ARMIN STROM - Armin Manual New Generation

ARMIN STROM - Armin Manual Collection New Generation

The ARMIN Manual Collection with its own in-house produced AMW11 calibre is presented in its latest execution, displaying many detailed improvements. In the development of the new generation, the focus was on the individual elements of the watch movement, to ensure that the exclusive Armin Strom series includes the state of the art technology. The readapted gear-train guarantees an even higher efficiency level.

In order to minimize the power loss within the watch movement, the integration of the escapement has also been improved. As is to be expected of a traditional Manufacture, the hand-finishing of the movement decoration is of the highest quality. The noble, highly attractive dial with its new multi-level structure, offers the watch greater depth. The ARMIN Manual Collection clearly strives for technical and aesthetic perfection in every model and is available in a Limited Series of the four elements: Earth, Water, Air and Fire.

 Calibres

 

It has taken Armin Strom AG only a short space of time to establish itself in the small exclusive circle of watch Manufacturies. All components of the watch movements come from its own production in Bienne and are subsequently further processed in time-consuming manual operations. The skeleton watchmaking tradition of Armin Strom lives on in a modern form in the watches with their special movement architecture.
In November 2009, Armin Strom AG presented its first in-house production movement, the ARM09, with double going barrel and a power reserve of one week.

Less than two years later, the young team of highly-qualified specialists is already introducing its second own-production movement at Baselworld 2011.
Like ARM09, the AMW11 (Armin Manual Winding 11) is also a manual winding calibre, but with a power reserve of some 120 hours.

Revelation - R01 Double Complication

Revelation - R01 Double Complication Limited Editions

The R01 Double Complication is the debut launch from REVELATION. 

The movement of this Haute Horlogerie timepiece mysteriously appears thanks to an ingenious patented system. A secret catch within the case releases the bezel which triggers the first of the two complications: the REVELATION System®. Unique in watchmaking, this mechanism comprises two polarised crystal discs that connect with a double differential to gradually reveal the second complication, the Tourbillon Manège®.

This authentic "manufacture" movement is entirely hand-finished. Form meets function for the exceptionally distinctive case which interacts perfectly with the two complications. Each metal is proposed as a 15-piece Limited Series.

 The proprietary Tourbillon Manège TM01 is the first calibre entirely conceived and developed by REVELATION. It is a new type of complication featuring an exceptional rotating regulating system. Fixed to the centre of the calibre, the carriage of the Tourbillon Manège^® performs one rotation per minute.
The escapement specially designed for this complication makes the heart of the Tourbillon Manège^® beat at the rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The four series-coupled barrels ensure a 48-hour power reserve for this hand-wound movement.

 The entire production of the parts is directed by REVELATION which manages the 40 subcontractors handling the production of the 300 or so components making up the two complications of the R01 watch.
The movement mainplate and bridges are in nickel silver, which enables extremely clean and accurate machining that facilitates the bevelling and the finishing.
The carriage is machined in titanium to optimise its weight.
The various parts of the REVELATION System^® are in rhodium-plated brass.
Each wheel is milled according to an optimised profile ensuring minimal energy loss between the barrels and the escapement.
The balance and spring assembly, in hard beryllium copper, was exclusively developed and produced for REVELATION.

 Very thin low-reflective polarizer discs for watch applications
The highly promising young watch brand REVELATION decided to call on CSEM's expertise to create the polarizing discs that play such a key role in its patented innovation. Parts already available within the industry simply did not guarantee the optimal combination REVELATION's founders required. The aim - to open the watch to admire the mechanism while it's on your wrist. In the closed position - obtain maximum opacity along with the additional assurance of the watch remaining waterproof.
The REVELATION SYSTEM® - Polarizing discs coupled with a differential
Drawing upon their know-how and their cutting-edge equipment, CSEM engineers combined an existing treatment with one developed specifically for achieving the greatest possible transparency in the open position, maximum opacity in the closed position. This is made possible by an ingenious optical system coupling, when the bezel is opened, the rotation of two polarizing glass discs.
To ensure the discs play their "on/off" role correctly, REVELATION design engineers transformed the vertical bezel opening movement into a rotation.
CSEM technology inside
Polarization is a distinctive directional feature of light: light rays can be given a specific direction by passing them through a polarizing filter. By combining two polarizing filters, one can determine the direction of light, permitting it either to pass through the filters or not, depending on the orientation of the second polarizer.
The technological challenge lies in:

    Reducing light loss by using anti-reflective sub-wavelength structures and the specific low-reflective materials of the polarizer, improving the visibility of the interior watch mechanism.
    Enhancing light transmission to render the watch mechanism highly visible (open position). The incoming light must pass four times through the polarizers: after passing through the polarizers, the light is reflected by the mechanism and passes a second time through the pair rendering the mechanism visible when the polarizing discs are in a parallel orientation.
    Ambient light being the only available light source, with no backlight involved. Light loss through the surface reflection of the polarizers needed to be reduced to provide good visibility of the watch interior, even at low ambient light levels.
