Our Take

Following the launch of the First Edition of the new Mirrored Force Resonance in 2022, the Biel-based brand is delighted to unveil the first Manufacture Edition of this unique chronometric masterpiece with green dial.

Armin Strom took the watch industry by storm in 2016 when it unveiled the Mirrored Force Resonance, a watch that exploits the physical phenomenon of resonance in an ingenious and unprecedented way. It set a new standard of chronometric precision and regularity by achieving what watchmakers once believed to be impossible. This is all possible due to Armin Storm’s patented Resonance Clutch Spring, which is able to reach and remain in a state of resonance faster and for longer than any other resonance system in watchmaking. This results in a consistent rate that’s more impervious to shocks and positional rate variances.

This entirely updated Mirrored Force Resonance takes the winning formula of superior chronometric stability and combines it with modernized design language. From the outside, the case has been redesigned from scratch in more slender proportions (43mm x 11.55mm), with slimmer, more elegant lugs, as well as a very subtle signature Armin Strom “lip” at 6 o’clock.

The raised sapphire glass box reveals the innovative and truly one-of-a-kind movement from multiple angles and has been reworked for a more open, three-dimensional look. Most notably, the two balance bridges have been openworked for more visual harmony between the two synchronized balanced wheels and the off-center dial. The pusher at 2 o’clock allows the two running seconds indicators – which rotate in mirrored clockwise and counterclockwise motions – to be reset to zero and visually track the state of resonance.

Turning the watch over reveals the extent of the movement’s complete redesign. Inspired by the golden age of precision marine chronometry, the engraved main plate outlines the specific characteristics of the Mirrored Force Resonance in raised text. Highlighting the fact that the ingenuity of the Resonance is having two movements beating in sync with independent energy sources and gear trains, the symmetry of the movement is accentuated with its mirrored arrangement of open bridges and gears. This open execution also allows the Armin Strom manufaktur to showcase its expertise in hand finishing while also shining a light on the brand’s history as a preeminent maker of skeleton watches. The wider hand-polished chamfers on the bridges and countersinks and the mix of satin-brushed and mirror-polished surfaces also exude a superlative and distinctly haute horlogerie quality that can only be achieved by the hands of skilled artisans.

Claude Greisler, Co-Founder and Master Watchmaker at Armin Strom, comments, “The openworked Resonance movement further highlights the ingenuity of our unique and patented system. Even more incredibly, we’ve made the new Mirrored Force Resonance slimmer, paying particular attention to the ergonomics and overall proportions of this exceptional timepiece.”
