SCUCIVOLO
·Hi All,
I’m new to this forum and it’s dynamics, so I hope I’m not posting this in the wrong thread..
Corum it’s a brand that has always fascinated me, because of its history of controversial designs..
because wearing a Corum says a lot about you!
They’re mostly famous for their Bubble collection, of which I’m a big fan (although I’ve never owned one, unfortunately), and their contemporary Admiral’s Cup (of which I’m not such a big fan.. at all!)
What (IMHO) they should be famous for, is their “golden bridge” movement/cases, as they are a testament to what it can be achieved when your truly free to think outside the box (probably not the best choice of words given the shapes of the golden bridge line XD).
One other piece, of which, I’m the proudest owner, is the Admiral’s Cup Ultra Thin..
It’s a simple 2 hander, limited edition of 500, although it seems that not all of them were made..
Dodecagonal shaped case.. Lacquered cream dial, with nautical flags markers.. semi-flexible lugs.. undoubtedly an unmistakable Corum design!
Powered by the legendary.. Frédéric Piguet Calibre 71
Ultra thin, super robust, super accurate movement from a manufacturer that has powered many iconic watches from many iconic brands including the like of JLC and VC.
As you can tell, I’m deeply, madly in love with it.. and I have been on the hunt for one, from the first moment I’ve read about it (about 3 years ago)..
One day while browsing Chrono24, I came across an AD.. selling this in NOS condition, at a price that was “eye popping”!
Needless to say, I’ve got in touch with the seller, and bought the watch half an hour later!
Sent it to a friend’s friend (Caputo watchmaker) to have it looked at (hence the photo of the dismantled movement).. been a NOS, it needed some lubrification, and it is now running like a treat!
Living the watch collecting dream!!
Have a good weekend, Claudio.
