Armin Strom / Gravity Equal Force
Armin Strom Gravity Equal Force
Collection profile · 2019
Armin Strom’s Gravity Equal Force is the brand’s System 78 constant-force automatic platform, built around the patented equal-force barrel and Geneva stop-work concept to deliver more consistent torque while preserving the manufacture’s open, mechanics-first architecture.
Why it matters
The Gravity Equal Force translates a typically high-horology constant-force problem into a relatively compact, automatic, serially produced Armin Strom collection. It matters because the watch pairs a patented torque-management solution with modern openworked design and hand-finishing, making it one of the brand’s signature technical propositions beyond one-off complications.

More from Armin Strom
- Mirrored Force Resonance
— The Mirrored Force Resonance is Armin Strom’s signature resonance wristwatch family, using two independent balances connected by the brand’s patented resonance clutch spring. It is one of the clearest modern expressions of observable resonance on the wrist and a cornerstone of the brand’s contemporary identity. - System78 — System78 is Armin Strom's accessible-haute-horlogerie umbrella collection, grouping the brand's wearable in-house pieces under a shared architecture-first philosophy across Gravity Equal Force, Orbit, and One Week families.
- One Week
— Armin Strom’s One Week is the System 78 family’s seven-day, manually wound platform: a contemporary, openworked three-hander built around twin barrels, a prominent power-reserve display, and the brand’s accessible-haute-horlogerie positioning within its in-house collection architecture. - Tribute — Armin Strom’s Tribute line is the classical flank of the System 78 family, pairing an off-centre time display, visible barrel architecture and hand-finishing with a slimmer, dressier 38 mm format than the brand’s more overtly technical pieces.
