The new Elements collection, Armin by Armin Strom, presents for the fisrt time an entire movement structure for a regulator with retrograde date display entirely designed and assembled in-house. Four models, Water, Air, Earth, Fire represent the four fundamental elements that create matter. Each element is assigned a colour and symbol that can be found in the respective model. The hour, minute and second hands are positioned off centre. The retrograde date display forms a principal element of the watch. However, with the opening beside the small second hand the concept of skel-etonising is retained and through the sapphire crystal back, the hand-wound movement remains visible. All four models are housed in a titanium case.
