CORUM - Ti-Bridge 3-Day Power Reserve NEW
CORUM - Ti-Bridge 3-Day Power Reserve Only Watch – Unique Piece for Only Watch 2013
Confirming its commitment to research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy,
Swiss luxury watch brand Corum creates a one-of-a-kind version of the
Ti-Bridge with linear
3-Day Power Reserve indicator for
ONLY WATCH. This
unique piece offered in a two-tone titanium and red gold case features
an engraving of Asclepius and his snake-entwined staff, the symbol of
medicine – an allegory celebrating the work of the
Monaco Association
against Muscular Dystrophy.
Corum is associating with the 5th
edition of the “ONLY WATCH” charity auction scheduled for September 28th
2013 in
Monaco. Organized by the Monaco Association against Muscular
Dystrophy, the auction will bring together around 40 watch brands and
all profits will serve to fund research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

This timepiece beats to the rhythm of a horizontal inline baguette
movement, patented by Corum and held by four cross-bars. The model
redesigned on this occasion features a play on materials expressed in
two-tone gold and titanium. While the upper surface of the case glows
with the restrained elegance of grade 5 titanium, the sides are made
from 5N 18K red gold, adorned with modeled engraving. The association of
the two materials is eminently modern and makes a perfect match with
the architectural codes of the watch. The applied logo and hour-markers
are gilded, as are the hours and minutes hands and the power-reserve
indicator, thereby creating a striking contrast with the anthracite grey
dial.

The engravings on the side of the case depict Asclepius, the Greek god
of medicine, and the serpent twined around his staff that has become the
symbol of medicine – a fine allegory and a paean of praise to the ONLY
WATCH initiative. The engravings are entirely handcrafted using a
time-honoured technique requiring meticulous artistry. The process
involves an extremely accurate set of gestures that begins with working
on the reliefs so as to define the contours of the motifs. This
operation is followed by high-precision line engraving performed using
an instrument known as a scorper and serving to mark out the details of
the motif, such as the veins of the leaves or the scales of the serpent.

the latter operation that truly gives life to Asclepius’ face and
makes this one-of-a-kind model a genuine work of art. The background is
then reworked by hand using a chasing tool and a punch to achieve a
regular matt effect, a texture that makes a delightful contrast with the
shiny décor and thereby sets it off to full advantage.
The
Ti-Bridge 3-Day Power Reserve powered by
Caliber CO107 displays the
hours and minutes as well as a linear-type power-reserve indication. To
achieve this, the movement is equipped with a satellite gear train that
is visible when looking at the watch from the side along the 9 o’clock –
3 o’clock axis, but invisible when this
Ti-Bridge is viewed from the
front. This complication features several specific characteristics,
including a differential system with three wheels of which one is
off-centered and referred to as “planetary”.
Depending on the
rotation direction, the latter turns either on its own axis, or around
that of the two other wheels, thereby connecting the barrel, the winding
stem and the power reserve within a minimal space. This one-of-a-kind
model comes on a rubber-look leather strap fitted with a titanium triple
folding clasp complete with two safety pushers.
