Armin Strom, the Swiss watch manufacturer, has unveiled Tourbillon Gravity Fire, a tourbillon watch with a micro rotor winding mechanism.

The introduction is less than a year after the release of Armin Strom’s first calibre with a rotating carriage. On the dial side, the timepiece reveals the two opposites that animate every watch movement: winding and regulation. While the tourbillon mechanism makes regulation more precise by reducing the effect of gravity, the micro rotor harnesses this same power to supply energy to the gear train, thus exploiting both the positive and negative impacts of the Earth’s gravitation. The hands display the time from an off-centre axis.

The Armin Strom Tourbillon Gravity Fire continues this unique design style and features the flame motif inspired engraving, which adorns all Fire timepiece movements, together with an 18ct rose gold case. The new edition will be limited to 50 pieces.
