Armin Strom Gravity Equal Force Kari Voutilainen Easter Editions

Armin Strom is an independent clock manufacturing based in Biel-Bienne, Switzerland, and Kari Voutilainen is an independent company located about an hour’s drive away in Môtiers.

The two Swiss watch brands have collaborated on several occasions in the past, and for their latest limited edition, two special Gravity Equal Force watches were made exclusively for Oster Jewelers of Cherry Creek, Colorado. I previously reviewed a Gravity Equal Force watch hereand master watchmaker Jordan Ficklin conducted a technical review of a Gravity Equal Force x Kari Voutilainen Professional clocks here.

For this collaboration, Jeremy Oster from Oster Jewelers collaborated with Claude Greisler from Armin Strom and Kari Voutilainen to design the special color scheme and unique guilloche work pattern seen here. “We developed the pattern together with Kari. The guilloche is made by hand in his workshop,” says Greisler.

With these limited editions, you not only get Voutilainen’s famous guilloche work, but also an in-house Armin Strom movement and case, as well as high quality hand finishing.

Speaking to Greisler about the production process and specifically how the edges of components like bridges are finished, he said: “After pre-beveling, we use files to adjust the bevel (corners and edges that cannot be made on a machine) and on At the end we polish by hand.”
