Corum Insight

 

Corum is a relative new comer to the Swiss Watch industry - it was founded in 1956 by Gaston Ries and Rene Bannwart(a designer from Omega). From the beginning, Corum set out to only produce watches that were both unusual and extravagant. The company was sold to Severin Wunderman(the man who built the Gucci watch business to enormous size and then sold it back to Gucci)in the year 2000. Corum continues to set itself apart from other companies with it's ability to make odd and unusual creations.

The Corum Admiral's Cup collection includes the 'Admiral's Cup Competition', 'Admiral's Cup Chronograph', 'Admiral's Cup GMT', 'Admiral's Cup Challenge', 'Admiral's Cup Centro', 'Admiral's Cup Split Seconds', 'Admiral's Cup Repetition Minutes', 'Admiral's Cup Deep Hull', Admiral's Cup Black Hull', 'Admiral's Cup Chrono Sport', 'Admiral's Cup Tides', 'Admiral's Cup Leap Sec/Foudroyante', 'Admiral's Cup Tourbillon', and for the left handed man; 'Admiral's Cup LHS', ranging from 40 mm to 50 mm in case size. These models got their start in 1960 and led the way to success for Corum luxury watches. These watches are highly connected with major sailing competitions and feature a unique twelve-sided case with 12 nautical pennants. For the man who loves the sea, they are a great addition to his watch collection.

Most Corum watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually Corum's self-winding movements need to rotate 650 - 800 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch.

Though Corum has done some interesting work with their Bridge collection throughout the years, it is the Admiral’s Cup that marks the brand’s strongest and most recognizable design language. For 2016, Corum has released the Corum Admiral Legend 42 Auto and Admiral Legend 42 Chronograph watches that serve as a great counterpart to some of their more unusual pieces like the Bubble watch that was reintroduced last year.
