The Tribute 1 is Armin Strom’s most stripped-down statement of mechanical philosophy—a timepiece that proves complexity can be calm and innovation can be playful. And a tribute to those dress pieces from the funky era of the 1970s where new forms met new technologies and luxuriousness got a new appearance.

Powering this creation is a manually wound movement with a barrel design that is capable of delivering a 100-hour power reserve. It’s a reimagining of how mechanical energy can be stored and delivered with unprecedented efficiency. By positioning the barrel at exactly the right place in the overall movement architecture, Amin Strom has created a movement that’s both compact and incredibly powerful. Positioned at 2 o’clock, the crown becomes more than a functional element—it is a deliberate design statement that challenges traditional watchmaking conventions.
