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.

Unveiled ahead of the SIHH 2017, the Patrimony moon phase and retrograde date is an invitation to raise our gaze skywards. This new timepiece, with its pure lines typical of the Patrimony collection, features a dial on which the cycle and age of the moon are reproduced on a display that will require no corrections for 122 years. Vacheron Constantin is combining this elegant complication with a retrograde date indication, graduated from 1 to 31 across the upper dial arc.
