The Armin Strom Tourbillon Skeleton is spectacular to see and unique in its kind. The new Tourbillon Skeleton from Armin Strom celebrates the mechanical highlight of the ultimate watch complication, the tourbillon. With the introduction of this watch the independent Swiss company continues the evolvement of brand. The Armin Strom Tourbillon Skeleton Fire is a tribute to the vision and passion of the founder of the brand, according to AS’s master skeletonizer.

Inside the Armin Strom Tourbillon Skeleton is a new movement designed to emphasize the technical competence of Armin Strom. Only the best watch manufacturers, according to the brand, can make a tourbillon. The Armin Strom Skeleton Tourbillon increases the technical challenge even more. Skeletonizing increases the mechanical artistry of the movement. This can be seen very clearly as they use various shades of colored PVD-coated materials to show the layered structure of the caliber. Not only the constant rotation of the tourbillon is wonderful to look at, even when winding you can see the effect of the “barrel”.

Armin Strom founded his eponymous brand in 1967 and retired in 2011 after selling the company to the family Michel. Owner Serge Michel and chief horologist Claude Greisler have the capacity to increase the brand through the creation of an independent factory in Biel / Bienne. This was opened in 2009 for the development and manufacture of timepieces. The company introduced its first hand-winding tourbillon in 2012, and a micro-rotor tourbillon in 2013.

“I am very proud that Serge, Claude and their team have achieved one of my dreams – skeletonizing a tourbillon”, says Armin Strom. “For me it is a pleasure to see the continued growth and success of the brand.” Claude Greisler adds: “We are constantly inspired by the tremendous skill and vision of Armin: his desire for beautiful techniques and mechanics in each watch – the heart and soul of every movement – is our main goal.”
