Launched more than 60 years ago, the Admiral product line is inspired by the great sailing races of that period in which Corum was a key actor. Iconic models of the Maison are highly recognized by their distinctive dodecagonal-shaped bezels and nautical pennants on the dials. Sporty yet elegant, Admiral watches embrace a lifestyle attitude, perfect for today’s navigators and sailors, as well as for those who simply love the seas.

Today, Corum unveils a new Admiral timepiece with a striking black carbon aesthetic combined with green SuperLuminova.

The 45 mm timepiece is crafted from ultra-light black carbon providing utmost comfort on the wrist and a unique look. Carbon is a lightweight material made of fibers, giving each watch an unmistakable appearance. Inspired by the tides and their seasonal changing colors, the case reveals its hidden beauty at night thanks to luminescent green inclusions in the carbon that glow like thousands of firelights. To achieve this special aesthetic, the carbon fiber has first been positioned in various ways and combined with green SuperLuminova elements. Then, both materials are melted together at specific pressures and temperatures – a subtle mix of skill and expertise. This process allows the multiple carbon fibers to create various shapes and make every timepiece unique.

Thanks to the in-house openworked movement, the Admiral watch offers a deep view of the automatic mechanism from both sides and reveals the component’s meticulous finishing. Often hidden, the barrel and its spring are partially unveiled. As a nod to the Admiral’s aesthetic design codes, the bridges have been designed with the same geometric shape as the iconic dodecagonal bezel.

The automatic movement, CO 297, developed in-house by Corum’s engineers, beats at a frequency of 4Hz, and has a power reserve of 48 hours. On the back of the case, the sapphire glass offers a beautiful view of the distinctive 360-degree rotor.

The Admiral watch displays hours and minutes in the center of the dial. At 3 o’clock, the power reserve is indicated, while at 9 o’clock, a 3-minute counter appears, paying tribute to the Corum’s three founders (René Banwart, Gaston Ries, and Simone Ries).

Completing the overall design, the timepiece is equipped with a matching black rubber strap. It is water-resistant to 100 meters.

Chronometrie Ferdinand Berthoud - The successes achieved in 2021

 

FERDINAND BERTHOUD – CHRONOMÉTRIE - The successes achieved in 2021

Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud named "Best Independent Brand" at the Middle East Watch & Jewellery Awards 2021. This award marks the close of an extremely successful year for the Maison, which has been committed since the outset to offering collections inspired by the work of Ferdinand Berthoud.

The ▶️ Régulateur Squelette (Chronomètre FB RS) introduced in 2021 is the result of this ongoing exchange of views: a collection that redefines the notion of a limited edition by introducing a limitation on the number of movements produced and no longer on the model reference.

This approach has met with great success among collectors, offering them the possibility of creating a timepiece in their own image by choosing a round or octagonal case for the same movement.

"Some collectors have been following what we have been doing since the beginning with great interest”, explains Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, President of Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud. "The majority emphasise the consistency of our developments and the quality of our timepieces, the primary criteria guiding each of our choices."

We are eagerly looking forward to introducing you to the watch creations we have in store for you next year.”
