Air and Water for Armin Strom

Air, Earth, Fire and Water are recurrent themes in the names of Armin Strom models, as well as in the sports partnerships passionately engaged in by brand owner Serge Michel and his team. In this instance, air and water relate to the communication medium : the Great Cup 32 is a high-tech carbon catamaran whose foils enable it to literally fly across the water at dizzying speeds (40 knots), making it essential for the onboard crew to wear helmets and other protective equipment. President of the GC32 Racing Tour that regroups these competitive sailboats, and owner of the GC32 Armin Strom Sailing team, Swiss sailor Flavio Marazzi is also a brand ambassador who wears a Gravity Sailing watch featuring colors inspired by the GC32, naturally issued in a 32-piece limited edition.
