The Gravity Equal Force is the world’s first automatic watch with constant force transmission. The result is consistent power delivery to the balance which ensures that the watch always delivers constant precision.
The Gravity Equal Force is distinguished not only by its groundbreaking technology but by a design and craftsmanship that sets it apart from every other watch.
The movement’s black plate guilloche pattern was done by hand by renowned watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, a close friend of Armin Strom’s founders.
The off-center grey-toned sapphire dial – a first for the brand – offers an unobstructed view of the fascinating mechanics inside the case and emphasises the brand’s passion for transparent mechanics at the core of its design philosophy.
The most eye-catching features of this one-of-a-kind Gravity Equal Force timepiece are the trio of orange-coated brass bridges positioned behind the ASB19 in-house manufacture movement, the orange coated balance wheel bridge on the back of the movement and the hand-finished orange-coated stainless-steel hands that adorn the watch’s striking transparent mechanics. These orange highlights offer a striking contrast to the movement’s black plate.
HISTORY OF THE BRAND
Armin Strom AG is an independent watch brand based in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. Its timepieces represent a unique fusion of the Swiss-German horological tradition, avant-garde ‘transparent mechanics’ and an unwavering commitment to horological innovation. The hallmark of Armin Strom's low-volume, artisanal approach to watchmaking is a commitment to exposed dial-side movement mechanics, with every part hand-finished to the highest haute-horology standards. Established in 1967 by Mr. Armin Strom,
stewardship of the brand was transferred to Master-Watchmaker Claude Greisler and Businessman Serge Michel in 2006. They established Armin Strom AG's first fully-integrated Manufacture in 2009, enabling the brand to bring even its most complicated ideas to life without any of the compromises that typically stem from reliance on a supply chain.
