A movement crafted and hand-finished in Biel. \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARMIN STROM presents a new interpretation of the Mirrored Force Resonance, distinguished by a dial crafted from natural ruby - a gemstone prized for its vivid character and intrinsic vitality. Each dial is cut from genuine ruby, selected for the depth of its colour and the nuances only nature can create. No two stones are identical. Fine inclusions and tonal variations are not imperfections, but signatures of authenticity - traces of a material formed over millions of years. The ruby introduces a vibrant mineral intensity that contrasts with the architectural symmetry of the resonance movement. Its natural luminosity interacts subtly with light, revealing shifting red tones that bring warmth and presence to the exposed mechanics. Created in collaboration with a local stone artisan, this edition reflects Claude Greisler’s belief that materials must carry meaning beyond aesthetics. In ruby, symbolism and mechanics converge. Ruby has always played an essential role in watchmaking. Within the movement, synthetic ruby jewels minimise friction and ensure long-term precision. On the dial, natural ruby asserts its presence - while engineered ruby ensures performance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoused in a 43 mm stainless steel case and paired with a grey Alcantara strap with white stitching, the Ruby edition delivers a powerful mineral presence. White printed Roman numerals complete the display, adding a classical counterpoint to the watch’s contemporary structural design.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResonance, Perfected\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the timepiece beats the manual-winding manufacture Calibre ARF21, entirely designed, developed and produced in-house. Its patented Resonance Clutch synchronises two independent regulating systems, allowing the twin balance wheels to oscillate in harmonic resonance. The result is enhanced chronometric stability and long-term precision. A pusher at 2 o’clock resets both seconds counters simultaneously, offering a visual demonstration of the resonance phenomenon in action. Operating at 3.5 Hz (25,200 vph) with a 48-hour power reserve, the movement transforms a centuries-old scientific principle into a modern mechanical achievement.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned to Matter\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe movement showcases Armin Strom’s approach to hand-finishing.

The interplay between the vivid ruby dial and the exposed mechanics creates a dynamic three-dimensional kinetic display. As with all Armin Strom timepieces, each watch is assembled twice to ensure both mechanical performance and finishing excellence.

It definitively achieves the longstanding horological ambitions for Resonance Synchronization that originated with Christiaan Huygens’s clock experiments in 1665.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackground\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARMIN STROM’s breakthrough achievement, stable and resilient Resonance, had been pursued since the 17th century by watchmaking pioneers like Christiaan Huygens because of its potential to deliver chronometric consistency — the gain or loss of precisely the same number of seconds each day, without fluctuation. Marine navigators of Huygens’s era were desperate for chronometric consistency so they could more accurately calculate longitude at sea. Despite the efforts of some of history’s most iconic watchmakers, chronometric consistency wasn’t achieved when it was needed most — because the Resonance Fragility Problem rendered Resonance timepieces unsuitable for the rigours of oceanic travel. Resonance simply couldn’t be maintained in dynamic, real-world conditions — until 2016. That’s when Armin Strom’s Claude Greisler, inspired by the suspension system found in Antide Janvier’s 18th-century Resonance Clock, introduced the first wristwatch to achieve Resonance with near-absolute resilience against disruption. Certified by the Centre Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM), ARMIN STROM’s patented solution actively mitigates torque fluctuations to maintain synchronization in the most challenging environments, including the human wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical Context\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLongitude historically required consistent, not perfect, timekeeping — because predictable daily variations could be factored into calculations of longitude. Back when navigators calculated longitude at sea by comparing the local “solar noon” (when the sun was highest) with the time at a known reference point, the potential for Resonance to deliver timekeeping consistency would have revolutionized navigation and saved many lives by improving Longitude calculations — but only if it could have been achieved with resiliency against disruption. As noted by Sir Isaac Newton in his speech to Parliament in 1714 establishing the Board of Longitude, “By reason of the motion of the ship, the variation of heat and cold, wet and dry, and the difference of gravity at different latitudes, such a watch hath not yet been made.” Had Christiaan Huygens successfully developed his Resonance Sea Clock in the 1600s, with the necessary resiliency against disruption, the Longitude Problem could have been effectively solved over a hundred years before John Harrison presented his H4 marine chronometer in 1759. Initially spurred by promises of great wealth offered by various European governments who sought a resilient chronometric solution for improved maritime navigation, the watchmaking challenge of harnessing Resonance resiliently remained elusive for four centuries, until Armin Strom’s Claude Greisler finally solved it in 2016 with the introduction of our first Resonance timepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Milestone in Resonance Watchmaking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn horology, the Resonance Phenomenon — known in physics as Huygens Synchronization — occurs when two balance wheels influence each other via the exchange of subtle, almost imperceptible vibrations and enter into a state of synchronized oscillation. Physicists describe this phenomenon as “shared modes of motion.” The benefit lies in oscillation rate stability. Resonance can prevent typical timing errors ordinarily caused by wrist motion, gravity, temperature shifts, and mild shocks. Depending on the design, a Resonance timepiece can deliver timekeeping precision, chronometric consistency, or both. Chronometric consistency means that a watch gains or loses exactly the same number of seconds each day, without variation. How well this Resonance Synchronization is maintained in fact depends on the technical solution, with Resonance timepieces being historically plagued by The Resonance Fragility Problem. That refers to how poor resilience against disruption had rendered the chronometric benefits of Resonance Synchronization intermittent, unpredictable, and unquantifiable. In prior movement architectures, the balance wheels tend to repeatedly drift apart in response to wrist motion and mild shocks, and then draw each other back into alignment — without the predictability required for any quantifiable chronometric benefit. Armin Strom’s patented Resonance Clutch and Resonance Suspension System sustain the Resonance phenomenon continuously and predictably, ensuring both chronometric precision and timekeeping consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Armin Strom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156061503659,"sku":"ST25-RF.ZG","price":108000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2783\/3515\/files\/5273749821.jpg?v=1780343718"},{"product_id":"armin-strom-st25rf05-mirrored-force-resonance-ice-blue","title":"Armin Strom ST25.RF.05 Mirrored Force Resonance Ice Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eIce Blue sunrays.
