Behind the Gravity Equal Force by Armin Strom

[@rogermasson3315]

Damn you're back at it again. Nowhere can we, watch enthusiasts, find such detailed reports on watches AND their mechanisms. You're doing the lord's work

[@watchestv-com]

That's nice to hear, thanks a lot for this 👍👍👍

[@lordsothful]

very impressive setup and love their in-house philosophy and capabilities!

[@tommyrin5969]

This is the one watch that resonates to my taste the most, as a person obsessed with symmetry, this one hits all the marks. Visually sold, it has an interesting invention attached to it in regards to the movement which is a plus.

[@watchestv-com]

Happy you like it!!! Best to you

[@arminstrom]

amazing, thank you!

We love these comments 👍👍👍 THANKS

[@WatchGeek]

My local watchmaker that services all my watches always tells me there is only one problem that needs to be solved to get a perfect timekeeper - making the force as constant as possible, and that is exactly what they did here!! It's impressive they did it without the chain or snail sistem

[@watchestv-com]

Indeed an intelligent and purposeful development!! Thanks for the comment

[@dmax5722]

I was not a fan of this particular design initially, but the explanation of the concept changed my mind. Impressive in house manufacturing. Alas, another watch added to my list...

[@arminstrom]

We are more than happy that the explanation changed your mind and we have made it on your watch list :)

Recently discovered this magnificent watch, and hope that I will be able to add one to my collection soon.

Dear Jules, thank you for your feedback! We are not exhibiting in Basel. We are in Geneva during Watches & Wonders in the Carré des horlogers. Please drop us an email if you would like to see the piece in Basel. It would be our pleasure to show it you in person.

[@jayebirdjb7143]

Very nice new designed watches. The dial is very easy to read and the open skeleton is a perfect contrast with each other. Hopefully they will apply different finishes, materials and colors on the skeleton parts.

[@arminstrom]

We will, stay tuned.

A lot of innovation in watches these days, great to see. It's a nice watch too, the type of skeletonization that appeals, with the combination of a dial as well; nice video.

@@arminstrom No problem. As an engineer myself I appreciate both the engineering and the innovation.

[@Kpiotr]

I must admit that Armin Strom never spoke to me, maybe most photos don't give them justice and make them look rather boring. But now seeing them in a video, plus the tech background they have, it all makes sense. And I got to do my homework!

[@arminstrom]

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that the video changed your mind about our timepieces. You have to seem them in the metal, there is a lot to be discovered.

I really like the dial, that gives the movement enough place to shine, while it is very legible. I have to watch the video again, to understand the way of the lasting force is working. Unfortunately only 30m wr.

[@menaseven9093]

Very nice that Armin Storm have machine that makes 90% of their watches parts.

[@arminstrom]

Dear Mena, thank you for your comment. You are right we are using CNC and other machines to cut the pieces out of the raw material. But we invest a lot of time and emotion after into the decoration of our movements. Thanks to the finger touch of our watchmakers, each piece receives its personal note. Embellishing all parts of a movement makes every Armin Strom watch akin to a hand-crafted piece of jewelry, edges of plates, bridges and levers are perfectly chamfered or, as the watchmakers call it, beveled. For the classic finishing such as the Geneva stripes or the Perlage we are using traditional machines for grinding patterns onto the pieces. We do not compromise when it comes to the decoration of our watches. We strive for technical and esthetical perfection, and are proud of the production depth in our manufactory as well as of the sensibility and craftsmanship of our collaborators.

Well that is clearly an excellent innovation, one that will be apriciated from the watch word, with excellent price point. And yet the world will prefer to buy the crown... Just saying.. Great video MAD as always....

Just out of curiosity. What CAD software are they using?

[@ChrisBeckman]

WoW... this could be the next ‘magic lever’ system of the future... to not have a mainspring dip into that low power arena only can produce a more even and accurate mainspring release of power.... Yes?

That's right!!

[@arminstrom]

Let's try it ;)

[@mehmettemel8725]

An interesting looking watch which is not over crowded like other skeleton watches but I believe could do with a touch of color on certain parts anodising or coating too much stainless steel inside.Then again that's my opinion everyone has different taste.

[@aehamobissi9720]

Watchs TV i love your videos I'm trying to apply in one of those company's but no one answer I need help

Can be a bit difficult I know... Thanks for the comment, but don't know if I can be of much help either!

I know it's actually super difficult for me because I live in Kuwait and tried many times for example like (rolex or patek philippe even AP) but nothing still I'm gana keep trying because I really love the watch endestriy and I won't to be a part of it

[@petterbalfour356]

Make a aus or german forg high iron mix w a little chromium for bracelet, very flat links, w tiny screws holding it together, need loctite on screws, then sandpaper, may as well had a threaded rod to lock it on ur wrist, so in other words need a tool to take on and off, had enough surface area of threads w high % iron so the threads grip enough so no chance of coming off.

[@MsJake199]

so many ´high end´ watches have a small dial with exposed movement front and sceletonised bridges... seems a bit repetitive to me

[@watchestv-com]

But it's a combination that works ;)

[@arminstrom]

For this one we turned the barrel upside down. Next time we take care of the dial;)

[@Opal_Spectrum]

good quality timepieces but they should work more on design > I don't like the architecture - from 1 side it want look modern but some parts are 'classic' which doesn't work for me .. other thing is that the dial should be on the right side of 'watch face' because it's more practical and easier to read.

[@watchestv-com]

Understand your point about being on the right side, hadn't think of this ;)

[@arminstrom]

Thanks for your feedback on the design.

Watches that don't look like watches are either hit or miss, I appreciate the engineering behind this watch, but visually, I personally see no beauty in the look.

[@arminstrom]

Thanks for your feedback.

[@watchestv-com]

Always quite personal and that's totally fine 👍

[@ianjohnhorwood2605]

The finishing of these watches on show here in this video looked slightly below par on the outer casing and on the extreme close up shots shown of the watches. For the prices they are asking for them, there are some more practical watches including the finishing for around their price, including a few in house watches. In all I don't think they are quite competitive enough at the moment for the money, or the complications that a few brands can sell at around their price. I will also take my fine GS spring drive gmt chronographs for their price, over these watches any day of the week, while also my GS's are also better daily wear watches, including their having complications too. A JLC would be a better buy for example, not to mention some other brands of similar ilk etc. Even iwc can make a watch at this armin strom price bracket. There are quite a few brands that will be a better deal with the quality expected of such watches, including the history and the heritage of such brands. There are too many decent watches at this price range, including taking in some high quality used buy watches, that can put some higher price point quality watches into the mix. The watch market including some quality is already a very populated area. Also I think that a glasshute original would be a better option also, possibly also a used lange. There are really too many decent watches already to name.
