Early in 2016, Corum revisited a round design of
the Golden Bridge with the introduction of the
Golden Bridge Round, whose manually wound
inline baguette-shaped movement CO113
was housed in a 43 mm round red gold case
created by renowned designer Dino Modolo.
Now Corum returns with a new Round model sized for a woman’s wrist
that likewise allows the observer to see how one is able to think outside
the proverbial box to create an astonishing play of geometry featuring
round and rectangular shapes. Following the design codes of art deco,
the Golden Bridge Round focuses on the harmonious electricity between
shapes, materials, and functionality. The combination of round case and
beautifully engraved and finished inline movement turned on its side perfectly
complement one another, while the extra embellishment of precious
resin and diamonds surrounding the fully visible calibre add colour, sparkle,
shine, and eye-catching brilliance. The colourful natural resin elements
of the variations of the Golden Bridge Round are housed within a gold
micro structure “cage” set with diamonds and handcrafted embellishment.
The diamonds are expertly set by a local Swiss artisan.
“The Golden Bridge is the capstone of Corum’s collections, an illustration
of Swiss horology at its best,” Corum’s CEO David Traxler said. “Its innovative
aesthetic and unique movement construction are timeless. With this,
we wanted to go further with the architecture of the movement and timepiece
itself.”
