Armin Strom TRIBUTE 1 FUMe
COLORED FOURSOMEBurgundy, slate, sky or ocean? Four limited series of one of the independent brand’s star models dress up in bright gradient tones that set off their exclusive personality.State-of-the-artness and stylistics interact fabulously in Armin Strom‘s Tribute 1 watch unveiled in 2021, thanks to the firm’s one-of-a-kind know-how. The four never-seen-before variations rolled out as the year comes to an end champion this distinctive character. They all boast a colored dial that displays hours, minutes and seconds. An ever-so subtle gradient-toned fume hue, like the ones imagined back in the 70s, contrasts amazingly with the impressive traditional guilloche engraving that surrounds it. Each Tribute 1 Fume version, be it the gray, red, light blue or dark blue dial, is available in just 10 pieces, and is worn on a gray Alcantara calfskin strap attached by a folding clasp.Like the previous creations, these Tribute 1 Fume timepieces are driven by the AMW21 caliber, equipped with a flat hairspring and a variable inertia balance wheel. This manual-winding movement, assembled using at least 135 components, delivers a substantial 100-hour power reserve. The barrel anchored by a stylized bridge set at 5 o’clock and decorated with the inscription “Manual winding – One hundred hours of power reserve” reflects the device’s performance. The crown, off-centered at 2 o’clock, ensures setting and winding actions are ever-so easy. The sapphire-crystal back of the 38 mm-diameter, 9.38 mm-high steel case invites to admire the handcrafted finishes on the baseplate and bridges, to name but two. In short, perfection’s not an option.
