Description

Armin Strom took the watch industry by storm in 2016 when it unveiled the Mirrored Force Resonance, a watch that exploits the physical phenomenon of resonance in an ingenious and unprecedented way. It set a new standard of chronometric precision and regularity by achieving what watchmakers once believed to be impossible.

Revisiting the independent manufacture’s milestone creation in 2016 from a new vantage point, the entirely redesigned Mirrored Force Resonance takes the winning formula of superior chronometric stability and reimagines it using a new, refined design language. From the outside, the case has been redesigned from scratch in more slender proportions (43mm x 11.55mm), with slimmer, more elegant lugs, as well as a very subtle signature Armin Strom “lip” at 6 o’clock.

The raised sapphire glass box reveals the innovative and truly one-of-a-kind movement from multiple angles and has been redesigned for a more open, three-dimensional look. Most notably, the two balance bridges have been openworked for more visual harmony between the two synchronized balanced wheels and the off-centre dial. The pusher at 2 o’clock allows the two running seconds indicators – which rotate in mirrored clockwise and counter-clockwise motions – to be reset to zero and visually track the state of resonance.

Features

The Mirrored Force Resonance is our take on a fascinating watchmaking phenomenon: resonance. This physical effect has captivated watchmakers since the 17th century. It occurs when two balances oscillate next to each other. They then regulate each other through their emitted vibrations. In theory, this produces significantly more reliable timing rates, aka greater chronometric stability. In reality, and especially in watches, maintaining resonance is very challenging. Wrist movements or minor shocks can easily disrupt it. We created our patented system to solve this problem. It makes resonance more stable and less prone to disturbances. With this, we have achieved something rare: introducing reliability into the unpredictable world of physics.
