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.
Fusing the arts of watchmaking and jewellery creation A cross between micromechanics and architecture, the Golden Bridge Round now forms ties with another fascinating universe – the world of high jewellery. Five unique pieces made from white gold or rose gold are illuminated with almost seven carats of jewels: diamonds, rubies, sapphires and a whole rainbow of baguette-cut precious stones. A round case measuring 43 mm in diameter and decoration perfectly miniaturising the structure of the monumental Californian suspension bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, are embellished by 108 gemstones. Five unique pieces The union of rectangle and circle revealed by transparent sapphire. Enhanced by almost seven carats of precious stones, these five exclusive watches housed in a round case water-resistant to 30 metres are powered by a baguette-shaped tourbillon movement. A master stroke of watchmaking, the manually wound CO213 calibre, featuring a variable inertia balance wheel, beats at the frequency of 19,200 vibrations per hour to give 40 hours of autonomy. It presents hour and minute functions, indicated by elegant faceted hands and fine appliqué indexes. Its technical features are only matched by its precious nature, with a sapphire crystal bridge and a gold mainplate engraved with fern motifs. The ultimate in refinement is finished with an alligator-leather strap with a gold folding clasp.
