Thanks to the incredibly innovative Golden Bridge in-line movement — meaning the entire caliber is in a single vertical lineup — Corum has a lot of room in its Golden Bridge watches to create elaborate and inspiring motifs. Such is the case with the new Golden Bridge Classic Serpent one-of-a-kind watch. Crafted in 18K 5N rose gold, the tonneau-shaped watch with crown at 6 o’clock features an artfully hand-carved gold serpent that winds its way around the movement from top to bottom of the dial. Surrounding it is a green floral leaf pattern that is airbrushed and miniature hand-painted, like a veritable Garden of Eden. The watch is powered by the hand-wound CO 113 movement with bridges and plates made of 18K gold. The watch is finished with a green alligator leather strap. It’s truly one of a kind.

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.
