Armin Strom Celebrates its 10-Year Anniversary with the Groundbreaking Minute Repeater Resonance
While Armin Strom (the man) began his watchmaking career in 1967, the contemporary brand that is headed by Strom’s longtime family friend Serge Michel and his watchmaking partner Claude Greisler was established in 2009. That makes 2019, a year already packed full of anniversaries, the ten-year celebration of the brand’s vertically integrated manufacture in Biel/Bienne. Armin Strom has done an impressive job of establishing itself as an independent watchmaking force within the minds of collectors and enthusiasts over the past decade, with its recent efforts in pioneering new forms of resonance application the obvious highlight. To commemorate the decennial, Armin Strom has announced the Minute Repeater Resonance, the second timepiece within the brand’s Masterpiece collection that began last year with the memorable Dual Time Resonance.

The Armin Strom Minute Repeater Resonance offers the immediate distinction of being the world’s first chiming wristwatch that features the phenomenon of resonance. The brand says it was inspired by a clock tower called the Zytglogge that has stood in the center of Bern for over 800 years. Not only has the quarter-and-hour chiming tower (equipped with four automatons) served the canton of Bern for over half a millenium, it is rumored to have also helped inspire a young Albert Einstein hone his theory of relativity while working as a patent clerk in town.
