One Week Manufacture
Armin Strom celebrates 15 years of its integrated manufacture with the unveiling of the One Week Manufacture Edition. Limited to just 100 pieces, this stunning watch revisits the brand’s first-ever calibre from 2010, the One Week, with a very modern streamlined design.
Tribute to Armin Strom’s Legacy
The One Week Manufacture Edition pays tribute to Armin Strom’s first in-house movement, featuring the same unique architecture but with a modern flavor. Housed in a 41mm stainless steel case with an integrated bracelet, the watch has a sporty yet classy look. The PVD anthracite mainplate, and bridges, provide a striking monochromatic appearance that highlights the intricate openworked movement.
Re-Adjusted Mechanics

At the heart of this watch is the new manual-wind ARM21 calibre, offering a generous seven-day power reserve thanks to its two mainspring barrels. These barrels, symmetrically arranged and visible through the open dial, work together to deliver consistent energy. The power reserve indicator uses a unique conical system inspired by traditional pocket watches. The watch also features meticulous hand-finishing, with straight- and circular-grained surfaces, chamfered and polished bevels, Geneva stripes, and polished screws. The anthracite PVD-coated components add a contemporary touch, while the faceted hour and minute hands filled with Super-LumiNova ensure optimal legibility. The small seconds are displayed on a black sub-dial at 9 o’clock, also displaying the brand’s “AS” logo.
Performance and Ergonomics

The One Week Manufacture Edition features a higher oscillation frequency of 3.5 Hz compared to its predecessor, providing more stable chronometric performance. This technical adjustment required complete re-engineering of the gear train. Designed for comfort and daily wear, the One Week Manufacture Edition’s stainless steel case measures 41mm in diameter and 10.6mm in height. The integrated steel bracelet, featuring H-shaped satin-brushed and polished links, complements the watch’s modern aesthetic and ergonomic design.
