With great sadness, the independent Swiss watch manufacture Armin Strom announces the death of its founder, Mr. Armin Strom. A resident of Burgdorf, Switzerland, Mr. Strom passed away at the age of 86. The watch manufacture expresses its deepest condolences to the family. Mr. Strom founded his eponymous watch company in 1967 in Burgdorf. He began with hand-skeletonizing, engraving, and decorating watches, which he initially sold in his store. In 1984, he debuted his first own collection at the Basel watch and jewelry show. Striving for technical and aesthetic perfection, he earned the reputation of a "master skeletonizer," with his timepieces in high demand worldwide. In 2006, he sold the company to the Michel family. The childhood friends Serge Michel and Claude Greisler took over the company and still run it today.
