Ateliers deMonaco – Tourbillon Ronde d'Or – WAT ARUN Unique piece
















Ateliers deMonacoTourbillon Ronde d'Or WAT ARUN White Gold Unique piece NEW


Ateliers deMonaco introduces a unique piece 
dedicated to the Wat Arun Temple in Thailand: 
The new TourbillonWAT ARUN

Geneva December 2016

In celebration of the Loy Krathong festival, Ateliers deMonaco has created a new piece called the Tourbillon - WAT ARUN. This traditional "fête-des-lumières" is one of the most beautiful and famous events in Thailand. It is celebrated annually on the night of the twelfth lunar month. It celebrates the end of the rain season and honours the water spirits. People release shaped rafts made of banana leaf and decorated with candles and flowers, which then float onto the river.

This temple has been named after Aruna, the Indian God of Dawn. It is a representation of Mount Meru, the iconic representation of the center of the world in Buddhist Cosmology. In Thailand, there are over 31'200 Buddhist temples and the Wat Arun temple is the most famous one, thanks to its recognisable design. The design is very different from the other temples; it is partly made with tiny pieces of coloured glass and Chinese porcelain placed delicately into intricate patterns.

The dial of the Tourbillon Wat Arun required an extraordinary 200 hours of work. It is composed of 3 layers of solid 18K White gold, all applied by hand and a Tourbillon opening which naturally draws attention to this mechanical wonder. The most beautiful part is the hand-engraved dial showing the Wat Arun temple, as iconic as our unique timepieces. We can distinguish around the temple's engraving the four-corner prang of Wat Arun, which house image of the guardian gods, Nayu, gods of the four direction.

The hand-engraved details give this watch its own personal touch and makes it a one of-a-kind creation. This has been realised by Bernad Ditzof, our master engraver, which skills are incomparable and make him one of the few people in the world that can master such dexterity and method.

The front and back are made of sapphire crystal exposing the finest details of the patented "eXtreme Precision 1 minute" tourbillon and its hand-engraved 22K solid gold rotor. This tourbillon movement is known to be the most precise tourbillon movement in the world with a tolerance between 0-2 seconds per 24 hours. The calibre is adorned with 29 jewels and a sapphire tourbillon bridge.

For the past 35 years, the unique Golden Bridge movement has been cased in many exceptional variations, case shapes, and materials. The pinnacle of Corum’s collection, this timepiece in its many versions is innovative and unique – in great part due to its eminently visible inline movement construction. The Golden Bridge’s uncommon caliber is sheathed in sapphire crystal, allowing the skill of the watchmaker to be fully appreciated from every angle.

Early in 2016, Corum revisited a round design of the Golden Bridge with the introduction of the Golden Bridge Round, whose manually wound inline baguette-shaped movement CO113 was housed in a 43 mm round red gold case created by renowned designer Dino Modolo.

Now Corum returns with a new Round model sized for a woman’s wrist that likewise allows the observer to see how one is able to think outside the proverbial box to create an astonishing play of geometry featuring round and rectangular shapes. Following the design codes of art deco, the Golden Bridge Round focuses on the harmonious electricity between shapes, materials, and functionality.

The combination of round case and beautifully engraved and finished inline movement turned on its side perfectly complement one another, while the extra embellishment of precious resin and diamonds surrounding the fully visible caliber add color, sparkle, shine, and eye-catching brilliance.

The colorful natural resin elements of the variations of the Golden Bridge Round are housed within a gold micro structure “cage” set with diamonds and handcrafted embellishment. The diamonds are expertly set by a local Swiss artisan.

“The Golden Bridge is the capstone of Corums collections, an illustration of Swiss horology at its best,” Corum’s CEO David Traxler said. “Its innovative aesthetic and unique movement construction are timeless. With this, we wanted to go further with the architecture of the movement and timepiece itself.”
