Armin Strom Unveils the Mirrored Force Resonance Ice Blue – A Tribute to Precision and Craftsmanship

JULY 01 2025    |    Novelties

Armin Strom proudly presents the Mirrored Force Resonance Ice Blue, a limited edition timepiece that exemplifies the brand’s dedication to horological innovation and artisanal excellence. With only 15 pieces available worldwide, this release marks a bold evolution in the art of synchronized timekeeping.

The watch features a striking ice blue sunray guilloché dial, crafted using a traditional hand-operated rose engine lathe. Its off-center layout and radiant finish create a captivating play of light beneath the sapphire crystal, while beveled and polished indexes and hands add depth and movement to the design.

At the core of this timepiece is the manually wound Caliber ARF21, a technical breakthrough in resonance watchmaking. Armin Strom’s patented clutch system connects two balance wheels, allowing them to oscillate in opposite directions and synchronize for enhanced precision and stability. Twin seconds counters provide a visual representation of this resonance effect, and a pusher at 2 o’clock resets the counters, offering a clear demonstration of the mechanism’s accuracy.

The movement is hand-finished to haute horology standards, with Geneva stripes, perlage, and black-polished screws visible through the transparent case back. Each watch is assembled twice to ensure both mechanical integrity and flawless finishing.

Encased in a 43 mm stainless steel case and paired with a dark blue Alcantara strap, the Mirrored Force Resonance Ice Blue is a celebration of independent Swiss watchmaking and the science of movement.

Angelus Instrument de Mesures: Triple Scale Monopusher Chronograph

Angelus unites the chronograph's key functional scales—telemeter, pulsometer, and tachymeter—in a single design. True to its heritage as a maker of functional timepieces, Angelus brings together the expertise developed through its previous instruments in the Instrument de Mesures. Produced in two limited editions of 25 pieces, this watch is a genuine instrument of measurement, designed to calculate elapsed time, the speed of sound, distance travelled and heart rate. Using a single chronograph hand, it integrates three functions, each with its own dedicated scale. Housed in a 39 mm steel case, its three-dimensional dial is both highly legible and meticulously graduated, giving the Instrument de Mesures the character of an authentic tool watch with a distinctive vintage charm and singular identity.

One Instrument, Multiple Measurements
Integrating these three scales alongside the essential minute track required a particularly sophisticated design approach. The amount of information to be displayed, combined with the need for legibility and clarity, led Angelus to adopt a distinct colour code for each function. This arrangement is reinforced by a three-dimensional dial construction, featuring a domed centre and outer edge connected by a sloping intermediate section. The telemetric scale is situated on the highest level at the periphery of the dial. The pulsometer extends across the angled intermediate section, and the tachymeter, in the form of a spiral, is located closest to the hands.

The In-House A5000 Chronograph Calibre
The Instrument de Mesures is powered by Angelus's in-house A5000 chronograph calibre. Its classical architecture showcases numerous intricately shaped components, providing an ideal canvas for high-end finishing. Faithful to the great traditions of chronograph watchmaking, the A5000 incorporates a column wheel and a horizontal clutch, both defining features of traditional chronographs.

Chronoswiss Reimagines a Modern Classic with the New Lunar Chronograph Aurora

Chronoswiss introduces the Lunar Chronograph Aurora, a contemporary evolution of one of the brand’s most enduring icons. Since its debut in 1999, the Lunar Chronograph has symbolized Chronoswiss’s ability to blend classical Swiss watchmaking with an independent, expressive spirit. The new Aurora edition carries this legacy forward through a captivating reinterpretation rooted in light, color, and mechanical harmony.

At the heart of the transformation is its fully CVD‑coated dial, which shifts fluidly from deep green to vivid blue as light moves across its surface. Inspired by the ethereal glow of the aurora borealis, this chromatic effect gives the watch a quietly dramatic presence, making every glance feel like a changing atmospheric phenomenon. Balanced chronograph counters, a central analog date, and a poetic moon phase at 3 o’clock come together to form a composition that remains faithful to the model’s architectural heritage while embracing a distinctly modern personality.

The polished stainless‑steel case retains iconic design elements that have defined Chronoswiss for decades, including the onion crown and screwed lugs—details that reinforce the watch’s lineage and mechanical authenticity. Paired with a contemporary grey nubuck leather strap, the Lunar Chronograph Aurora combines classical provenance with renewed visual energy, offering collectors a sophisticated yet forward‑looking chronograph that bridges past and present with effortless elegance.

DANIEL ROTH Unveils the Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton

A contemporary expression of classical proportion, revealing the architecture of high watchmaking
 

DANIEL ROTH presents the Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton, a new interpretation of one of the Maison’s most emblematic creations. Remaining faithful to the proportions and restrained elegance of the Extra Plat, this latest iteration introduces skeletonisation for the first time in the brand’s modern revival, allowing the inner architecture of the watch to take centre stage.

Conceived in the spirit of La Montre Objet d’Art, the Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton preserves the calm geometry of the double‑ellipse case while offering a transparent view into the movement, transforming technical construction into a visual and artistic experience.

The Extra Plat: A signature revisited
Simplicity, when executed with absolute precision, has long been central to the identity of DANIEL ROTH. During the early years of his independent career, Mr. Roth considered the Extra Plat a complication in its own right, favouring it for the technical discipline required to achieve true thinness and perfect proportion.

Defined by its double‑ellipse case and balanced architecture, the Extra Plat became a cornerstone of the Maison’s aesthetic vocabulary in the early 1990s. While Daniel Roth produced skeletonised versions of select complications during that period, the Extra Plat itself was never skeletonised. This new creation therefore marks a respectful yet meaningful evolution, expanding the expressive range of the Extra Plat while remaining faithful to its original spirit.

The DR002SR calibre: a skeletonised rose gold heart
At the centre of the Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton is the new manually wound calibre DR002SR, developed and manufactured entirely at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton under the supervision of master watchmakers Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini.

Based on the DR002, the DR002SR has been re‑engineered from the ground up specifically for skeletonisation. The bridges and plates have been reshaped to maximise openness and visual clarity, while preserving structural rigidity and chronometric performance. Crafted in solid 18k 5N rose gold, the movement mirrors the warmth of the case and provides an ideal canvas for traditional hand finishing.


Transparency in motion
Skeletonisation is an exercise in reduction and balance. With the DR002SR, DANIEL ROTH brings this principle to its highest expression. The calibre reveals a wealth of hand‑executed details, including numerous hand‑polished internal angles, black‑polished steel components, and meticulously bevelled bridges—finishes that can only be achieved by skilled artisans and never by machine.

Despite its openworked construction, the DR002SR retains a power reserve of 65 hours and a frequency of 4 Hz, underscoring the Maison’s commitment to both technical integrity and timeless aesthetics.


Slim proportions, uncompromised structure
Housed in a 38.6 × 35.5 mm double‑ellipse case crafted in 18k rose gold, the Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton measures just 6.9 mm in thickness. This exceptional slenderness ensures that the watch remains true to the Extra Plat philosophy of discreet elegance and effortless wearability.

Produced in extremely limited numbers each year, the Extra Plat Rose Gold Skeleton is intended for collectors who value traditional high watchmaking expressed with clarity, restraint, and depth.

Chronoswiss Unveils the SPACE TIMER GRAVITY — A New Exploration of Mechanical Cosmos

Chronoswiss expands its avant‑garde Space Timer collection with the new SPACE TIMER GRAVITY, a 44mm mechanical creation inspired by the invisible yet powerful force of gravity. Limited to 50 pieces, the watch transforms cosmic phenomena into a visually architectural dial experience.

A Dial Where Light, Matter, and Mechanics Interact
The dial features a partly hand‑guilloché surface finished with a colour‑shifting CVD coating that transitions between deep green and oceanic blue depending on light — evoking the sensation of viewing a planet from orbit. A striking moon at 9 o’clock is produced through sophisticated laser work based on an original NASA photograph, revealing cratered textures with exceptional depth.

Floating above the landscape are transparent ITR2 hour and date rings that appear suspended in orbit. Beneath them, the exposed gear train is framed by a baby‑blue bridge, echoing the hue of the seconds hand and adding contemporary contrast to the cosmic scene.

A Case Built for Orbit
The 44mm matte‑grey stainless‑steel case delivers a modern, technical presence while allowing the dial’s dynamic surfaces to take centre stage. It pairs with a light grey nubuck leather strap for a refined, futuristic aesthetic.

The Engine Behind the Cosmos
Inside beats the Chronoswiss Caliber C.308, an automatic movement operating at 4 Hz with a 42‑hour power reserve. Mechanics remain proudly visible, emphasising the interplay between the unseen forces of gravity and the precise regulation of time.

A Limited Universe
Limited to 50 pieces worldwide, each SPACE TIMER GRAVITY captures the dance of light across its shifting dial, making every piece uniquely personal.
