Corum Admiral’s Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon 45The Corum Admiral’s Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon 45 50th Anniversary edition of the one of the most attractive models in Corum’s whole range of men’s watches successfully packs a tourbillon escapement and a minute repeater complications in a 45 mm 18-carat red gold case without making it look like a Big Mac on your wrist.Okay, at 45 mm in diameter (without the crown and lugs) and, at first glance, more than 15 mm in height, the watch is huge. However, with its hand-wound CO 010 caliber measuring only 32 mm in diameter and 5.35 in height, it seems that the watch is actually huge by choice like a body builder or a USMC sergeant.What is really interesting about this watch, it is its minute repeater winding mechanism.In order to protect the movement from occasional damage, Corum’s engineers decided to hide the winding crown in its rotating bezel. In order to wind the mechanism, you will have to turn the bezel 27 degrees clockwise.Of course, there is price: the watch’s depth rating is now limited at humble 30 meters, which is not really impressive for a nautical-themed timepiece.According to the company, the Corum Admiral’s Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon 45 total production will be limited at only 10 units for the whole year 2010. Now, try to guess its price.

Corum is well known for their uniquely designed watches and for their Admiral's Cup collection. During the 2009 Baselworld, they have once again presented an amazing timepiece that is made with complexity. This timepiece is called as the Corum Ti Bridge Watch.Corum has recently presented their Golden Bridge Watch and it looks like it's their inspiration for this new Corum Ti Bridge Watch. Like the Golden Bridge, the movement on this new timepiece is also packed in a linear bridge but in a horizontal manner instead of vertical found in the Golden Bridge watch. This movement is housed in a grade 5 titanium rectangular case with a skeleton dial which allows the wearer to partly see the amazing movement. This bridge is also supported by 4 V-shaped bridges for stability and to match the architectural theme. The time on this watch is adjustable through the titanium crown on the right hand side of the case. Like the other luxury timepieces, this timepiece is also finished with a black alligator leather strap.
