The
Armin Strom Gravity Date Water is an automatic watch, featuring a
Manufacture movement, openworked dial and imbued with a high quotient of
hand craftsmanship. Angus Davies enjoyed a week long romance with this fascinating watch whilst touring its country of origin, Switzerland.
Many moons ago, when I was an adolescent boy, the annual family vacation was always enriched with a 'holiday romance'.
The
warm kiss of the summer sun on my face, the relaxing touch of the sea's
calming embrace and the fragrant notes of an unfamiliar exotic meal all
made overseas travel a treat to savour. However, nothing compared to the innocent friendship conferred with a youthful romance. Over the years there were only a few platonic dalliances, often with German girls. Romantic moments ranged from a hand in hand walk to the ice-cream parlour to a snatched kiss between two pimply teenagers.
A few weeks ago, I travelled to Switzerland and for a few days I embarked on another summer romance. However, on this occasion, the focal point of my temporary lust was a loan watch, provided by Armin Strom. My plan was simple. I
would wear the watch for seven days, become familiar with each nuance
of the timepiece in question and then reveal all in a 'kiss and tell'
account.
The
lovely lady from Armin Strom's PR Department played matchmaker and put
me in touch with my date, the aptly named 'Gravity Date', in this
instance in 'Water' specification. I
left the company's Manufacture in Biel / Bienne with my new found love
affixed to my left arm and headed off to Bern, Switzerland's capital.
