A new interpretation of Armin Strom’s signature timepiece, the Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire Blue, joins the System 78 collection with a cooler, glacial-toned aesthetic.

This new edition highlights the transparency and depth of the collection’s distinctive architecture while introducing a refined palette of silvery greys and soft blue tones, evoking the tranquil clarity of Switzerland’s glacial lakes and alpine light.

A study of landscape and architecture

Housed in a 41 mm stainless steel case, the Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire Blue retains the defining features of the model, reimagined through a new chromatic lens.

At its centre lies a richly textured, glacial blue guilloché main plate crafted by independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen. The open dial — positioned asymmetrically on the left side—is made of transparent sapphire, revealing the silvery components below.

The cooler colour palette continues throughout the movement, with the micro-rotor, equal-force barrel and finger bridges hand finished in rhodium to match the gear-train.

These tones contrast cleanly with the transparent sapphire dial, while the blue nubuck leather strap ties the whole look together with a modern, streamlined finish.

Controlling torque with delivery on time

The watch is powered by Armin Strom’s proprietary Caliber ASB19, the first automatic movement to feature a stop-work declutch mechanism combined with a Geneva cross within the barrel.

This patented system ensures that the force delivered to the balance remains constant throughout the 72-hour power reserve, greatly improving isochronism.

The movement’s compact micro-rotor allows it to be wound efficiently while preserving a thin and elegant profile.

Visible through the front and back sapphire crystals, the movement showcases a thoughtful integration of engineering and aesthetics—delivering consistent precision in a visually open design.

A Commitment to Hand-Finishing

Every component of the ASB19 is hand-finished in Armin Strom’s manufacture in Biel.

The bridges are bevelled and polished by hand; screws are black polished. Traditional decoration techniques—such as perlage, Geneva stripes and circular graining — are applied with care, underscoring the brand’s belief that hand-finishing is integral to its identity.
