Revealed at Baselworld, the Corum Admiral's Cup Legend 46 Minute Repeater Acoustica is the first minute repeater with 4 gongs that produce 4 notes - two chords at the same time for hours and two for minutes.

The Acoustica comes in Corum's signature dodecagonal shaped 46 mm x 14.44 mm case. The case, bezel crown and crown protector are in grade 5 titanium. There is no dial, instead the hours markers are engraved on the flange, allowing for a perfect view into the hand decorated mechanical movement. The hour and minute hands are dauphine-variant shaped that have been skeletonzied and Rhodium coated.

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.
