The Armin Strom Mirrored Force Resonance was originally released two years ago and then revisited earlier this year at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie 2018. Featuring a hand guilloché dial created by master watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, one of the authorities in dial and movement decoration, this watch is available in a wide variety of colors that include blue, black, white, anthracite, bi-color and even red. Additionally, the dials are also offered in different guilloché patterns that include sunray, concentric waves or even 'à grains d'orge' —barleycorn—. The one pictured here is the concentric waves one.

Experience: Havana Club Gran Reserva Añejo 15 Años. As Unique and Smooth as our Armin Strom Gravity Date WCL Unique Piece.
Sitting a notch above the Havana Club 'Selección de Maestros' is the Havana Club Gran Reserva Añejo 15 Años from Cuba. Produced by repeatedly blending and aging selected rums and 'aguardientes' in old oak casks that add that delicate touch of tannin, this unique ageing process liberates the aromas and flavor and gives that extra smoothness that is the top mark of top quality rum. Aged for no less than 15 years and with a limited production of only 58 barrels per year, the Havana Club Gran Reserva is one of the best rums we've ever had with a unique aroma, intense flavor and unparalleled smoothness.
