Armin Strom tag heuer Monaco Watches Of All Four Elements

The Gravity line of watches by Armin Strom is something that we have discussed before: I wrote about the http://www.syrauto.com/tag-heuer-formula-1-replica-uk.html here and Ariel did a hands-on article about the time-only Gravity Fire here. But rest assured, this time we have gravitated toward this line again for two good reasons: first, we are talking about a different and, relatively speaking, more affordable watch than the tourbillon, and yet a bit more complex than the Gravity Fire. Secondly, I would like to share what I learned about the details of the more unusual design code of the brand.

I recently had a chance to sit down with tag heuer Aquaracer replica, Armin Strom’s Director of Horology and gain some insight into why they create things the way they do. As we have discussed in the past, large portions of the design language comes from the direction set by the brand’s namesake founder over 40 years ago. One of the present day features that is immediately drawn from that direction is the tab on the case down at 6 o’clock.

The original intent of this was to have the initials of the owner of the watch engraved there. While this is something that happens less frequently today, the tab serves more as an identifier for the brand. Another unique identifier is how the dial is offset within the front of the tag heuer Monaco replica watch. Not only is this unique in terms of a look, it is done for a very specific reason. Per Mr. Greisler, this is done as proof positive that they have built their own movement, and are not simply modifying something “off the shelf” – otherwise, you simply would not be able to have the hands off-center like that.

This movement creation also allows some neat tricks in design that are not as readily apparent, unless you can get up close and personal with the watches as I did. For instance, you will notice in the movement pictures in this article that there is a gear train forming a straight line from the stem to the other side of the dial. Armin Strom also has the flexibility, as we see with the Armin Strom Gravity Date, to move components around in other ways. While many watches will have a rotor (be it regular or micro) on the back of the movement. Here, it is actually on top, which of course presents its own engineering “opportunities.”

Frankly, if you were to look at the back of an Armin Strom Gravity Date Fire (or most any Armin Strom watch) you might think that the movement is a manually wound one. Its viewing it from the dial side that you can see the microrotor (down at 4 o’clock), paired off with the almost identical looking barrel up at 2 o’clock. In this way, the wearer is able to see a majority of the kinetic movements (and plenty of gearing) at work without the need to remove the watch from their wrist. Think of it as the reason people opt for open heart (or skeletonized) dials, albeit on a much higher level. Even without the rotors and gear train lines, you would be hard-pressed to find a dial with as many layers as this one that maintains its readability.
