It’s interesting to think about the journey of the resonance watch at Armin Strom — its first execution of a dual-time resonance watch, in the Masterpiece 1, was a sardine can on the wrist at 59mm wide by 43.4mm long, and a height of almost 16mm. To buy that piece was to purely support the exploration of resonance watchmaking, and certainly not to test the limit of your shirt cuffs.
So it seems quite miraculous that a few years later, the brand created a watch that applied the same principle in a case that would be considered casually-sized for a simple time-only watch these days. In the ‘Manufacture Edition’ of the Dual Time GMT Resonance, the new monochromatic look paired with an epic complication makes for a watch that I think will easily resonate with many collectors. A quick look at the market reminds anyone looking for such a watch that just not that many people are truly doing what Armin Strom is, and certainly not at the quantities the brand is capable of producing.
