In 2010, Corum also celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of its extraordinary Golden Bridge. During its thirty year history, its immediately recognizable esthetical codes and fascinating baguette movement have made the Golden Bridge an emblem of CORUM, and an icon of high horology.To celebrate this anniversary in style, the watchmakers of the brand have worked together for two years to create the caliber CO213, a masterwork in terms of micromechanics, housing 182 components on a tiny baguette measuring 33mm by 3mm. Combining traditional watch*** and high-end materials they write a new chapter in an already rich watch*** history. Indeed, CORUM has created the first baguette movement with a tourbillon escapement, housed in the world's smallest cage �C 8.5 mm in diameter �C with an escapement in Silicium. Beating at 19'200 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of 40 hours despite a miniaturized barrel, which is almost hidden by the movement, the new caliber CO213 has also been designed in line with the codes of high horology. Its plate and bridges are crafted in 18kt gold and hand-engraved with patterns replicating the shape of tree ferns from the Jura region, the cradle of watch*** and home to CORUM. No detail has been left to chance; even the upper bridge of the tourbillon cage reproduces the characteristic shape of the brand's emblem, the key crafted in titanium.This movement is housed in the legendary Golden Bridge case. The dials are set behind the mechanism and are worked in various materials such as meteorite, enamel, semi-precious stones or mother-of-pearl with different finishes. On the bottom of the case the opening also takes the shape of a lock, echoing the brand's mantra: "Unlock and Conquer"! This expression of high horology is water-resistant to 30 meters. The Golden Bridge Tourbillon will be produced in 33 Unique Pieces only; 16 in red gold, 11 in white gold and 6 in Platinum.

Corum’s endeavour is to reposition the brand in the luxury segment and restore its historical legitimacy. To that end, the company is refocusing its Admiral’s Cup, Golden Bridge and Romulus collections with a balance in the middle of creativity and property that achieves international coherence of the product’s brand image, as well as creating a contemporary strategy for its movements. “We intend to propose movements specially developed for each of the four pillars upon which our product offering is now based,” Corum’s General Manager Antonio Calce said in a media release. “Each pillar will have a supplier whose profile corresponds to the exact complexion of the particular collection.” To coincide with this new strategy, Corum is along with rebuilding its distribution labyrinth by reducing the points of sale globally, appointing regional managers and strengthening its relationships with distributors. Corum recently exhibited its Admiral’s Cup Challenge 44 chronograph from the new Admiral’s Cup collection, which has already been designed with this consistent approach in mind, from Dec. 7-9 in Paris. The occasion was the first edition of “Belles Montres” at the Salon International de l’Horlogerie de celebrity in the Carrousel du Louvre, and the first time the FHH introduced its mission and activities in Paris through an performance titled “The Chronograph, an Expression of Our contemporary Times.”
