Tribute 1 Fumé Burgundy
CHF 19'900
Dramatic, intense and reflecting a multitude of tones, the fumé dial gives a new depth to the already three-dimensional Tribute 1. Armin Strom’s unique take on the most fundamental of timekeepers, the Tribute 1 features an offset dial and a bridge holding the innovative “motor barrel”, which offers 100 hours of power reserve. The guilloché engraved dial plate is handcrafted by celebrated independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen’s dial atelier. The Tribute 1 Fumé is limited to 10 pieces each in Ocean, Slate, Sky and Burgundy fumé dial colours.
Consistent with Armin Strom’s approach of showcasing innovative mechanical elements on the dial side of our watches, the Tribute 1 is equipped with a hand-polished dial-side motor barrel. This barrel is distinguished by an arbor that turns around the mainspring within the barrel itself; making it more efficient while also conserving space. It provides 100 hours of continuous operation.
Conceived as a tribute to the classic dress watch but far from a simple homage to the past, the Tribute 1 Fumé adds a distinctly 1970s touch with its vignette effect dial, which creates a striking gradient of bright highlights at the centre of the dial that give way to shadowy contrast towards the outer edges. The metallic sunray-finished coloured dial is animated by light, bringing out its different tonalities and shades.
The Tribute 1’s manually-wound movement was developed and manufactured entirely in-house. Consistent with the Manufacture`s artisanal approach to watchmaking, every part of the Tribute 1 is hand-finished to the highest haute horology standards. For example, the three-quarter bridge is bevelled and polished in 60°; an arduous process that takes twice as long as more commonly-applied methods.
