Manic Fixie Watches: A Love Letter to Fixed Lug Timepieces
Dual Time GMT Resonance Manufacture Edition Blue
Blue has long been part of watchmaking’s vocabulary. On the Dual Time GMT Resonance Manufacture Edition Blue, it feels familiar – but never expected. Drawn from classical watchmaking codes, the deep blue carries a subtle retro-chic character, moving from the mainplate to the hands and indexes before continuing onto the dark blue alligator strap. A classic colour, placed where Armin Strom has never taken it before. The blue finds its counterpoint in two finely grained white dials with white azurage chapter rings. Their subtle texture catches the light while allowing the blue mainplate underneath to come through with greater contrast. The white dials are punctuated by blue PVD coated applied indexes and facetted hands, picking up the colour of the mainplate beneath. The closer the eye gets, the more the contrast reveals.
