  • Page 2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE But with its Mirrored Force Resonance Resonance is a well-documented pheno- concept, Armin Strom proposes one of the most spectacular and innovative appli- menon in physics. Two oscillators in close proximity tend to influence each other and cations of the resonance phenomenon in eventually synchronize.
  • Page 4 WINDING Your manual mechanical watch must be wound regularly for it to work properly. To wind each of the two movements, turn the dedicated crown clockwise in the normal crown position.
  • Page 5 When fully wound, the watch has a 110h power-reserve. Some thirty turns for each movement are needed to wind the watch fully. Each movement is fitted with a slip- spring, which is not locked when the move- ment is fully wound. You may also check the state of winding by looking the power re-serve indicators.
  • Page 6: Setting The Time

    SETTING THE TIME Your watch displays two time zones that are set independently, using the dedicated crowns. These adapt to all types of time zones, including rare ones, which vary by a half hour or a quarter of an hour.
  • Page 7 To set each time zone, pull the respective crown out one click. To ensure correct setting of the time, first rotate the minute hand 5 minutes ahead of the desired time, then go back (by rotating counterclock- wise) to the desired time. For each of the time display, there is a dedicated 24h day/ night indication in the centre at 6 o’clock –...

If you have not worn A SOLUTION TO THE 200-YEAR your watch for some time and restart it by manually winding it, the oscillators will synchronize in less than ten minutes.

  • Page 14: Water Resistance

    WATER RESISTANCE Your Armin Strom watch is water resistant to 50m. The water resistance of a watch can be compromised by external factors (such as shocks, perspiration, cosmetics or salt water) or by the natural aging process of the gaskets. That is why water resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed, and the gaskets must be periodically replaced.
