Armin Strom Watches 101: From The Man To The Brand
Top Right: Mr. Armin Strom Sponsored Post written for best watches by advertiserMr. Armin Strom studied watchmaking and set up his own store in his native town of Burgdorf in 1967. In parallel with the normal activity of a small watch shop, he also offered a restoration service and gradually developed a particular knack for the art of hand skeletonizing, long before it became fashionable among the mainstream brands. The first watches bearing the Armin Strom name were presented in 1984 at what was then still called the Basel Watch Fair. His desire to push the limits of his skills earned him a Guinness World Record in 1990 after he created the world's smallest hand-skeletonized watch for ladies. He also caught the attention of Switzerland's bigger watch brands, who discreetly started turning to him to skeletonize small series of their own watches.
Luxury Watches Inspired By Star Trek
With Star Trek Beyond now in theaters, we got to thinking about the enormous cultural legacy of the popular science fiction franchise and the influence it has had – not least in the watch industry. The best watch makers are engineers and machinists, which also means there is a good chance they like science fiction too. With the embracement of modern design in high-end watches over the last 15 or so years, we’ve seen numerous timepieces inspired by the things which shaped the lives of the industrial designers and watch makers that made them.Star Trek happens to be a popular theme, and in some instances watch designs make direct nods to visual themes in the Star Trek universe that would be obvious to most fans. Moreover, consider that the customers of these watch makers must also be Star Trek fans as well, and that at the highest levels they are all too excited to add a Star Trek-themed timepiece to their collection as it only makes their love of watches that much better. bes
