Armin Strom Releases the Mirrored Force Resonance Ice Blue

Press release: 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.
