ARMIN STROM
TOURBILLON SKELETON EARTH
Introducing a new rendition of Armin Strom's aesthetic
inspiration. True to a now established principle, the Tourbillon
Skeleton collection embraces the theme of the four elements.
A first version in natural steel with blue accents was named
Water. A second, in pink gold and brown tones, answered to
the name of Fire. Another in lighter titanium took the name of
Air. The version in black PVD-treated steel is known as Earth.
At the same time, the Biel-based manufacturer demonstrates
the skeletonwork in which it excels. Thus the Tourbillon
Skeleton Earth accentuates its structure through extensive
skeletonisation of the ATC11-S calibre. This exclusive in-
house movement integrates a tourbillon regulator whose
components are also skeletonised. The prowess lies in this
mastery of technique, with a movement that delivers a full
10 days of power reserve, but also in the spectacular sight
enclosed within the 43.40-mm black case.
