The Armin Strom Watch Configurator Pros/Cons

There is one drawback the Watch Configurator in general. Beware, you will get hooked. Believe me, the first time I used the Watch Configurator, I couldn’t get over the immense number of choices to personalize your watch. As you make your selections, the image of the watch in the center changes – reflecting your choice of rotor type, component colors, case material, hands, strap and even stitching color. You can even choose which base model you want, ranging from the Edge Double Barrel to the Gravity, the Skeleton and the Tourbillon.

The first time I configured my watch, I was conservative. Then I went back and changed it up – having a lot of fun with color. Then I changed certain parts of that watch again. Then I thought, “hmm, maybe I’ll try it with a different watch.” I switched to the tourbillon. I changed it…. again… and again… and again. A few minutes later, when I went to check out another watch, I realized a full two hours had flown by. Yes, you will be hooked. It is like a great game of watch designing, with the hard work done for you and the fun part waiting to be orchestrated.

The choices for customization your Armin Strom Watch via the Watch Configurator run the gamut from component parts to strap and even stitching.
