Corum has equipped the new Caliber CO 1008 with two parallel-mounted tourbillons, dedicated to ensuring remarkable reliability backed by a generous 72-hour power reserve.  This mechanism is also fitted with a retrograde date and a particularly innovative time adjustment device.  Simply  by  pressing  the  crown  pushbutton,  the  wearer  can  bring  the minutes hand instantly to the 12th index so as to set the exact time - and this can be done up to five minutes before or after a full hour.

Contemporary and sophisticated

 

Embodying  an  authentic  horological  challenge,  Caliber  CO  1008  finds  the  perfect  stagesetting in the iconic twelve-sided case of the Admiral’s Cup – born in 1960 and redesigned in  2013,  while  remaining  staunchly  true  to  the  signature  codes  that  have  earned  it legendary status. Based on a contemporary architecture featuring alternating polished and satin-brushed  finishes,  its  layered  construction  comprises  black  PVD-coated  titanium inserts appearing in turn between the case back and middle and then between the bezel and the case middle – all contributing to a masterfully structured aesthetic approach.

Available in 18K red gold or grade 5 titanium, the case of the Admiral’s Cup AC-One Double Tourbillon  stylishly  displays  a  generous  45  mm  diameter  enhanced  by  an  immediately recognizable  design.  Clearly cut out for adventure, it is endowed with impressive water resistance to a depth of 300 meters.

The dial swept over by luminescent hands and hour-markers is adorned with an exclusive design specially developed for Corum:  the split pomegranate motif.  Forming  small diagonally-incised squares, this composition creates an elegant depth effect accentuated by  the  inner  bezel  ring  stamped  with  the  emblematic nautical  pennants  of  the  Admiral’s  Cup collection.

While the two tourbillons spin on the lower part of the dial, a dynamic red arrow points to the retrograde  date  segment  appearing  on  the  upper  part  like  an  extension  of  the  two carriages. The  dazzling  style  of  the  Admiral’s  Cup  AC-One  45  Double  Tourbillon  continues  on  the bridge  side,  where  the  transparent  back  reveals  the beauty  of  the  mechanical  caliber oscillating  at  a  frequency  of  21,600  vibrations  per hour  (3  Hz).  The  movement’s  modern execution  features  a  horizontal  satin-brushed  finish  and  anthracite  grey  engravings.

Mounted  on  a  mainplate  made  of  cupro-beryllium,  a  particularly  wear-resistant  copper based alloy, it testifies to a determination to endow exceptional horological complications with  remarkable  long-term  reliability.  The Admiral’s Cup AC-One 45 Double Tourbillon is thus set to continue, for many years to come, beating to the pulse of watchmaking mingling outstanding performance and powerful emotions.
