Swiss
watchmaker Corum has reimagined its classic 1980 Golden Bridge design, adding a
fine all-black ceramic case to the timepiece.
The complex
baguette movement at the center of the Golden Bridge is now framed (in a
painstaking process) by one of the hardest materials to work with on such a
delicate watch. The result, however, is spectacular, with a smooth external
architecture to match the swiss engineering, sapphire crystals, and 18-karat rose
gold interior bridge design.
The
mechanism consists of a hand-wound CO 113 movement and a variable
inertia-balance caliber, ensuring long-term precision. There is a 40-hour power
reserve.
Corum
spares no detail, with all kinds of hand-engraving to be discovered on the red
gold bridge, from the company’s signature to symbolic La Chaux-de-Fonds ferns.
However,
the extras (like a watch dial) have simply been ignored, leaving the elegant
wearer of this timepiece with just 360-degree, ceramic-framed views, fastened
by a black alligator strap.
