Armin Strom Releases the Mirrored Force Resonance Ice Blue
Ice Blue sunrays. Only with us.
PRESS RELEASE | 342 WORDS | 3 MINUTE READ
For the first time, the off-center dial of the Mirrored Force Resonance features a sunray guilloché pattern. The lines radiating from the dial's center are decorated using a traditional hand-operated rose engine lathe. The ice blue dial playfully catches and reflects light, creating an even more vibrant and deep view under the sapphire crystal. The new indexes and hands are beveled and polished, adding even more movement to the compelling design. On the left side of the dial, the resonance mechanism takes centre stage: two balances oscillating in opposite directions, connected by Armin Strom’s patented clutch. Two second counters confirm the synchronization of the balances. The anthracite-coloured bridges, surrounded by a 43 mm stainless steel case, remains discreetly in the background as if admiring the composition of the elements. A dark blue Alcantara strap gives the watch a refined look.

The clutch makes the difference.
The manually wound Caliber ARF21 that powers this timepiece has been hailed as a watchmaking breakthrough in the mastery of resonance. It facilitates the synchronisation of two balance wheels via Armin Strom’s patented Resonance clutch that connects two sets of oscillators, each with its own balance wheel and hair spring. The mechanism ensures enhanced precision and chronometric stability, visible on the display of twin seconds counters. A pusher at 2’clock resets the counters, allowing the wearer to have a visual proof of how accurate our resonance mechanism is.
Hand-finishing - because every component counts.
At Armin Strom, hand-finishing of components is an essential step towards the creation of innovative timepieces. The brand’s attention to detail is visible through the sapphire crystal, front and back, with a display of hand-bevelled and polished bridges and black-polished screws. Perlage, Geneva stripes and circular graining are decorative techniques that reflect the brand’s conviction that each component of every timepiece must represent the essence of the brand. Each watch is assembled twice to ensure both mechanical precision and finishing integrity.
Limited to just 15 pieces
The Mirrored Force Resonance Ice Blue is a bold tribute to synchronised timekeeping and independent Swiss watchmaking.
