It's a long name, but the newest Corum Admiral Automatic watch owns up. The Admiral collection, a coveted collector's watch geared for the sailing community, goes high-tech and visionary with this new version. The Admiral typically features nautical pennants on its dial in colorful painted beauty. This new version, though, strays from the classic look and materials. For this watch, the brand works with high-tech materials not used for this series before. The case is crafted of lightweight carbon mixed with 18-karat gold glitter. As the carbon case is created, the gold flecks are randomly incorporated, making each case unique. Not only is the case advanced, but also the automatic movement - developed in-house by the brand - is open-worked to give a better view of the flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock. The tourbillon escapement is constantly moving and is designed to compensate for errors in timekeeping due to the e!ects of gravity on the wrist when the watch is in di!erent positions. The hour and minute flange is gold and the nautical pennants are black (instead of in colors) to complete the look. A rubber and synthetic textile strap with genuine gold stitching finishes the high-tech/high-mech timepiece.

Since 1955, Corum established boldness and creativity as its guiding principle, leading it to have the aesthetic acclaim it has today. Founded in arts center, La Chaus-de-Fonds, this Swiss brand borrows from both the virtuosities of this mountain village and the seductiveness of its summits and is shown in even the first of its timepieces.The Chinese Hat debuted in 1958 in an almond shape. It was eye-catching and evocative. The ridged texture of the piece, inspired by straw and bamboo leaves, similarly shows command of craft.Though innovation has spurred Corum to create even more technically advanced timepieces, the arresting artfulness of its watch design remains. A significant piece made in the modern day is the Golden Bridge Stream. Powered by automatic movement and combining cutting-edge micromechanics with monumental architecture, the transparent intricacy of the linear mechanism at the watch's center impresses both the engineer and art enthusiast. The newest of this line includes the Golden Bridge Round Dragon, a fierce and flamboyant piece that can be galvanized in any Pantone color.
