To commemorate its new partnership with Wealth Solutions in Poland, Armin Strom created a highly unusual wristwatch. The movement of the mechanical timepiece features a small capsule containing a 1762 Gautier Cognac, which was owned by Wealth Solutions.

Armin Strom chief horologist Claude Greisler devised a concept that protects the movement while incorporating the rare spirit. A sealed sapphire crystal disc positioned at 5 o'clock captures the rare Cognac. Manual wind with a five-day power reserve, the watch will be produced in stainless steel, 18k rose gold and titanium cases. On the backside, a hand- engraved design of a bunch of grapes decorates the base plate.

Founded in 2007, Wealth Solutions curates and sells exceptional products, such as art, fine wine and spirits, and watches, to Polish collectors and other clients. In April 2014 Wealth Solutions purchased the oldest authenticated bottle of Cognac - a 1762 Gaultier Cognac bottled in 1840 — ever sold at a public auction.

In a ceremony on November 4, 2015, announcing Wealth Solutions as the new Armin Strom distributor in Poland, the rare bottle was opened, decanted and sealed in flacons.

The manual-wind Cognac Watch, with the capsule at 5 o'clock and the hand engraving on the base plate, exemplifies Armin Strom's philosophy of innovation while maintaining the traditions of Swiss watchmaking.
