ART AT THE HEART OF WATCHMAKING:

Founded in 1955, CORUM has always stood out for its pioneering spirit and relentless pursuit of innovation. The brand has built a solid reputation thanks to its daring designs and revolutionary movements. The Golden Bridge model, emblematic of this tradition of excellence, perfectly embodies this philosophy.

History of the Golden Bridge

The history of the Golden Bridge began in 1977 at the International Inventors’ Fair in Geneva. Independent watchmaker Vincent Calabrese presented a patented watch composed of 45 components. CORUM immediately acquired the patent and collaborated with Vincent Calabrese to develop this unique movement.

The inspiration behind the Golden Bridge stems from a remarkable anecdote: a client had asked Vincent Calabrese to repair only the case of a damaged watch, thus devaluing the beauty of the movement.

Determined to prove the aesthetic value of the watch movement, Vincent Calabrese designed a watch where the movement would be highlighted. Three years later, in 1980, the first Golden Bridge was presented at the Basel Fair, and no less than seven patents were filed.

Despite the quartz crisis of the 1980s, this model experienced resounding success, thus confirming CORUM’s reputation as a true watchmaking manufacturer. The linear baguette movement, a technical and aesthetic revolution, stands out with its bridges and main plate made of 18-carat gold, hand-engraved.

This exceptional timepiece features a 5N rose gold tonneau-shaped case, equipped with sapphire crystals on nearly all sides, offering a breathtaking view of the Golden Bridge CO 113 movement. Composed of over 190 components, this manual movement at 4 Hz offers a 40-hour power reserve, a remarkable feat for a barrel of this size.

Precision is ensured by a variable inertia balance, meticulously adjusted by the Maison’s watchmakers. But the true beauty of this watch lies in the integration of the arts, notably micro-sculpture and painting.

A Watchmaking Masterpiece

At the heart of an 18-carat gold jungle, made of hand-painted leaves and vines, a serpent entwines around the iconic Golden Bridge movement.

This artistic work requires nearly a hundred hours of meticulous work, from design to micro-sculpture, then painting, to bring this unique creation to life. The numerous sapphire crystals allow every detail of this masterpiece to be admired, offering an unparalleled visual experience.

CORUM – BUBBLE 47 Central Tourbillon by Label Noir Piece Unique

CORUM AND LABEL NOIR CREATE A UNIQUE BUBBLE

 The Corum Bubble 47 Central Tourbillon by Label Noir

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

CORUM has teamed up with Label Noir in a new collaboration to manufacture a unique timepiece dedicated to the renowned Macau Master of Time Event. By partnering with Label Noir, the Swiss watchmaking company, located in La Chaux-de-Fonds, has given carte blanche to Label Noir’s creative team, which specializes in bespoke timepiece customization.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The Bubble collection, and more specifically the emblematic CORUM Bubble 47 Central Tourbillon model, has been enhanced with the most distinctive features of the Geneva-based customization brand: black, acid green, textured finishes, and grey and matte tones, in order to highlight its deeply contemporary essence.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The fruit of their collaboration is an unmistakably Corum watch loaded with signatures, symbols, and stories.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

In the year 2000, CORUM introduced the Bubble, an oversized wristwatch with a domed sapphire crystal. A design so radical that the timepiece has become a must-have for the new millennium. It bridges the gap between two universes, watchmaking, and pop culture.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The Bubble Collection was Severin Wunderman’s rendition of his own vision of creativity. The entrepreneur had just acquired Corum when he launched the Bubble. At that time, he was inspired by a highly technical and experimental diving watch, able to withstand enormous pressure, which was topped with a thick glass dome.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Severin Wunderman took this inspiration and translated it into the iconic Bubble, a generous 47 mm diameter theater stage. The Bubble is now an arena for artistic experimentation, a lounge where Corum hosts its proms and invites other performers, graphic designers, and artists to collaborate, contributing their creativity and artistic talent to bring a new level of avant-garde designs to the brand.

Label Noir has applied all its expertise in colors and finishes to emphasize, in its own way, how to read time and make the Bubble a monument of contemporary watchmaking. The idea sounds simple enough, however, the resulting effect is powerful and impressive. All the more so since the model chosen for this collaborative venture is a Corum milestone piece, an obvious creation, a purely technical piece of fine watchmaking, featuring an (almost) traditional complication: the Bubble Central Tourbillon.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

An almost conventional complication, in fact, because this tourbillon, which features traditional architecture, has been freed from the periphery of the dial to its center. This sidestep turns the whole architecture of the movement and the display upside down: everything is reversed, from the mechanical show in the center which is amplified by the Bubble’s dome, to the display – no hands, just indicators – around the edges.   

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Several versions of this central tourbillon have already been produced in various materials, with the aim of anchoring this watchmaking ‘spacecraft’ into traditional haute horlogerie’s world while playing with opposites, such as steel and blue, gold and black.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Label Noir went for a different approach. Very graphic finishes, deceptively minimalist, because the play of nuances is complex, with anthracite and silvery hues, matte finishes, bracelet (matte textured black rubber), case (grade 5 titanium treated with black ADLC), bezel (grade 5 titanium coated with satin black ADLC), right down to the plate. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

No longer an assembly of different parts, this watch is a whole: one continuous thought process with a bubble on top.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

A few more dashes of steel enhance the dial pattern, numerals, and display discs, and refocus the eyes on the central body, the beating heart, the tourbillon.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Finally, what must be read is highlighted with a few strokes of contrasting color: acid green, Label Noir’s signature, is added to the hour-minute indicators, the dual mark, and the strap stitching.

 In brief 

On the dial, only Corum x Label Noir appears. A minimalistic approach for a collaborative piece and a subtle work of nuances, like a picture, a revealing dip to grasp this watch’s genius and spirit: a Bubble with its mechanical heart, a sapphire dome, and a central tourbillon. And to emphasize the uniqueness of Corum Bubble Central Tourbillon, Label Noir was careful to unify the piece, the strap and the case, the case and the bezel, the bezel and the discs of the dial. With just a few indications outlined in green, Label Noir reminds us that it is still a watch and that its main duty is to tell time.
