Following the warm welcome given to its premier Resonance watch in rose gold which launched in 2016, Armin Strom extends the limited edition collection with a new stainless steel variant with a dark blue alligator skin strap.  In light of the materials and color, and in keeping with its “elemental” theme, Armin Strom dubs this watch the Armin Strom Mirrored Force Resonance “Water.” 
If you are new to this timepiece, let me quickly break it down for you.  The Armin Strom “Mirrored Force Resonance” — built around a sophisticated resonating dual regulator system — is the most complicated timepiece that Armin Strom manufactures (and yes they do make tourbillons).  The raison d?être of the Mirrored Force Resonance is to display the interesting functionality of the resonant balances while improving the watch?s overall precision.   The concept of resonance is basically this:  two oscillating bodies in close proximity influence each other and eventually synchronize.  The advantages of resonance are three-fold, essentially being 1) advantageous to accuracy, 2) energy efficiency, and 3) rate stabilization (see “Did You Know"” below for more).  Of course all this is easier said than done when it comes to watchmaking, which is why “resonance” watches are rarely seen coming out of Switzerland . And of course, Armin Strom designers opted to place the entire captivating mechanism on full display on th...
