Armin Strom AG was founded in 2006 by master watchmaker Armin Strom and his son and former Omega director Daniel Strom. While factual on paper, the elder Strom’s story actually began much earlier in 1967 when he first opened a workshop in Burgdorf, Switzerland. Strom specialized in skeleton watches, which he first began exhibiting in the 1980s. By 2001, the father and son team of Armin and Daniel created Strom & Strom GmbH which eventually became known as Armin Strom.

Virgin Racing and Marussia F1

Armin Strom was among the first sponsors of the Marussia Virgin Racing Team, having announced their partnership in 2011 with the ARMIN Racing Chronograph, ARMIN Racing Regulator, and ARMIN Racing One Week. The brand remained with the team after they were renamed the Marussia F1 team in 2012. To further underscore their connection with Formula 1, the Armin Strom Racing Gravity line features bridges and plates made from the engine block of an F1 car.

Max Chilton

Max Chilton became an ambassador for the Swiss watch brand while driving for Marussia, and remained an ambassador after his move to IndyCar to see the release of the extremely limited Max Chilton Edition Edge Double Barrel.
