Golden resonance for the frequent traveller
Armin Strom extends its Dual Time GMT Resonance collection with a new expression in 18K rose gold. The 39.00 mm case, 9.05 mm in height and 44.50 mm lug-to-lug, frames twin time displays set against a black gold coloured grenage surface.
Rose gold coloured polished hands and applied indexes contrast with the black azurage chapter rings that delineate each time zone. The anthracite matte grey alligator strap with grey stitching and an 18K rose gold pin buckle completes a focused, contemporary travel watch that remains discreet on the wrist.
The ARF22 and the science of resonance
At the core of the Dual Time GMT Resonance Rose Gold lies the manufacture calibre ARF22, a manual-winding movement designed, developed and produced in-house. Its defining feature is Armin Strom’s patented resonance clutch, which connects two independent regulating systems and allows them to oscillate in synchrony, using the resonance phenomenon to seek greater stability and chronometric consistency.
Operating at 3.5 Hz (25,200 vibrations per hour) with a 42-hour power reserve, the ARF22 turns an esoteric physical principle into a complication suited to daily travel. Each time zone is displayed with its own hours, minutes and day/night indicator at 6 o’clock on each dial, giving an intuitive reading of home and local time at a glance.
Finishing in motion
True to Armin Strom’s “Science of Movement” philosophy, the Dual Time GMT Resonance Rose Gold showcases both mechanical innovation and meticulous hand-finishing. Sapphire crystals on both sides reveal the calibre’s layered construction, while the engraved, mirror-polished day/night indicators with sun and moon motifs at 6 o’clock of each dial provide visual interest and clarity.
The movement’s surfaces feature hand-polished bevels, black-polished components, circular graining and perlage that catch the light with every movement of the wrist. On the back, Côtes de Genève accentuate the bridges and highlight the movement’s graphic design. Each watch is assembled twice to enhance mechanical reliability and to ensure that every component meets haute horlogerie standards.
Limited, precise, and deliberately focused
The 18K rose gold case, water-resistant to 5 ATM, houses a movement composed of 231 components and 40 jewels, reflecting Armin Strom’s low-volume, in-house production. Limited to 50 pieces worldwide, the Dual Time GMT Resonance Rose Gold offers a concentrated expression of independent Swiss watchmaking: technical, rigorously finished and specialised. With a price of CHF 115’000, it speaks to collectors who value the rarity of the resonance complication and the transparency of an open-worked, hand-finished calibre.
Why it matters
By uniting a dual time display, a patented resonance clutch and a compact 39 mm 18K rose gold case, Armin Strom shows how independent watchmaking can balance scientific rigour with daily usability. The Dual Time GMT Resonance Rose Gold stands as a low-volume alternative to mainstream travel watches, underscoring the brand’s commitment to in-house development, artisanal finishing and mechanical transparency from its Biel/Bienne manufacture.
