Armin Strom Unveils the Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire Rose Gold — A Masterpiece of Mechanics and Elegance

JUNE 18 2025    |    Novelties

Independent Swiss watchmaker Armin Strom proudly presents the Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire Rose Gold, a timepiece that exemplifies the brand’s commitment to horological innovation, artisanal craftsmanship, and visual harmony.

Encased in 18K rose gold, this limited-edition watch features a sculptural movement architecture that plays with tone and texture. A brown guilloché mainplate, rose gold-colored bridges, and a floating off-centre sapphire dial create a refined and coherent composition. The watch is paired with a matte brown nubuck leather strap, adding an earthy elegance to the overall aesthetic.

At the heart of the timepiece is the Caliber ASB19, Armin Strom’s groundbreaking automatic movement. It incorporates a patented stop-work declutch mechanism and Geneva cross within the barrel, ensuring consistent torque delivery throughout its 72-hour power reserve. A micro-rotor enables efficient winding while preserving the symmetry and visibility of the movement — a hallmark of Armin Strom’s design philosophy.

Every component, visible or hidden, is hand-finished to haute horology standards. Techniques such as beveling, straight-graining, perlage, Geneva stripes, and black-polished screws are applied with precision and care. The mainplate features a “grain d’orge” guilloché pattern, crafted by master artisan Kari Voutilainen using a traditional hand-operated machine.

This exceptional timepiece is limited to just 25 pieces per year, making it a rare and radiant statement in the world of independent watchmaking. It is a testament to Armin Strom’s philosophy: Mechanics First. Always.

The Moritz Grossmann GMT Guilloche is a celebration of global exploration and fine German watchmaking. Inspired by the colors of nature and the rhythm of travel, this dual time zone watch is available in two striking dial variants: matte green, evoking serene meadows and hidden coves, and vibrant orange, reminiscent of the glow of a setting sun.

Dual Time Functionality

Designed for the modern traveler, the GMT Guilloche features a 24-hour time zone ring encircling the dial. A distinctive arrow-shaped hand tracks a second time zone, offering intuitive day-night orientation. Local time is displayed via central hour and minute hands, with a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. A dedicated crown at 10 o’clock allows seamless adjustment of the second time zone without affecting the main time.

Masterful Craftsmanship

Each dial is hand-engraved using the traditional guilloché technique, creating intricate geometric patterns that shimmer with light. The green dial is paired with blued steel hands, while the orange dial features polished steel hands—both handcrafted in Glashütte.

Engineered for Precision

Inside the watch beats the calibre 100.8, a manually wound movement crafted in-house and regulated in five positions. It features 253 components, 26 jewels, and signature Grossmann innovations including the 2/3 plate with raised gold chatons, cantilevered balance cock with micrometer screw, and a separately removable winding mechanism. The second time zone mechanism is seamlessly integrated on the dial side, ensuring precision and harmony.

Limited Edition

Encased in stainless steel and fitted with a hand-stitched black alligator leather strap, each GMT Guilloche model is strictly limited to 8 pieces worldwide, making it a rare collector’s item.

Discover the Art of Glashütte

Moritz Grossmann continues to honor its founder’s legacy by blending traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. The GMT Guilloche is a wearable work of art—an invitation to wear the world on your wrist.

Constant Force Tourbillon 11, yellow gold edition - A celebration of watchmaking ingenuity

The 41.5 mm diameter Constant Force Tourbillon 11 watch in 18-carat yellow gold, released by Arnold & Son as a limited edition of 11, is driven by a hand-wound mechanical movement. Equipped with two barrels to give a 100-hour power reserve, this timepiece was entirely developed and built at the manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. It is fitted with a constant force mechanism visible on the enamel dial and is regulated by a tourbillon that can be seen on the back. The architecture of this calibre is inspired by that of the timekeeping instrument driven by the first tourbillon created by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1808, based on a chronometer movement designed by John Arnold. This first tourbillon regulator, now in the British Museum, was given to John Roger Arnold by the Paris-based watchmaker in honour of his scientific collaboration and friendship with his father. The Constant Force Tourbillon 11 timepiece, designed to mark the end of the 260th anniversary celebrations of John Arnold’s legacy, pays tribute to the watchmaker’s ingenuity and his close association with Abraham-Louis Breguet.

The greatest watchmakers of the Age of Enlightenment often knew each other. Some of them exchanged views and appreciated each other despite language barriers and political obstacles. And this was the case with John Arnold and Abraham-Louis Breguet. These two watchmakers, undoubtedly the most productive of the second half of the 18th century, forged a friendship that nothing could shake, not even the throes of war between the two countries or the French Revolution. Aware of their respective talents, during Abraham-Louis Breguet’s frequent trips to London between 1789 and 1791, they shared their views and knowledge of the principles of timekeeping, furthering the science of timekeeping, which in their eyes definitely knew no frontiers.

Moritz Grossmann Presents the New BENU Power Reserve: Tradition Refined

Moritz Grossmann, the independent Saxon manufacture celebrated for its uncompromising craftsmanship and technical ingenuity, introduces the latest evolution of its iconic BENU Power Reserve. This new interpretation embodies the brand’s guiding principle: progress in harmony with tradition.

A Dial That Captures Light and Time
The dial is the face of a watch — a canvas where heritage meets artistry. For the first time, the BENU Power Reserve combines its signature linear power reserve indicator with Azurage decoration. This intricate guilloché pattern of ultra-fine concentric grooves animates the outer chapter ring, creating a captivating interplay of light. The softly textured matte center in shimmering argenté silver contrasts with applied blue numerals and indices, while the brand logo and minute track appear in understated grey.

Completing this refined composition are newly designed hands, handcrafted from steel in the Glashütte atelier. Each hand is meticulously beveled, polished, and then heat-blued using traditional thermal treatment. Their elegant curvature and needle-fine tips exemplify the precision and artistry that define Moritz Grossmann.

The Poetry of Mechanics: Power Reserve Indicator
Mechanical timepieces invite interaction, and the power reserve display is a charming expression of this dialogue. Positioned beneath 12 o’clock, the linear indicator reveals a two-tone bar driven by a differential gear train. When fully wound, the bar appears white; as energy diminishes, a blue segment gradually advances — a subtle yet constant reminder of the living mechanism on the wrist.

Inside the Case: Calibre 100.2
At the heart of the BENU Power Reserve beats the Calibre 100.2, an evolution of the manufacture’s foundational movement. This hand-wound calibre incorporates a differential mechanism for the power reserve display and features the brand’s signature innovations: manual winding with a pusher, a cantilevered balance cock with micrometer screw adjustment, and a separately removable winding module. Through the sapphire crystal back, the movement reveals its artistry — broad Glashütte ribbing, hand-engraved cocks, and raised gold chatons secured by blued screws.

Classic Elegance in Every Detail
The BENU Power Reserve is offered in rose gold and white gold, each with a 41 mm case that reflects the brand’s commitment to timeless proportions. The case surfaces are finely brushed to a soft matte sheen, complemented by a cross-grooved crown and slender lugs. A grey hand-stitched leather strap with blue stitching echoes the dial’s accents, completing a harmonious design that speaks to connoisseurs of understated luxury.

A Legacy Reimagined
Founded in 1854 by visionary watchmaker Moritz Grossmann, the Glashütte tradition was revived in 2008 by master watchmaker Christine Hutter. Today, the manufactory continues to honor its heritage through innovation, artisanal excellence, and a dedication to the finest German craftsmanship.

Chronoswiss presents the ReSec Snake: A Venomous Twist on Modern Mechanical

Known for bold evolutions of mechanical wristwatches and daring designs, Chronoswiss unveils its latest creature: the ReSec Snake. Slithering between heritage and rebellion, this timepiece is a hypnotic blend of color, contrast, and kinetic energy — proof that modern mechanical watchmaking still has a few fangs to bear.

The Snake’s Bite

The ReSec Snake coils into view within a 42mm titanium case, coated with a mesmerizing color-changing PVD-coating that shifts from emerald green to turquoise, depending on the light. It’s not just a case — it’s iridescent armor, capturing the reptilian allure of a serpent in motion. Paired with a contrasting white rubber strap, the Snake wraps around the wrist with smooth, tactile elegance.

But the true venom lies beneath the sapphire crystal. A green CVD-coated dial, hand-guillochéd in the Lucerne Atelier, pulses with depth and hypnotic texture. It’s a dial that doesn’t just tell time — it seduces it.

Take a closer look, and the architecture reveals itself: the iconic 3D regulator layout of the ReSec series slithers across the dial, framed by green hour and minute rings and a retrograde second display, like the flick of a serpent’s tongue. Underneath, the exposed gear train glimmers in contrasting tones — a mechanical exoskeleton that moves with silent precision.

Fangs Beneath the Surface

Powering this cold-blooded beauty is the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6005, featuring a 55-hour power reserve, ruthenium-plated finishing, and a radial Côtes de Genève motif. It’s mechanical watchmaking at its sharpest: sleek, silent, and engineered to strike.

Limited. Lethal.

Only 100 pieces of the ReSec Snake will ever exist — a rare breed for collectors with a taste for the untamed. The ReSec Snake is a statement: of daring, of detail, and of defiance — proving once again that at Chronoswiss, we don’t follow rules. We shed them.
