About The Brand - Gaston Ries founded Corum in 1924 and spent 31 years creating timepieces independently before partnering with René Bannwart in 1955. The brand's logo, a key pointing towards the skies, symbolizes the company's future. Corum's first models, such as the Golden Tube and Chinese Hat watch, were noted for their creativity. The Admiral's Cup collection was born in the early 60s, named after the legendary sailing race. Corum's Coin watches used gold coins in their design and became the choice of watch for six consecutive US Presidents.
From the late 60s to 1980, Corum developed and released the Feather watch, a watch with a dial adorned with Corum's rich heritage and artistry. The Corum Rolls-Royce watch was created in 1980 with a sleek avant-garde design. The Golden Bridge watch, released in 1980, connected Corum to the Swiss watch industry deeply.
From 1983 to 2001, Corum continued with the popular Admiral's Cup collection, featuring a new dodecagon design and nautical elements. The Admiral's Cup Tides watch followed, powered by the CO 277 movement. Corum also excelled with models like the Bubble watch and the Corum Trapeze watch.
In 2005, Corum celebrated its 50th anniversary with a revival of the classic Golden Bridge watch and uplifts to the Admiral's Cup and Romvlvs watches. In 2010, Corum pioneered the baguette movement with linear winding and its first in-house self-winding movement.
