The Golden Bridge

In celebration of CORUM's 50th Anniversary, a new rendition of a revolutionary concept introduced 25 years ago is brought back to life, the world-renowned Golden Bridge. Originally created in 1980, the new Golden Bridge is a modern interpretation of the instant classic with an entirely re-engineered movement that captures the purity and emotions of the original.

The small transparent sapphire paragon from the 1980's has evolved even further into a model designed in the spirit of the 21st century. Imagine 18-carat gold bridges finely hand-engraved with delicate scrolling patterns, tiny gears lined up in a row, and slender open-worked black gold hands, all which appear to be suspended in space. The transparent splendour of the four sapphire crystals framed above, below and on the sides by four slender gold ribs, envelops the tonneau shaped case which is crafted in 18-carat gold or platinum with a cambered profile on the upper side and inwardly curved underneath for a most comfortable fit on the wrist. The four golden screws ensure that the watch is perfectly waterresistant to a depth of 30 meters or 100 feet. The winding and time-setting crown at 6 o'clock, engraved with the Corum key, runs in a straight line down from the movement and activates a "slipping spring" winding system. Fully wound, the movement has a power reserve of 40 hours.

The Golden Bridge comes in several yellow, pink or white gold variations with a matching gold movement, or in platinum with a pink gold movement. It is fitted with a crocodile leather strap with an 18-carat gold buckle or an 18- carat gold bracelet. There are also brilliant-set jewellery versions available. A 50th Anniversary Special Limited Edition with a dial is offered in 50 watches in platinum, 50 in yellow gold, 50 in pink gold, and 50 in white gold, each numbered 1 to 50.
