“The Admiral is an iconic symbol of Corum’s heritage and history. The collection draws inspiration from the maritime world, representing the daring and dauntless spirit of modern-day adventurers. We are delighted to introduce the Admiral 42 Automatic Black and Gold which has been designed in collaboration with Cortina Watch. A catalyst of creative expression, the Admiral 42 Automatic Black and Gold infuses the iconic, timeless design of the Admiral, with its unique 12-sided case and nautical pennants on the dial, inspired by the great sailing races, and contemporary flair of new materials and cutting-edge technology,” said Mr. Boon Chong Soon, Vice President of Corum.

The Admiral 42 Automatic Black and Gold is a stunning timepiece that exudes charm and elegance.

The 42mm model comes in a sandblasted black ceramic case with a carbon and gold bezel. Each bezel is unique, as it is made by combining 18K 5N gold inclusions with carbon, resulting in a one-of-a-kind design where no two pieces in this line-up are the same, because of the meticulous process of combining fluctuating layers of 18K 5N gold inclusions with carbon.

ArtyA – COMPLICATION Purity Bicolor Tourbillon Edition

 

ArtyACOMPLICATION Curvy Purity Bicolor Tourbillon Sapphire Limited Edition - 2023

ArtyA Presents the “Purity Tourbillon” Collection

A Horological Symphony in Three Movements: Celebrating the purity of time,
presented in three variations of shapes and sizes.

Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of the ‘Purity Tourbillon’;
discover the delicate and discreet charm of the ‘Tiny Purity’;
and be enchanted by the graceful curves of the ‘Curvy Purity’.


Our latest creation, the ‘Curvy Purity Tourbillon Bicolor’,
boldly combines color and technical prowess.

Offering two distinct hues in one single block, its case features a technology that transcends the conventional codes for sapphire crystal colors in high horology.


The Purity Movement: a 9-gram legacy, masterfully evolving with its time

The 'Purity' Tourbillon by ArtyA: a seamless blend of transparency and technology. It showcases an impressive tourbillon (at 18 mm in diameter, instantly recognizable as the movement’s signature) that is fully integrated as a distinctive design element. This feature highlights two key strengths of the ArtyA brand: the mastery of sapphire and the imagination in creating original horological movements.

Equipped with two parallel-mounted barrels for powering the tourbillon beating at 4 Hz beating, the movement was, from its inception, conceived as a miniature exoskeletal sculpture.

Weighing a mere 9 grams, it pushes boundaries through the use of cutting-edge precision and design technologies, while remaining true to meticulous traditional finishing, such as cast-iron sandblasting and hand beveling. Its ample power reserve ensures a 72-hour autonomy, blending advanced engineering with enduring elegance.

A sapphire case, cutting-edge technology, total transparency

The sophisticated tourbillon movement has the effect of amplifying’s ArtyA’s mastery of sapphire, enabling the brand to fully express its creativity.

Indeed, the 'Purity Tourbillon' – nominated in the ‘Tourbillon’ category at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève 2021 soon after its release – now comes in an array of models: from the 45.5-mm transparent white version to the NanoSaphirTM variants, like the color-shifting 'Chameleon' (amber/green) and 'Bicolor' (yellow/purple).

Tiny Purity Tourbillon: the story continues to unfold

The 'Tiny Purity Tourbillon' watch, part and parcel of this already sought-after collection, encapsulates the brand’s expertise and savoir-faire in a new 39 mm case. In fact, the smaller size not only retains all of the larger model’s technical sophistication but also magnifies it, showcasing an impressive feat of engineering in a compact form –with an imposing 18 mm tourbillon lending it a distinct character.

To achieve this, the entire movement had to be reimagined, with a dial relocated to 3 o’clock above the two barrels providing a 72-hour power reserve. Compatible with ArtyA's extensive range of sapphire crystal and NanoSaphirTM cases, the Tiny Purity Tourbillon has succeeded in captivating numerous collectors of the Geneva-based brand.

This commercial success was further underscored by ArtyA's nomination at the GPHG 2023 in the 'Men’s Complication' category for the 'Tiny Purity Tourbillon Chameleon' whose NanoSaphirTM case switches from amber to green, depending on the ambient light. This recognition not only celebrates the movement crafted by ArtyA but also testifies to the brand’s achievements in the field of sapphire crystal.

This rare material, the third-hardest after diamond and moissanite, is challenging and costly to shape into cases that meet ArtyA's high standards. The Geneva-based watchmaker continues to be the uncontested pioneer, always innovating and exploring new pathways for leveraging the material’s core benefits: exceptional durability due to its hardness (9 on the Mohs scale compared to 5.5 for traditional glass) and its crystal-clear transparency that offers a remarkable visual spectacle.

Curvy Purity Tourbillon: a masterful blend of horological artistry and engineering

With its curved Tonneau case, the 'Curvy Purity Tourbillon', the latest addition to the family, stands out for its unique geometry, offering proportions that are as pleasing to the eye as they are comfortable on the wrist.

Featuring the all-new 'Curvy Purity Tourbillon' movement with its oversized 4 Hz tourbillon now positioned at 6 o'clock, this design is all about the harmony of curves and volumes in a remarkably ergonomic 38.5 x 43 millimeter watch – a creation by Jérémie Arpa, son of Yvan Arpa.

 The time display has been optimized with a discreetly elegant dial at 12 o'clock, as presented on the 'Curvy Purity Tourbillon Emerald' unveiled during the Dubai Watch Week 2023
