Armin Strom marks 15 years of its integrated manufacture by revisiting its first-ever calibre, the One Week of 2010, in steel and anthracite.
Armin Strom today introduces the One Week Manufacture Edition, limited to 100 pieces. It follows the redesigned One Week First Edition of 2023 and foregoes colour to bring out the beauty of its manual calibre.
There is no traditional dial. The mainplate, bridges and parts are anthracite PVD coated, a monochrome look that goes with the steel case. Two mainspring barrels work in series for a seven-day power reserve, shown by a mirror-polished cone that takes its inspiration from pocket watches.
The steel case is 41mm wide, on an integrated bracelet of H-shaped satin-brushed and polished links. Hand-finishing runs through the movement, from grained surfaces and Geneva-striped plates to polished screws.
“The craftsmanship truly shines when observed through a magnifying glass, highlighting the watch’s artisanal excellence,” says Claude Greisler, master watchmaker and co-founder of Armin Strom.
Armin Strom describes it as sporty yet classy, calm and serene in its anthracite tones.
