Armin Strom has just dropped a horological bombshell – the Mirrored Force Resonance Zeitgeist 1665. This watch imagines a world where the Resonance wristwatch had been dreamt up centuries ago, back when people thought leeches were cutting-edge medicine. It’s like a relic from an alternate universe where steampunk reigns supreme.
This Zeitgeist model is all about exploring what watchmaking masterminds of yore might’ve come up with if they’d cracked the so-called Resonance Fragility Problem and thought of slapping a timekeeper on their wrists. Spoiler: they would’ve created something spectacular. Wrapped in a sleek 43mm case, it combines tech and style like a Swiss army knife in a James Bond movie.
Let’s backtrack to the 17th century when Mr. Christiaan Huygens was busy juggling pendulums and plotting ways to standardize timekeeping. His bedtime story was achieving consistent timing for marine navigation. Fast forward to post-2016: talented Armin Strom’s fellow, Claude Greisler, came along to save the day, drawing inspiration from Antide Janvier’s 18th-century Resonance clocks. Boom – Resonance for the wristwatch, done and dusted!
All of this techno-wizardry in the Zeitgeist is thanks to some clever work with tiny springs and gears. For physics fans, it’s about getting two balance wheels to sync up because, apparently, even time needs a dance partner. This miracle of teamwork results in a watch that keeps time super consistently, no matter how shaky the ride or how harsh the climate.
Craftsmanship nuts, listen up: this beauty is limited to just 25 pieces, each meticulously finished down to the last screw. We’re talking hand-polished parts and every fancy finish under the horological sun. It’s a piece of art disguised as a watch.
In a nutshell, Armin Strom’s Zeitgeist isn’t just about telling time – it’s about recreating an age-old dream with some serious pizzazz. Get your hands on this, and you’re not just strapping a watch to your wrist; you’re strapping on a piece of history.
