At first sight, the Armin Strom AG of today has little in common with the master skeletonizer’s earlier business. Individual pieces made meticulously by hand took centre stage and, for many years, Armin Strom worked alone. Today, the company is a true watchmaking Manufacture equipped with the most modern machine tools, its employees producing watches in limited series in its own factory.
Nevertheless, there are many similarities with Armin Strom, past and present. For one, without Armin Strom, the person, there would be no brand. Above all, it’s Armin’s watchmaking values that characterise the company today: a passion for the smallest detail, striving for tech-nical and aesthetic perfection. Furthermore, it’s the belief that – as an object of fine mechanical art – a hand- finished movement is too good to remain hidden between a watch face and case back.
Today, Armin Strom AG continues to develop and manufacture new watches oriented to contemporary design. Here, the visible movement is not only mechanically in focus, but also optically. The way the spring, the gear-train and escapement interact with each other becomes a three-dimensional experience for the observer in which the functionality is transparent: a new interpretation of the watchmaking tradition of skeletonising.
A prerequisite for making watches with movements manufactured in-house was to build up parts production capabilities, from 2008. Only those who make their own plates, bridges, levers, springs, wheels, pinions and screws can control the production process at all levels and thereby bring a movement from idea to production with the re-quired quality. All timepieces in the current collection are limited, and so too, the models of tomorrow will be produced in series of hundreds, rather than thousands.

THE MANUFACTURE
5150
Eroding: the profiles of bridges, levers and springs are cut out by material-preserving wire erosion.
FABRICATION
With only a few exceptions, Armin Strom designs and manu-factures all the parts of the Manufacture’s movement in-house: plates, bridges, wheels, levers, springs, screws. A decision in favour of quality: those who control the manufacturing process from raw material to end product can stand behind their watch without any ifs or buts. Quality is also at the forefront when it comes to fundamentally renouncing stamped movement parts. At Armin Strom, the parts are drilled, milled, turned and wire-eroded but never stamped. In a later date, the timepieces are finished in myriad ways: through skeletonizing, engraved bridges, the application of decorative grained patterns or polished levers.
Even in the early phases of development, design and fabrication work closely together – a major benefit in a small Manufacture.
DESIGN
5352
Almost finished – Setting the hands is one of the final operations before encasing the movement.
ASSEMBLYDECORATION
By decorating its watch move-ments by hand with polishing of the movement parts, engravings and ground patterns, the Armin Strom Manufacture is keeping alive the time-honoured craft val-ues of the watchmaker’s art. Some of the small details of the finish are only visible under the loupe.
