When perfection is your standard, it’s the little things that often make the biggest difference. Here a watchmaker works under extreme magnification to preserve the hand-polished perfection of each screw. His screwdriver blades are filed and modified as needed and always kept perfectly perpendicular to each screw head; applying steady, controlled downward pressure before turning. The movement of every Armin Strom timepiece is conceived, designed, engineered, fabricated, hand-finished, decorated and assembled in house - with perfection as our standard at every stage. #arminstorm #arminstromwatches #ScienceOfMovement

Sometimes less is more. Elegantly understated, the 38mm Tribute 1 Fumé is a study in contrasts. Minimalism with gravitas. It honours the past with extraordinary haute-horology hand-finishing; even as it audaciously reinvents the classic dress watch in a contemporary context. The quiet confidence and independent spirit of the Tribute 1’s design DNA expresses both passion and restraint. It is modernity pausing to respect the past. With guilloché dial plates and fumé dials reminicient of azure skies, ocean blue, the monochromatic beauty of stony slate and the decadence of fine burgundy, each iteration of this timepiece evokes visceral passions in a celebration of timeless craftsmanship. The Tribute 1 Fumé is limited to just 10 examples for each of four dial colours. Registration of interest is available now at www.arminstrom.com #arminstrom #arminstromwatches #ScienceOfMovement

A quiet rebellion. The Tribute 1 Fumé reinvents the classic dress watch by extending its definition. The Tribute 1 Fumé marries traditional artisanal artistry with a modern aesthetic sensibility. The Swiss-German tradition of asymmetrical design is updated in a contemporary context with smoky dials, offered in four colours. Its guilloché dial plate is masterfully handcrafted on a rose engine lathe in Kari Voutilainen’s dial workshop. Even the parts that you may never see are hand-finished to the highest standards. Its three-quarter bridge is bevelled and polished in 60°; an arduous process that takes twice as long as more commonly-applied hand-finishing methods. And its hand-polished, dial-side motor barrel provides an intriguing example of innovative engineering: an arbor that turns around the mainspring within the motor barrel itself, thereby conserving space to provide a remarkable 100 hour power reserve in a 38.00 mm timepiece.
