Armin Strom Watches

Armin Strom is an independent Swiss watch brand founded in 1967. Serge Michel and Claude Greisler took over in 2006 and transformed Armin Strom into a vertically integrated manufacturer. They are known for their innovative approach to resonance timekeeping, which uses a patented clutch spring system, and their in-house movements, which are finely open-worked or skeletonized.

History of Armin Strom

Armin Strom starts with the man himself, Mr. Armin Strom. Having studied watchmaking, he set up his store in his hometown Burgdorf in 1967. Burgdorf is the largest city in the Emmental region in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

Armin Strom started out selling watches in his store and offering a restoration service. He soon realized that he had a talent for hand skeletonizing, which was not seen much at the time. By 1990 he gained entry to the Guinness World Record book for his creation of the world’s smallest hand-skeletonized ladies’ watch. Soon other watch brands were asking him to skeletonize small series of watches for them.
