Armin Strom introduces the Tribute 1 Green, a refined dress watch that pays homage to the timeless beauty of nature. Limited to just 50 pieces, this new release brings forest-inspired tones to the brand’s most elegant collection, combining artisanal craftsmanship with modern mechanical innovation.

A Forest-Inspired Masterpiece

The Tribute 1 Green features a striking off-centre dial in forest green, adorned with a hand-engraved grain d’orge guilloché pattern and crisp white Roman numerals. A frosted subdial adds depth and texture, while the green Alcantara leather strap with off-white stitching completes the composition with understated sophistication. The openworked motor barrel, secured by a polished finger bridge in stainless steel, echoes the case design and showcases Armin Strom’s signature fusion of symmetry and mechanical artistry. The 38 mm stainless steel case, with anti-reflective sapphire crystals front and back, ensures optimal clarity and elegance.

Exceptional Performance

At the heart of the Tribute 1 Green is the manual-winding Manufacture Caliber AMW21, offering an impressive 100-hour power reserve. This is made possible by the brand’s patented equal force barrel, designed for efficiency and compactness. Operating at 25,200 vibrations per hour (3.5 Hz), the movement reflects Armin Strom’s technical mastery, with 97% of components produced in-house.

Haute Horlogerie, Hand-Finished

Every Tribute 1 Green is a testament to traditional watchmaking. The case features brushed and polished surfaces, finished entirely by hand. Inside, the movement is decorated with Geneva stripes, circular graining, and a mirror-polished finger bridge, all executed by Armin Strom’s skilled artisans.

True to the brand’s commitment to excellence, each watch is assembled twice—once for mechanical precision and again after decoration—to ensure the highest standards of performance and aesthetics.

Armin Strom, the independent Swiss watchmaker renowned for its openworked designs and mechanical innovation, proudly unveils two striking new additions to its System 78 collection: the Orbit Lime Green and Orbit Ice Blue.

These limited edition timepieces—each restricted to just 20 pieces worldwide—introduce vibrant new fumé dials that blend bold aesthetics with technical mastery. The Lime Green model radiates energy and modernity, while the Ice Blue version offers a serene and sophisticated presence. Both dials feature a gradient effect that transitions from vivid color at the center to deep black at the edges, enhancing the visual depth of the openworked design.

A World-First Date Display on Demand

At the heart of both models lies the Armin Strom Manufacture Caliber ASS20, the world’s first movement to feature a date display on a ceramic bezel that appears only when activated. A pusher at 10 o’clock engages the date hand, which points to the current date and advances automatically at midnight. A second press returns the hand to its neutral position, offering a playful yet practical complication powered by a column-wheel mechanism.

The movement also incorporates Armin Strom’s patented Equal Force Barrel, delivering consistent energy for a stable 72-hour power reserve.

Haute Horology Craftsmanship

Each Orbit model is meticulously hand-finished at Armin Strom’s Manufacture in Biel/Bienne, employing traditional techniques such as anglage, perlage, and circular graining. The off-center dial is paired with rhodium-coated hands enhanced with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring legibility and elegance. The watches are housed in a stainless steel case with a fixed ceramic bezel and come with a matching bracelet featuring a double-folding clasp.

The Science of Movement

Founded in 1967 and revitalized in 2009, Armin Strom continues to push the boundaries of horological innovation. Every timepiece is designed, developed, and assembled in-house, reflecting the brand’s commitment to transparency, craftsmanship, and mechanical excellence.

Chronoswiss introduces the Lunar Chronograph Aurora, a contemporary evolution of one of the brand’s most enduring icons. Since its debut in 1999, the Lunar Chronograph has symbolized Chronoswiss’s ability to blend classical Swiss watchmaking with an independent, expressive spirit. The new Aurora edition carries this legacy forward through a captivating reinterpretation rooted in light, color, and mechanical harmony.

At the heart of the transformation is its fully CVD‑coated dial, which shifts fluidly from deep green to vivid blue as light moves across its surface. Inspired by the ethereal glow of the aurora borealis, this chromatic effect gives the watch a quietly dramatic presence, making every glance feel like a changing atmospheric phenomenon. Balanced chronograph counters, a central analog date, and a poetic moon phase at 3 o’clock come together to form a composition that remains faithful to the model’s architectural heritage while embracing a distinctly modern personality.

The polished stainless‑steel case retains iconic design elements that have defined Chronoswiss for decades, including the onion crown and screwed lugs—details that reinforce the watch’s lineage and mechanical authenticity. Paired with a contemporary grey nubuck leather strap, the Lunar Chronograph Aurora combines classical provenance with renewed visual energy, offering collectors a sophisticated yet forward‑looking chronograph that bridges past and present with effortless elegance.

Armin Strom proudly unveils a new expression of its horological mastery with the launch of the Mirrored Force Resonance in 18K Rose Gold. This limited edition marks a significant milestone for the brand’s most iconic timepiece, blending technical innovation with timeless elegance.

A First in Rose Gold

For the first time, Armin Strom’s signature case is crafted from 18K rose gold, offering a warm and luxurious aesthetic. The 43 mm case features alternating brushed and polished finishes, enhancing its sculptural presence. Beneath the sapphire crystal, a bold black off-centre dial showcases a handcrafted sunray guilloché pattern, created using a traditional rose engine lathe. A chapter ring with circular finishing adds depth and texture, while a dark grey Alcantara strap completes the refined look.

Resonance Engineered for Performance

At the heart of this timepiece lies the Caliber ARF21, a manually wound movement that exemplifies Armin Strom’s pioneering work in resonance watchmaking. The patented Resonance Clutch Spring synchronizes two independent balance wheels, enhancing precision and chronometric stability. A pusher at 2 o’clock resets the twin seconds counters, offering a visual demonstration of the resonance mechanism’s accuracy.

Craftsmanship Without Compromise

Every surface of the movement is meticulously hand-finished, visible through sapphire crystals on both sides of the case. Techniques such as hand-beveling, black polishing, perlage, and circular graining highlight Armin Strom’s commitment to haute horology. Each watch is assembled twice to ensure mechanical integrity and flawless finishing.

Limited Edition of 15 Pieces

This exclusive release is limited to just 15 pieces, each priced at CHF 88,000. It represents a rare opportunity to own a timepiece that embodies both technical brilliance and artisanal beauty.
