Armin Strom Pure Resonance (2018)

In physics, resonance is a phenomenon in which a vibrating system or external force drives another system to oscillate with greater amplitude at specific frequencies. This watch takes advantage of this physics phenomenon and made two resonating balances to offer better stability of rate and higher precision, because two oscillators will tend to reinforce each other. The Armin Strom Mirrored Force was released in 2016, this year the Pure Resonance takes on a more simple approach by reducing a seconds counter. 42mm in 18k rose gold. Manual winding movement; caliber ARF16 with 48-hour power reserve. Limited to 50pcs. Priced at 62,000.00CHF
