Originally introduced in 2009, the Corum Admiral's Cup 45 Minute Repeater is now offered in a grade 5 titanium case.
The coolest feature of the Minute Repeater Tourbillon is the innovative mechanism that allows the wearer to activate the minute repeater function by rotating the bezel. Another impressive feature, is the smoked PVD-treated sapphire crystal dial which offers stunning views of the intricate minute repeater and tourbillon mechanisms.

Introducing the Corum Admiral's Cup Seafender 48 Deep Dive, a true professional dive watch. According to the FHS, "Divers' watches must be water resistant at 330 ft minimum. They must also feature a time controller and comply with standards provided by NIHS 92-11 (ISO 6425) : luminosity, shock resistance, anti-magnetism, band solidity."
With a massive 48 mm x 18.9 mm solid Grade 5 titanium case, the Seafender 48 can withstand pressure far greater than the ISO 6425 dive watch standard requires. In fact, with a depth rating of 1,000 meters, it is actually ten times better.

The case is rubber coated stainless steel and measures 44 mm in diameter. The crown and guards are made of vulcanized rubber. The strap is made of matching rubber and is integrated directly into the case.

To celebrate Corum's 55th anniversary, the La-Chaux-de-Fonds manufacture has re-issued a new version of the Round Golden Bridge wristwatch, originally introduced in 1980. I've been a big fan of the recent Golden Bridge timepieces, which have only come in rectangle and tourneau shaped cases, until now (other than the 1980 vintage version). I have not seen this wristwatch in-person yet, but I can already predict that it will be one of my favorite Corum novelties at the upcoming Baselworld show. Chronometrically, the timepiece is not much different than previous models. Aesthetically, though, the round case is so much more proper.
The main appeal of Corum's Golden Bridge collection lies in their exclusive miniaturized mechanical baguette movement. The hand wound manufacture calibre CO113 is a mere 33 mm long by only 3 mm high, and less than 5 mm thick. It runs at 4 hertz (or 28,800 vph) and has a power reserver of 40-hours. The mainplate and bridges are solid gold and have been hand engraved. The beautifully finished movement is suspended in the center of the case, with sapphire crystals front and back, and a perfect view from both sides.

CORUM establishes itself on the shores of Lake Léman with the opening of its first own-name boutique in Switzerland, located in Geneva
In the year the watch brand is celebrating half a century of its flagship Admiral's Cup collection and the 30th birthday of its iconic Corum Bridges collection, CORUM is inaugurating its first boutique in Switzerland on September 2nd, 2010. After the December 2009 opening of its first ever own name store in Hong Kong, CORUM has chosen to set up its second such boutique in Geneva.
CORUM is now also establishing itself on the shores of Lake Léman with the opening of its first own-name boutique in the cradle of Swiss watchmaking, Geneva. With the watch brand currently asserting itself as a major player on the waters of Lake Léman through various sailing sponsorship activities*, it has welcomed customers since July 6th to a boutique exclusively dedicated to the brand universe in Geneva's prestigious Right-Bank district Les Bergues.

In addition to the Admiral's Cup collection that is already celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2010, the Admiral's Cup Black Chronograph 40 already has the makings of greatness. Loyal to the aesthetic design that has forged the collection's admirable reputation, it proudly bears the identity codes of its siblings: a 12- sided case and nautical pennant hour-markers. Featuring a 40 mm diameter, well suited to ladies' wrists, the newcomer clearly tops the bill right from its first appearance. It is equipped with a chronograph that asserts its sporting nature, while clothed in intense black and diamonds that proclaim its feminine spirit.
Having earned international recognition as Corum's sports watch collection, the Admiral's Cup has been pay- ing tribute to the world of sailing for half a century. The bold aesthetics of its 12-sided case have made it an iconic model that is one of the four brand pillars alongside the Corum Bridges, Romvlvs and Artisans lines.

The OKLAYS-CORUM team wins first place at the Genève-Rolle-Genève regatta, which took place June 5th. Please reader the full PDF press release after the jump.
I like this image, because this will be the view I see of Lake Geneva, when I go to Geneva this Sunday, for a three day Roger Dubuis Manufacture tour. I've never been to Geneva, or Switzerland in the summer, so it should be fun. I will definitely be posting lots of images of the factory tour next week (including shots from Lake Geneva, the Swiss Alps, and more).
