CORUM – Bubble PAISTE Limited Edition







CORUM Heritage Bubble PAISTE Limited Edition NEW


Corum Bubble Paiste
Keeping Time Together

Craftsmanship, know-how and high quality standards are amongst the major components behind a watch. It is inherited from the long history of the watch making industry established in Switzerland. For centuries, craftsmen have trained their skills and transferred them to the next generation. This spirit is the same that flows both inside the walls of Corum & Paiste

The two brands share the same values that can be qualified as “Best of Switzerland”. They joined forces by creating a timepiece with a dial being the exact miniature version of a cymbal. Just like Paiste cymbals, every dial is finished by hand, therefore every watch is unique.

From the stainless steel case – treated with black PVD – to the strap being black rubber with a matte black calf leather inlay, a full black dressing was selected to make the miniature version stand out from its case.

The full black dress refers very well to one of the most renowned styles of music Paiste has served for more than 40 years now, Rock Music! Supplying the best drummers of the biggest bands in the history of Rock Music such as Kiss, Pink Floyd or AC/DC, Paiste is a brand of reference in the musicians’ world. What other music could best match the Bubble and its provocative and disruptive history in the world of Haute Horlogerie!

On 7 December, the founding day of Lange Uhren GmbH, the "F. A. Lange Watchmaking Excellence Award" for the year 2015 was presented in Dresden. Reima Koivukoski (23), a student of Kelloseppäkoulu – the Finnish School of Watchmaking – received the prize of 10,000 euros for his design of a calendar-week display that also emulates the axial tilt of the Earth. He accepted the prize from Lange CEO Wilhelm Schmid and company founder Walter Lange at an international press event in Dresden's Albertinum gallery.

The assignment of this year's competition was to create and craft a calendar-week display. Eight aspiring watchmakers from five countries qualified to compete for the prize. They spent a few days at the manufactory in May, during which they were acquainted with the assignment in detail.

A jury consisting of five experts assessed the entries at the end of November. In addition to company founder Walter Lange and Anthony de Haas, Director of Product Development at Lange, the jury members included specialised journalists Gisbert L. Brunner and Peter Braun as well as Peter Plassmeyer, the director of the Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments in Dresden. The panel assessed the originality of the idea, its technical functionality, the quality of craftsmanship and aesthetical aspects.

Reima Koivukoski's design impressed the jury for its creative approach, technical complexity and attention to detail, both in construction and high-quality workmanship. "His work reflects a style of his own, a sense of aesthetics and ergonomics as well as the courage to modify the architecture of the movement", explained the jury in its statement. The fact that Koivukoski's work displays the axial tilt of the Earth in relation to the Sun impressed the jury. This truly unique feature was inspired by Finland's geographic position, which is characterised by the contrast between winter darkness and the white nights of summer.
