficiency. This watch embodies Armin Strom’s relentless pursuit of superior timekeeping performance, crafted entirely in their Bienne facility.

Artistry in Every Detail

What transforms a timepiece into a masterpiece is its craftsmanship. The Gravity Equal Force Purple exemplifies this through its exceptional finishing. Polished and black polished screws, polished countersinks, and meticulously applied Geneva stripes are just a few of the exquisite details. Notably, the three dark grey ruthenium-plated bridges, reminiscent of traditional pocket watch bridges, are individually hand-finished to a radiant sheen, showcasing the unparalleled skill of Armin Strom’s artisans.
