Notes

Armin Strom Armin Strom is an independent Manufacture, whose timepieces marry horological complications with contemporary aesthetics. The Brand?s philosophy, inspired by founder and master skeletoniser, Mr Armin Strom, is to innovate and reinterpret tradition. Founded over 40 years ago, the Brand inaugurated the buildings of its Manufacture in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, in 2009. Here, the full spectrum of skilled watchmaking professions is housed under one roof, enabling autonomous production right through to the independent creation of mechanical movements - a hallmark of Armin Strom watches. Movements are produced by the mechanical department, before being decorated and engraved by hand and assembled in the watch workshops. Watch design is also done internally. The Armin Strom Manufacture creates watches that offer watchmaking connoisseurs the joy of hidden time within the mechanics, with exceptional timekeeping distinguished by complications and sublime hand-finishing. This particular approach to the art of horology allows the founder?s skeletonising legacy to live on, with new meaning, made possible through high-tech manufacturing. The Company, which employs around two dozen highly skilled staff, is managed by owner Serge Michel, together with Claude Greisler, director. This true masterpiece One week Skeleton Water Only Watch has been created exclusively fully skeletonized, engraved and decorated by hand, a unique piece unveiling the art of fine watchmaking.
