BaselWorld 2013 : Armin Strom
Armin Strom showed their new automatic micro-rotor the "Gravity" and the series versions of their new tourbillon.
As for all their models they are available in 4 decoration versions, Air, Water, Earth and Fire.
The Gravity is movement is based on the one week movement with its double barrel. The space of one of the barrels is dedicated to the micro-rotor. The winding is uni-directional, the pawls and rachet on the rotor axle. As with all the Armin Strom movements the magic is all visible from the dial side.
Armin Strom is continuing their path, determinedly expanding their model line, advancing in their desire to be a completely in house manufacturer. Their decoration gets better each year, the dial finishing in particular has made a big leap since I last saw them last year.
The watches from Armin Strom are worth a good hard look.

Very interesting product line and movements ... I would love to see a deep review. I'm always curious to see how efficient is the winding of a micro rotor. For sure is a brand to be folowed. Cheers, Nilo

Confused: micro-rotor and Manual Don, Thanks for the photo report. I'm a bit confused. You say micro-rotor automatic and indeed, the rotor can be seen in the front at 4 o'clock position. But the case back is engraved: 'Manual'........? In any case (sic) I like the dark metal case of the ...

You certainly are a difficult customer Melvyn :) Those are, of course, prototype movements in existing cases. I am sure that will all be cleaned up by the time it is really in production. Don

I like the look of these watches They display an obvious interest in the movements without being too delicate or busy (once they get the movements in the right cases, or the labeling sorted out) Thanks Don. Cheers Cazalea
