STROM Memento Mori, Carpe Diem – One Hand Watch

Posted on by

With this timepiece, Swiss watch maker STROM reminds us about the hour of that final journey. The Memento Mori, Carpe Diem – One Hand invites us to live to the full the time we have left, shown on a single hand. Minutes and seconds are forgotten, only the present moment – or rather the present hour –counts. Giving form to this philosophical, and rather hedonistic, reflection is a hand-crafted watch.

The skull-embellished case has been made by hand, while the guilloché on the dial is produced using rose engine lathes that are 150 years old. This exceptional mechanical timepiece will be produced in 99-piecelimited series for each dial execution – black or bone white.
