Press Release: Golden Bridge Round Tourbillon Five Unique Pieces.

GOLDEN BRIDGE ROUND TOURBILLON FIVE UNIQUE PIECES FOR A DAZZLING BEJEWELLED CHOREOGRAPHY


In a striking spectacle of precious stones, Corum’s iconic Golden Bridge forms five unique pieces housed within its new round case. Each exceptional model is fitted with a baguette-shaped tourbillon movement with decoration inspired by San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, and is marked out by 204 sparkling jewels: diamonds, sapphires and rubies! Corum’s legendary baguette-shaped Golden Bridge movement has embodied the Swiss brand’s Fine Watchmaking expertise and avant-garde spirit since 1980. One of a kind, it has been enhanced in recent years by transparent sapphire in a tonneau shaped case. But, for the first time in its existence, this delicate calibre achieves the technical feat of combining its vertical movement with a round shape. Rectangular and circular, and micro and macro come together in this model, designed to be a bridge between two fields of excellence – watchmaking and architecture.
