Biel\/Bienne, Switzerland, 28 February 2023: Following the launch of the First Edition of the new Mirrored Force Resonance in 2022, the independent manufacturer is delighted to unveil the first Manufacture Edition of this unique chronometric masterpiece. Its ingenious movement, which harnesses the power of the physical phenomenon of resonance, is embellished with a striking blue grenage dial and matching Alcantara strap.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As far as groundbreaking concepts in watchmaking go, perhaps none is as rare or as coveted as resonance. While first attempted centuries ago by the greatest watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries in a bid to offer greater chronometric precision and consistency, Armin Strom <\/a>succeeded where others could not, with its own unique solution that exploits the physical phenomenon of resonance in an ingenious and unprecedented way.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

First introduced by Armin Strom in 2016, the Mirrored Force Resonance and its patented mechanism underwent a complete redesign last year, taking on a strikingly elegant form with a newly designed case, movement, and dial. Following the success of the Mirrored Force Resonance First Edition, which was made in a series of 25 and boasts an achromatic aesthetic, the time has come to present the first Mirrored Force Resonance Manufacture Edition, a limited edition of 50 pieces of contrasting color accents.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Within the elegantly slender stainless steel case, which measures 43mm x 11.55mm, and under the raised sapphire glass box, the contrast between vibrant colors and open mechanics brings the Mirrored Force Resonance Manufacture Edition to life. The off-center dial is dark blue in color, with a grenage textured central element surrounded by a circular satin-brushed chapter ring, featuring applied polished baton indices adding even more depth to the already highly three-dimensional display. The twin resonance second counters are also finished in the same blue tone, painted with white numerals for maximum legibility. Completing the blue overtones, the Mirrored Force Resonance Manufacture Edition is delivered on a matching dark blue Alcantara strap.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Armin Strom has constructed the Mirrored Force Resonance\u2019s wholly exceptional movement in a way that ensures as many of its key components as possible are visible. On the dial side, the two balance bridges have been open-worked for more visual harmony between the two synchronized balanced wheels and the off-center dial. The pusher at 2 o\u2019clock allows the two running seconds indicators\u2013which rotate in mirrored clockwise and counter-clockwise motions\u2013to be reset to zero and visually track the state of resonance. The case back view reveals the engraved main plate, which details the specific characteristics of the Mirrored Force Resonance in bas-relief text. The remarkable symmetry of the movement is accentuated by its mirrored arrangement of open bridges and gears.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

True to Armin Strom\u2019s ethos of crafting exceptional calibers with the finest finishing and attention to even the smallest detail, each component is painstakingly hand-decorated by one of the manufacturer\u2019s dedicated watchmakers. The perlage, satin-brushing, chamfering, and polishing techniques are carefully executed for each and every component, elevating the notion of haute horlogerie into miniature, wearable art.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Armin Strom\u2019s patented Resonance Clutch Spring<\/strong><\/p>\n

With its groundbreaking and patented Resonance Clutch Spring, Armin Strom has attained the \u201choly grail\u201d of watchmaking, by harnessing the physical phenomenon of resonance and thus enabling more regular timekeeping achieved through the synchronization of two balance wheels that oscillate in opposite directions simultaneously. Conceived, developed, and produced entirely at the Armin Strom manufacture in Biel, the Resonance Clutch Spring is the result of years of intensive research by Claude Greisler and the manufacturer. Crafted from a single piece of steel, the Resonance Clutch Spring is designed to transfer energy between both hairsprings and quickly bring the balance wheels into resonance. Armin Strom\u2019s newest generation of resonance is the quickest and most reliable on the market, synchronizing faster than any other watch that uses resonance and remaining in a resonant state longer than any other.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Thanks to the Resonance Clutch Spring, a flexible suspension connecting the two hairsprings with its balance wheels, all of Armin Strom\u2019s Resonance watches are more resistant to shocks or vibrations than standard mechanical movements. Precision and consistency are, of course, the ultimate goals of mechanical watchmaking, and resonance plays a crucial role in helping these amazing watches keep time consistently over days, weeks, and months. Armin Strom\u2019s goal is a watch that the owner knows will tell the time consistently, day in and day out.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
