Engineering Marvel: The Exclusive Journey of the Armin Strom Minute Repeater

The Armin Strom Minute Repeater Resonance is the brand’s most powerful creation, embodying the pinnacle of their expertise. It serves as a declaration of the heights the brand can achieve. Known globally for its cutting-edge technology, this apex creation by Armin Strom is both rare and highly collectible.

Only ten pieces of the Minute Repeater Resonance have been made, making it a true limited edition of just ten.

Its design resembles a spaceship, with a striking combination of grey gold. The name “Resonance Clutch Spring Constant Force System” alone suggests the beauty hidden on the back of the watch.

The most impressive aspect of the watch is the craftsmanship and decorative artistry visible on both sides. The front features a skeletonized design under a sapphire crystal dial. The gong springs wrap around the hour and minute disks like alien orbits. The high-frequency oscillation of the clutch hairspring, reminiscent of violin strings, and the minute repeater racks and mysterious resonance system on the back, are compact and evoke a sense of science fiction.

Unlike the F.P. Journe’s approach to resonance, which seems more metaphysical (I personally think the air deck resonance is idealized), Armin Strom’s resonance employs a clutch hairspring for connection. This has a practical basis: when three regulators are placed on a freely moving plane, they can synchronize in a very short time, with a stronger mutual influence.
