Swiss luxury watch brand Corum has launched a special edition Golden Bridge wristwatch in partnership with Dubail. The second collaborative project by the two iconic houses, this timepiece is a limited edition of just 10 copies.

In 2010, the family-owned the Parisian retailer and Corum collaborated and created a 25 piece limited edition Admiral’s Cup watch in black dressed with accents of red. This rare timepiece laid the foundations of the exclusive Dubail series: very few pieces, engraved and numbered, with black and red accents. Dubail has since established itself as a leading partner for Corum.

The Golden Bridge was therefore naturally imposed when Corum and Dubail wanted to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their first joint limited series. The model chosen is the Golden Bridge Round 43 mm. An atypical piece, a perfect circle within which stretches the famous baguette movement of the house, created in 1980.

Its bridges and mainplate are in gold, engraved with the name of the house, ending at 6 o’clock with the crown allowing the time to be set and the winding of a 40-hour power reserve. On either side of this movement are deployed four symmetrical series of cables. For Dubail, they have been specially treated in black PVD, as has the black PVD titanium case.

These cables continue the architectural inspiration of the aptly named collection “Bridge”. The play associates the “bridge” which keeps its cogwheels in place with the one which crosses towns and rivers to connect people.

Symbol of openness, the bridge is also one of the most complex structures ever made by man, a feat capable of defying centuries and the elements. The construction, suspended in the air, summons the aesthetics of the largest bridges erected by man. It also underlines the aerial character of the baguette movement: Caliber CO113 and its 16 seat stays manage to combine the light and suspended expression of movement with the strength and resistance of the wired structure.

For Dubail, Corum has dressed its Golden Bridge with an alligator strap, instead of rubber. The piece, engraved and numbered, will be available only at Dubail Paris.

It was during the celebrated Basel watch exhibition in the year 2000 that Corum first unveiled its now-legendary Bubble watch. With an oversized case and huge domed crystal, the Bubble was the brainchild of Severin Wunderman, then owner of the brand.

This timepiece soon developed a cult-like following. Now, to mark the 21st anniversary of the Bubble watch, Corum is launching the new limited edition Bubble X Ray, inspired by early designs.

Among the first Corum Bubble watches to make their debut in 2000, was a watch with a stylized skull on the dial. Wunderman, who had just bought the brand, was also obsessed with life, death and the concept of Dia de Muertos, a celebration where friends and family gather to honor the dead in a festive manner.

When the 44mm Bubble was released, Wunderman said he was inspired by an experimental diving watch from the 1960’s that had an enormous, curved glass. He paired that domed look, which also had some distorting effects, with creative themed dials. The Bubble fast became an icon, with a variety of intriguing renditions released over the years.

They included playful, sometimes mischievous themes that ranged from the Bubble Jolly Roger, to Bubble Lucifer, Bats, Nightflyer and more. Intermittently, throughout the past six years, Corum also entered into collaborations with various renowned artists for Bubble watches.

Now,  Corum releases a limited-edition watch with the same signature elements that made the Bubble famous, but with a contemporary and creative touch.

The Bubble X Ray pays tribute to the line’s roots with a highly stylized yet realistic looking skull taking center stage on the dial. While the huge domed sapphire crystal slightly distorts the image, it is fully visible in the dark because it is totally luminescent: disruptive in day and at night.

In the dark, the skull glows green. Bringing the luminescence full circle, Corum adds fluorescent green stitching to the synthetic alligator-like strap that is lined with rubber.

The watch is powered by an automatic movement (CO 082) that beats at 4Hz and offers 42 hours of power reserve. It is crafted in stainless steel with a black PVD treatment over it and boasts a sapphire case back for viewing of the movement.

Both the domed front crystal and the back crystal are coated with an anti-reflective treatment. Water resistant to 100 meters, the 47mmm case offers hours, minutes and seconds and is being created in a limited edition of just 88 pieces.

Corum presents new Admiral 42 Automatic watches with updated design details and upgraded finishing on cases.

The Full Grey Monochrome version, crafted in sandblasted stainless steel with a gradient grey dial and nautical pennants in grey, offers an almost ethereal appeal. The unique monochromatic hues seem to recall fog rolling in from the oceans.

The sand-blasted steel features an anti-fingerprint coating for the bezel, case and bracelet. Just 100 pieces of this striking watch will be produced.

Corum also launched a steel and 18-karat gold version of the Admiral 42 Automatic. With its cloud white dial and colorful nautical pennants, it offers a more classic yet contemporary feel.

All new Admiral 42 watches are equipped with the CO 395 automatic movement. They display hour, minute, date at 3:00 and small subsidiary seconds at 6:00. They all are equipped with 42 hours of power reserve.

Swiss luxury watch brand Corum is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its Automatic Golden Bridge watch with the launch of new Automatic Golden Bridge series.

The most emblematic high-horlogerie creation from Corum, the Golden Bridge was released in 1980. It premiered the world’s first-ever in-line baguette movement. Just over 30 years later, in 2011, Corum released an automatic version of the in-line movement.

Now, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Automatic Golden Bridge, Corum takes another leap, unveiling a new Automatic Golden Bridge series with avant-garde case that delivers sweeping views of the meticulously finished movement.

The original in-line movement was first created in the 1970’s by Italian watchmaker Vincent Calabrese. He presented his patented concept, a 45-piece highly skeletonised in-line movement, at the 1977 Geneva International Inventors’ Show and Corum immediately acquired the patent and worked with Calabrese to develop the revolutionary movement.

The first Corum Golden Bridge, with movement parts made of gold, made its debut at the 1980 Basel Fair. The Corum Golden Bridge Automatic, unveiled in 2011, ushered in a new era for this contemporary icon.

In honor of the 10th anniversary of the automatic in-line movement, Corum releases the new Golden Bridge Automatic series. Consisting of four models, the tonneau-shaped case offers a dramatic view of the movement thanks to the panoramic sapphire crystal and case back in a larger size.

Also, for the first time, Corum creates the sapphire crystal as a single sapphire piece that extends from the top crystal to the sides of the watch – allowing for a 360-degree view inside.

The new versions feature cases in polished Grade 5 titanium with the crown at 6:00 for ergonomic comfort and for aesthetic appeal.

They include a titanium and 18-karat gold model in a limited edition of 150 pieces, and a full titanium version in an edition of just 50 pieces. These timepieces are also available with diamond-set cases. Just 100 pieces of the diamond-set titanium-and-gold version will be produced, and only 25 of the diamond-set titanium watch will be made.

Additionally, Corum has invented a discretely placed floating harness system for its hand-applied indexes, yielding a highly modern and sophisticated flair. The design is actually born out of the need for function.

Because there is no dial to affix the indexes to, the harness system links to the movement base so that the markers seem to be floating in space. As indicated in the series name – Golden Bridge – the main plates and bridges of the movement are in 18-karat gold for all versions.

All these watches boast a sapphire case back made of smoked crystal for an almost mystical look. Additionally, they are all powered by the original automatic movement that remains incredibly advanced even by today’s standards.

With all of its 194 parts in one line, the exclusive Corum Caliber C0313 boasts 40 hours of power reserve, a variable inertia balance wheel for long-term precision, a miniaturized barrel and main plate, bridges made of 18- karat gold, and a platinum linear oscillating weight.

Water resistant to 30 meters, the Corum Golden Bridge Automatic 10th anniversary watches are finished with a soft-touch alligator strap and triple folding clasp.

Swiss luxury watch brand Corum celebrates the 40th anniversary of its iconic Golden Bridge collection by unveiling two spectacular limited edition models with a rectangular case inspired by the original model.

The refined rectangular look of the Golden Bridge is the original case shape of this iconic in-line baguette movement that was introduced 40 years ago. Today, Corum is paying tribute to the very first model from the collection by introducing two new limited edition models to celebrate the 40th anniversary.

Corum Golden Bridge Rectangle 40th Anniversary in 18k White Gold

For the first iteration of the Golden Bridge Rectangle, Corum added an astonishing play of finely hand-crafted floral engraving on the 18-carat white gold case to create yet another classic edition of the signature Haute Horlogerie timepiece.

The acanthus and fern plants are a nod to the “Style Sapin” created in La Chaux-de-Fonds. These floral details have been engraved on all Golden Bridge baguette movements since the timepiece was launched in 1980.This masterpiece is limited to three pieces honoring the three co-founders of the Brand which was born in 1955.

Corum Golden Bridge Rectangle 40th Anniversary in 18k Rose Gold

While the Golden Bridge is proudly honoring its 40th anniversary, Corum is also celebrating its 65th birthday.

The 18-carat rose gold version salutes the 40th anniversary of the Golden Bridge collection with an original “Limited Edition 1 0f 40” engraving inside the watch case at 3 o’clock and honoring 65 years since the Brand’s creation with Corum’s iconic symbol -the key – on the sapphire case back.

Faithful to the roots of the collection, this Haute Horlogerie timepiece features an18-carat gold Golden Bridge baguette movement.

Perfectly proportioned, the Golden Bridge fits beautifully on the wrist, and unlike its role model from 1980, thanks to modern technology this refined version is fully water-resistant to 30 meters.

The Golden Bridge Rectangle shows a timeless and discreet elegance, yet focuses on the functionality of its brilliant movement, leading the eye along the path of Caliber CO113’s energy transfer from spring barrel at 6 o’clock to the escapement at 12 o’clock.

Corum enhances its Admiral 42 Automatic Full Black line by unveiling new models touched with vibrant colors like blue, red, yellow, green or orange.

Introduced in the 1960s, the very first Admiral’s Cup model was an unusual yachting watch with a water-resistant square case. However, the Admiral collection that we are now familiar with, is actually an evolution of the Admiral’s Cup model redesigned in 1983, with its instantly recognizable 12-sided case and nautical pennants on the dial. Over the years, this collection dedicated to the world famous regatta has not only become an integral pillar of Corum, but also one of the most iconic nautical-inspired timepieces on the market.

One of the most identifiable characteristics of an Admiral timepiece is the use of 12 nautical pennants as hour-markers. These flags in fact conform to the International Code of Signals for indicating numbers using colored flags, so each hour is represented by its corresponding pennant.

The latest Admiral 42 Automatic Full Black is the complete opposite of its colourful predecessors, and a first-ever within the Admiral family of watches. It features the iconic dodecagonal case in black PVD-treated stainless steel, paired with a blackened brass dial.

The nautical pennants, minute markers presented in greyscale tones to balance the austerity of the all-black design, while markers for the minute and small seconds are made visible using a tone-on-tone effect. For this new edition, Corum introduces colorful and flashy hour’s markers flags, in blue, red, yellow, green and orange.

The Dauphine-style hour and minute hands are also skeletonized, given black PVD treatment, and then filled with colored superluminova to ensure excellent legibility. Vulcanized black rubber straps with a black PVD-treated buckle complete the edgy look.

The Admiral 42 Automatic Full Black is powered by the automatic CO 395 movement, which provides 42 hours power reserve. It offers a water resistance of 50 meters. All variations produced in a limited edition of 100 pieces.

The Corum Admiral 42 Bronze showcases both a nautical design and watchmaking mechanics. Trendy chic and sporty, the collection features two new models housed in Bronze cases in order to pay tribute to the beauty and strength of the brass material used in old ships.

The special alloy of bronze used for the case and bezel will evolve over time to obtain a vintage patina. In order to be as homogeneous as possible over time, a unique satin-brushed finishing has been done on the entire case including the iconic dodecagonal bezel.

Faithful to the nautical roots of the Admiral collection, the model features the 12 pennant-shaped hour markers on the dial. The nautical colour palette of navy blue or maritime green dial fit perfectly with the associated colours alligator straps.

Equipped with a Corum automatic movement visible through the sapphire case back, the watch features a small second at 6 o’clock and a date at 3 o’clock. The Admiral 42 Bronze is water resistant to 50 meters.

First created in late 2018, the Corum Lab collection focuses on establishing a dialogue between the past and the future, and two limited edition creations were debuted then.

The latest Lab 01 models retain their distinctive barrel-shaped cases like their predecessors, but Corum has chosen to produce the cases for these new timepieces in Damascus steel- a first for the brand.

Instantly recognizable by its wavy pattern, Damascus steel is a type of alloy well-known to knife and sword makers. The history of ancient Damascus steel dates back to as early as the 4th century A.D., where the ancient city of Damascus was then well known for its weapon-makers and metallurgical prowess.

 

Damascus steel is known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to shatter. Blades made from this material are sharper, stronger and more flexible than others. The usage of Damascus steel serves as a nod to history, while the futuristic design of the Lab 01 embraces the experimental and modernistic approach to watchmaking that Corum stands for.

The Heritage Corum Lab 01 Damascus timepieces are driven by the caliber CO 410, a curved, barrel-shaped skeleton movement that has been designed specifically to fit the case. The dial is accented with blue or green details; and on both sides of the case, are rubber inserts in the same color. The signature Corum micro-rotor visible beneath the sapphire crystal has been finished with a contemporary spiral effect, which in itself is visually stunning when it begins to rotate.

The Damascus steel case is given black DLC-treatment, while the movement is also given Cotes de Genève finishing and offers a 50-hour power reserve. The hour and minute hands are filled with Superluminova in the same color as the rubber inserts to enhance their legibility against the dark-colored background. The fact one is unable to predict how the wavy patterns on Damascus steel will turn out during the forging process also means that every watch case will have a unique pattern like no other.

Swiss luxury watch brand Corum unveils two limited editions of their Golden Bridge, combining the aesthetic of the baguette movement with that of suspension bridges.

Architecture is a transversal theme already largely explored by Corum. Recently, the Golden Bridge Stream, Round and Rectangle collections lent their unique aesthetics to compositions combining art and architecture, technique and aesthetic, creativity and respect for Fine Watchmaking traditions.

The new Golden Bridge Round 43 Art Deco continues this renewed vision of the watchmaking art. The legendary baguette movement dominates in all its length, at the centre of the piece, vertically. This unique watchmaking composition has become one of the identifying hallmarks of Corum. Its gold bridges and mainplate are engraved with the brand name and finish at 6 o’clock by the crown, used for time setting and the winding of the 40-hour power reserve.

Four symmetrical series of cables extend across both sides of the movement. They continue the architectural inspiration of the aptly named “Bridge” collection. The piece links to the “bridge” that keeps its gear train in motion for those who travel across cities and rivers to connect with others. An age-old symbol of openness, of encounter, the bridge has always been one of the most complex works of art ever created, a technical prowess capable of defying centuries and the elements.

The Golden Bridge Round 43 Art Deco endorses this heritage and its symbolism. No fewer than 16 cables in brass, a watchmaking material par excellence, are drawn from the titanium 43-mm case and settle higher up, underneath the flange. The construction, suspended in the void, conjures up the aesthetic of the largest bridges ever built: the Millau Viaduct (France), the famous Øresund Bridge that connects Denmark to Sweden, Malaysia’s 13.5km-long Penang Bridge, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan, etc.

This unprecedented construction in watchmaking underlines the aerial character of the baguette movement. The CO113 calibre and these 16 cables succeed in combining the light and suspended expression of movement with the power and resistance of the cabled structure.

Available in two series strictly limited to 188 pieces, the Golden Bridge Round 43 Art Deco is available in a rhodium or gold finish (movement, cables, crown) on a black vulcanised rubber bracelet.

Corum unveils a full black addition to their highly sought-after Admiral 42 collection, limited to 100 pieces.

Born in the 1960s, the very first Admiral’s Cup model was an unusual yachting watch with a water-resistant square case. However, the Admiral collection that we are now familiar with, is actually an evolution of the Admiral’s Cup model redesigned in 1983, with its instantly recognizable 12-sided case and nautical pennants on the dial. Over the years, this collection dedicated to the world famous regatta has not only become an integral pillar of Corum, but also one of the most iconic nautical-inspired timepieces on the market.

In the year 2010, the Admiral collection celebrated its 50th anniversary, and at the same time, welcomed the launch of the Admiral Legend collection. Keeping in mind the iconic design codes of the original Admiral’s Cup model released in 1980s, the Admiral Legend collection proposed a family of elegant timepieces with a more modern and refined silhouette. The resulting Admiral Legend 42, with a slimmer case diameter, has went on to become one of Corum’s bestselling models over the recent years.

One of the most identifiable characteristics of an Admiral timepiece is the use of 12 nautical pennants as hour markers. These flags in fact conform to the International Code of Signals for indicating numbers using colored flags, so each hour is represented by its corresponding pennant.

The latest Admiral 42 Full Black the complete opposite of its colorful predecessors, and a first ever within the Admiral family of watches. It features the iconic dodecagonal case in black PVD-treated stainless steel, paired with a blackened brass dial. The nautical pennants, minute markers now presented in grey scale tones to balance the austerity of the all-black design, while markers for the minute and small seconds are made visible using a tone-on tone effect.

The Dauphine-style hour and minute hands are also skeletonized, given black PVD treatment, then filled with white superluminova to ensure excellent legibility. Vulcanized black rubber straps with a black PVD-treated buckle complete the edgy look. Devoid of colors, this dark knight of a watch is mysterious, sporty yet intriguingly handsome at the same time.

The Admiral 42 Full Black is powered by the automatic CO 395 movement, which provides 42 hours power reserve. It offers a water resistance of 50 meters. Produced in a limited edition of 100 pieces.

Luxury Swiss watch brand Corum has created three unique versions of its Admiral 45, available only at the Bristol – legendary Parisian luxury hotel and new home of Corum retailers Kronometry 1999.

The Admiral 45 Bronze features a patinated bronze case, teak pontoon dial, and iconic pennants, arranged around the twelve-sided bezel to display the hours befittingly for lovers of water sports and ocean-going races. Based on this creation, Corum and watch retailers Kronometry 1999 (Monaco, Paris, Courchevel) have devised a highly exclusive limited edition, destined for the most discerning connoisseurs: the Admiral AC-ONE 45 Squelette “Kronometry”.

To bring this piece to life, the teams from Corum and Kronometry 1999 sought to extend the original concept of the Admiral 45 Bronze, developing the nautical feel still further, taking bronze to its absolute limits, and in doing so, showing off the mechanism to even greater advantage. Work focused first and foremost on the bronze. Its original glossy finish has been aged more, making it look as if it has spent an eternity beneath the waves. The brown tones have been faded to darker greys and blacks, as if raised from more hostile depths.

The new hues of the Admiral AC-ONE 45 “Kronometry” are highlighted by three new flange options. The first model features a red/burgundy flange to go with the dominant colours of the bronze case; the second model sports a grey flange, matching case and bezel highlights. The third model offers more of a contrasting, deep-sea feel, with a black flange that sets off the darker shades of the tarnished bronze and the crown protector. Admiral 45 Bronze’s Skeleton dial reveals the automatic movement and date.

Each timepiece is powered by Corum’s CO 082 caliber, with a 42-hour power reserve. A dedicated patinated brown leather strap has been created for this edition –Montres CORUM Sarl which also bears the “Kronometry” logo, engraved on the rear sapphire crystal. Just one of each model will be made.

Just in time for this festive season, Corum is releasing two new versions of its Golden Bridge with a new “snow” setting. Made exclusively of diamonds, the snow setting involves arranging a random number of diamonds of all sizes in such a way that together; they cover up the entirety of the metal. It is a high-level jewellery practice for two reasons.

Firstly, the meticulous choice of the placement of each diamond. Though each one is different, they must still be as close to one another as possible, interlocking to the micron so the edges are almost touching. There is thus no consistency in this task, one which breaks away from the mechanics of brilliant and baguette cuts where all the diamonds are interchangeable.

In a snow setting, it is the setter’s own experience and daring which are at play. Each diamond is individually chosen and placed. The final composition is similar to a fresco or an expressionist painting, featuring many diamonds set individually and creating, together, the coherent image of a whole.

Next, there is the setting itself. As each diamond has a unique size, so too must each claw used for setting. It is a task requiring extreme precision which prevents the setting from being standardised, as each claw is individually worked to set its diamond and it alone.

Two models will be available in the snow setting: the Golden Bridge (with a 34 x 51 mm barrel shaped case) and the Miss Golden Bridge (21 x 43 mm).

Each case is fully set, including the crown, giving a unique glimmer to the baguette movement which stretches up and down the case and is entirely visible through the anti-reflective double sapphire crystal.

Each piece will be released in white gold and pink gold, meaning there are four models in total, for a total of 314 diamonds for the Golden Bridge and 245 diamonds for the Miss Golden Bridge, representing 2.68 ct and 1.28 ct respectively.

Launched on 15th November at the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, this special edition Admiral Legend 42 Automatic watch was created in partnership between Corum Academy and Thomas Erber’s Cabinet de Curiosités.

The Corum Academy programme first came into being through a collaboration with the Bamford Watch Department in June 2018 (a limited series of two pieces). On 15 November, Corum unveiled its latest creation in a very exclusive limited series of eight pieces at the famous Hôtel de Crillon, which next year will celebrate 110 years since its opening to the public in the Place de la Concorde.

An Admiral Legend 42 Automatic featuring an entirely blue dial, case, and bracelet was chosen as a starting point. This capsule collection named “Le Cabinet de Curiosités de l’Hôtel de Crillon par Thomas Erber” will only be available at the event. It was created in collaboration with Thomas Erber. Since 2010, with his Cabinet de Curiosités, he has been creating an international network of designers, artists and brands aimed at an audience curious about rare, luxury objects, specifically watches.

The piece is directly inspired by a creation from the 1980s and was relaunched last September for the Japanese market. Today, the piece is decorated with the 12 iconic nautical flags of the Admiral, alongside a monogram made of the “C” from Hôtel de “Crillon” at 6 o’clock that appears twice, in a direct reference to Thomas Erber’s “Cabinet de Curiosités”. The piece brings together blue and gold tones present on the crown and the hands as a reminder of the piece’s dual purpose, created both for navigation and the elegance of the marinas and palaces like the Hôtel de Crillon.

Corum has created a “Lab” collection where mechanics take precedence, in a disruptive, contemporary approach. The first two barrel-shaped series, each limited to 99 pieces, were launched on 13 November in Beijing.

Corum unveiled the first two creations on the 13 November at the Macao Centre. This date also marks the opening of a dedicated Corum store, currently the only one in China. This store in the heart of Beijing highlights the importance of the Chinese market for Corum, a territory where the most demanding collectors will discover, with Corum, creatively unparalleled Fine Watchmaking.

The first two “Heritage Corum Lab 01” models feature a barrel-shaped case made entirely of black DLC. The calibre that drives these two Heritage Corum Lab 01 watches is a “shape movement”, that is to say a movement that has been made to measure for the case, in contrast to a round movement that is placed in a differently-shaped case, which, for technical ease, is how the immense majority of watches are made. Here, the calibre and the case are closely intertwined, one moulding to the contours of the other.

Corum has opted for an openworked dial which allows for the CO 410 skeleton calibre that fits snugly in the case to be admired. The dial, reduced to its simplest expression, comes in grey anthracite enhanced with either red or white, depending on the version.

Enthusiasts will also note the micro-rotor, visible from the dial side, featuring a contemporary spiral finish to accentuate the “speed” effect when it begins to rotate.

Swiss luxury watch maker Corum announces new additions to their Golden Bridge line. Total 6 new iterations are planned with two versions are being released now. Other four models will be gradually revealed over the next few months.

The pervasive presence of a black DLC treatment on its case, bezel, and buckle forms the basis of the design. All of these components stand out with their depth, allowing for a stunning contrast with the baguette movement which, with its white or pink gold reflections, attracts all the light.

As sculptural as ever, the baguette movement once again proves both its versatility and its modernity. Here, it works alongside a structure developed specifically by Corum which embodies a geometry of overlapping bridges that evoke the most stunning masterpieces of human genius, notably the suspension bridges like the Golden Gate or the Brooklyn Bridge.

The piece is available in two versions: white gold and pink gold. This variation is found on the movement, the hands, the flange, the crown and the screws which maintain the structure of both sides of the baguette movement. The rest of the covering is black. It’s the first time that Corum has conferred a black rubber bracelet, veined and engraved with the brand’s name, upon its Golden Bridge.

Spirited and powerful, this new Golden Bridge Titane DLC model, available in pink gold and white gold, will be complemented in the upcoming months by two other models, each available in the same shades of gold.

With the new La Grande Vie collection, Corum presents an accessible luxury watch collection with an elegant, classic design. La Grande Vie adopts all the Corum codes by considering them in the light of permanent collections and timeless pieces, making them aesthetically accessible to experienced collectors and first-time buyers.

As of now, three versions from this new collection are available. Its 42 mm titanium case houses the Swiss Made automatic calibre (SW300), visible through a sapphire crystal case back. Their dials will probably attract the most attention, with a shimmering sunray finish in blue, red and green tones that magnifies each ray of light. From the centre to the flange, this sunray finish gives the piece a radiant look.

Baton hour markers are stretched out on the dials, which Corum wanted to be more elongated and thin than average, accentuating the “sunray” effect reflected by La Grande Vie. They come with “Dauphine” hands – a highly “classical” feature of the traditional fine watchmaking.

The 12’ hour marker is replaced by a large key – an oversized Corum logo – in places of the name “Corum” on the dial. The La Grande Vie follows the footsteps of Corum’s timeless collections, such as the Chargé d’Affaires. This collection from the 1950s has long attracted watch enthusiasts for its mastery of classic watchmaking codes.

Swiss luxury watch brand has created a special edition watch collection in partnership with Djibril Cissé, the former footballer known as “The Lion”.

Djibril Cissé already had a Bubble 52 watch, a personal piece that he regularly wears. Therefore, the Bubble 52 immediately became the starting point for creating his own model.

A skull, exclusively designed for him by Corum, can be found at the centre of his Bubble 52. Made out of gold and modelled on the artist’s personal watch, the number “9” is visible on its jaw. It is the only reference to his past as a top athlete, the number on his striker jersey which he wore in all his matches.
