DELPHIS ART DECO

Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, 26 June 2024: Following the inaugural redesigned One Week First Edition that made its debut in 2023, Armin Strom unveils a new version of the successor to its first-ever manufacture movement with the One Week Manufacture Edition. The highly architectural openworked movement, housed in a sleek and sporty steel case with an integrated bracelet, is now presented in a range of grey and anthracite hues. Limited to 100 pieces, the One Week Manufacture Edition foregoes colour to bring out the beauty of its uniquely constructed manual calibre.

15 years ago, independent watchmaking brand Armin Strom took a major leap that would forever change its trajectory. Realising that the path to true independence lies in mastering every step of the process, it established its very own manufacture in Biel. A year later, the first timepiece produced by its vertically integrated manufacture was unveiled: the One Week. Entirely developed and manufactured in-house and designed with symmetrical harmony in mind, it stood out thanks to its unique movement architecture featuring two barrels that together provide a seven-day power reserve. This milestone marked the beginning of many new calibres and innovations by the Armin Strom manufacture, showcasing their dedication to the science of movement and garnering the admiration and respect of even the most discerning and seasoned collectors.

The new One Week Manufacture Edition completely reimagines this milestone calibre in line with the brand’s recent bolder, more three-dimensional approach to calibre design, all in a sleek and serene execution that further highlights its ingenuity and uniqueness. The mainplate, bridges and parts, visible on the dial thanks to the openworked movement design, are anthracite PVD coated for a striking look.

As Armin Strom founder Serge Michel notes: “Collectors who missed the opportunity to get a first edition of the redesigned One Week will now have another chance. The Manufacture Edition of the new One Week will be limited to 100 pieces.”

Sporty yet classy, this model exudes calmness and serenity with its anthracite tones and the symmetrical harmony of its in-house movement.

The watchmaker from Lucerne presents a fusion of innovation, heritage, and the beauty of nature.

Chronoswiss is thrilled to announce the release of two new masterpieces in the Strike Two series: the "Strike Two Terra" and the "Strike Two Highland." Each limited to just 100 pieces, these exclusive timepieces represent a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship, innovative design, and the breathtaking allure of Earth's most inspiring landscapes.

Building on the pioneering spirit of the '90s Chronoswiss Tora, the Strike Two series pays homage to the brand's heritage with its unique horizontal regulator setup. The new Terra and Highland models serve as gateways to the future of timekeeping in Lucerne, embracing the past while forging ahead with groundbreaking artistry.

Renowned for bold, boundary-pushing designs, the watchmakers from Lucerne proudly unveil the latest creation: The ReSec Beast Manufacture. This audacious statement of color, form, and fearless design dares to transcend the confines of traditional watchmaking, challenging conventions with every tick.

A timepiece focused on the essential—yet anything but ordinary.

Chronoswiss proudly introduces the Small Second, the beginning of a new family in the Modern Mechanical collection. The vision? To create a bold mechanical timepiece, stripped of excess yet rich in craftsmanship and detail.

With its 40mm stainless steel case and slim 11.5mm profile, the Small Second is the sleekest Chronoswiss in the current collection. Designed with refinement and precision, the case features polished sides, sandblasted & sculpted lugs, as well as the most streamlined crown the watchmakers of Lucerne have ever created. Every detail serves a purpose, ensuring a fascinating mechanical experience.

Yet, focusing on the true essence does not mean compromise. The curved dial construction, intricate 3D layering, and handcrafted dials transform the Small Second into a study of watchmaking complexity.

At its heart beats the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6000—ensuring precision, reliability, and the unmistakable rhythm of a true mechanical timepiece.

The finesse of curves With its graceful curves and wide apertures, Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton also stands out for its slimness. Its new case, with a diameter of 41.5 mm and a thickness of 8.4 mm, presents the flying tourbillon calibre in its purest expression. The Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton collection, adorned in red gold or platinum, is issued in two limited series featuring 28 watches apiece. Arnold & Son continues its tour of the Ultrathin Tourbillon collection. The A&S8320 calibre unveils its curves, apertures and details within a 41.5 mm case in either red gold (5N) or platinum (PT 950), each released in a run of 28 timepieces. Encased in this precious housing, Arnold & Son’s flying tourbillon stands out for its finesse and precision. Finesse, because at just 3.3 mm thick, it is one of the slimmest skeleton tourbillon calibres in existence. Precision, because this one-minute flying tourbillon is assembled with a variable-inertia balance for enhanced calibration stability.
