Watches and Wonders 2025: Armin Strom New Releases

By Oster Jewelers | April 5, 2025 0 Comments

At Watches and Wonders 2025 in Geneva, the world of haute horlogerie once again turned its gaze to the future of fine watchmaking. As one of the industry’s most influential global event, Watches and Wonders draws together leading retailers, manufacturers, press, collectors, and enthusiasts—uniting them in celebration of craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless design. Among the standout presentations this year was Armin Strom, a brand known for its independent spirit and technical artistry, unveiling three remarkable timepieces that push the boundaries of engineering and aesthetics.

One Week Skeleton Titanium

The Armin Strom One Week Skeleton Titanium redefines open-worked watchmaking with a bold, architectural approach to horology. Crafted from lightweight yet robust grade 5 titanium, the 41mm case delivers exceptional comfort while exuding contemporary sophistication. The movement is entirely skeletonized—revealing an intricate web of mechanics that invites the eye to explore every detail. Unlike traditional see-through designs, this timepiece achieves true visual depth and symmetry, striking a refined balance between transparency and structural integrity.

This latest evolution of the One Week pushes the concept of skeletonization to new heights, stripping away even more material to highlight the mesmerizing choreography within. A partially open small seconds dial frames the escapement and power reserve indicator, turning the mechanical heartbeat into a visual experience.

The skeletonized barrel bridges and mainplate nod to classical pocket watch design while showcasing cutting-edge finishing and innovation. Limited to just 100 pieces and powered by the hand-wound ARM21 caliber with a full 7-day power reserve, this is a statement in contemporary haute horlogerie—where minimalism meets mechanical mastery.

Orbit Purple

The original Armin Strom Orbit reinvented the pointer-date complication with groundbreaking finesse, debuting the world’s first on-demand date function displayed on a bezel back in 2022. Rather than displaying the date continuously, this patented innovation allows wearers to activate the date indicator only when desired—blending cutting-edge mechanics with intuitive functionality. It’s a complication designed with intent once again on the latest Orbit Purple edition, offering both aesthetic purity and a novel interaction with time that sets a new standard for modern horology.

Though its complication is discreet, the dial makes a bold statement. A striking purple fumé gradient glows from the center outward, transitioning into deep, moody tones that give the watch a magnetic allure. The date pointer and ceramic bezel markings mirror the dial’s hue for a seamless tone-on-tone effect, while a black DLC-coated steel case and rugged textile strap ground the piece with sporty elegance.

Every detail is hand-finished with Armin Strom’s signature attention to craft, from its innovative mechanics to its haute decoration. Produced in a strictly limited edition of 20 pieces, the Orbit Purple is a brilliant blend of technical mastery and contemporary style—proving that less can indeed say more.

Dual Time GMT Resonance Manufacture Edition Black

Armin Strom’s Dual Time GMT Resonance Manufacture Edition Black brings a striking monochrome edge to one of the brand’s most technically ambitious complications. Housed in polished stainless steel and paired with a sleek taupe alligator strap, this timepiece delivers a refined balance between aesthetics and engineering. At its heart is the ARF22—the brand’s 18th in-house caliber—which showcases Armin Strom’s patented resonance technology. The movement features two balance wheels that beat in synchronized harmony, a feat of micro-mechanical engineering that significantly enhances accuracy and resistance to shock. It’s an extraordinary visual and technical centerpiece that sets this watch apart in the world of haute horlogerie.

Comprising 231 precision components, the ARF22 runs at 25,200 vph and offers a solid 42-hour power reserve. Designed with the global traveler in mind, it features independent dual time displays, each with its own day/night indicator—a thoughtful addition for navigating different time zones, including those with fractional offsets. The hands are individually adjustable, allowing for seamless transitions no matter where you land.

Underneath its contemporary design lies a robust clutch system that maintains synchronized oscillation, ensuring the resonance effect holds steady even under real-world conditions. Visible through the exhibition case back, the meticulous finishing and mechanical choreography reflect Armin Strom’s unwavering commitment to innovation and horological excellence.
