The Ultimate Collector’s Edition: Armin Strom and Horomariobro Introduce a Masterpiece of Watchmaking.
The creative and renowned watch collector Horomariobro, dubbed “the King of Macro photography” on Instagram had the desire for Armin Strom to create a unique piece. The result – the Pure Resonance Ultimate Sapphire with a sapphire dial, a unique highly symmetrical design with exquisite hand decorations – turned out so visually striking that it was decided to share it with an exclusive few.
In a surprising and groundbreaking collaboration, renowned watch collector Horomariobro, acclaimed for his captivating macro photography on Instagram, joined forces with Armin Strom to create a truly unique timepiece. The result of their collaboration is the Pure Resonance Ultimate Sapphire, a limited edition watch that pushes the boundaries of design and craftsmanship. This exceptional timepiece showcases the mastery of Armin Strom’s watchmaking skills and highlights the influence and discerning taste of Horomariobro in the watchmaking industry.
The concept for Armin Strom Pure Resonance Ultimate Sapphire was born out of Horomariobro’s desire to have a one-of-a-kind Armin Strom Resonance timepiece in his esteemed collection. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and unrivaled macro photography, Horomariobro’s discerning eye separates extraordinary haute horlogerie finishes from the ordinary. With tens of thousands of followers on Instagram, he has gained a revered position among watch collectors, making his collaboration with Armin Strom all the more significant.
The Pure Resonance Ultimate Sapphire stands out as the most minimalist Resonance timepiece produced by Armin Strom in their fully integrated manufacture in Biel/Bienne. To fulfill Horomariobro’s vision, a sapphire dial was applied, resulting in a visually striking and highly symmetrical design. In a bold move, the small seconds and Armin Strom’s historical lip on the case at 6 o’clock were removed, creating a clean and uncluttered aesthetic. Even the logo was omitted, with only a subtle AS symbol engraved on a movement component, further emphasizing the watch’s minimalist appeal. These radical reductions not only enhance the overall symmetry but also showcase Armin Strom’s exceptional in-house capabilities for movement production and haute horlogerie decorations.
The Pure Resonance Ultimate Sapphire, with its masterful craftsmanship, demonstrates Armin Strom’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of horological innovation. The timepiece is a testament to the brand’s expertise in producing intricate movements and exquisite hand-made decorations. It showcases the remarkable resonance clutch spring that connects the two balance wheels, enabling them to oscillate in perfect harmony with each other.
Co-founder and master watchmaker of Armin Strom, Claude Greisler, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “It was a very organic and creative collaboration, and sometimes you need a push from the outside to make radical changes that you wouldn’t dare to think about yourself, like removing the seconds. The end result was so impressive that we decided, together, to create a limited edition of 10 pieces.”
Exclusively available through Oster Jewelers in Denver, USA, the Pure Resonance Ultimate Sapphire limited edition timepiece is a true collector’s item.
