Admiral
The Admiral collection is Corum's most famous and enduring range. Originally introduced in 1960, the collection became iconic thanks to its distinctive nautical pennant hour markers inspired by international maritime racing flags.
Today, Admiral watches are available in a variety of sizes and complications, combining luxury sports watch aesthetics with Swiss automatic movements and contemporary finishing. The collection remains one of the most recognisable luxury sports watch ranges in Swiss watchmaking.
Golden Bridge
The Golden Bridge is one of the most revolutionary watches ever created. Introduced in 1980, it features an extraordinary linear movement suspended across the centre of the case, allowing the entire mechanism to become part of the watch's visual identity.
The Golden Bridge remains a masterpiece of modern horology and a defining symbol of Corum's innovative spirit. Its unique architecture continues to attract collectors who appreciate both mechanical artistry and technical ingenuity.
Bubble
The Bubble collection introduced a completely different side of Corum. Featuring oversized domed sapphire crystals and bold artistic dials, Bubble watches quickly became cult favourites among enthusiasts.
Known for their playful design, strong wrist presence and creative themes, Bubble models showcase Corum's willingness to break away from traditional luxury watchmaking conventions.
Coin Watch
The Coin Watch is one of the most famous creations in the brand's history. First introduced during the 1960s, these watches incorporate genuine gold coins into the case construction, blending numismatic history with Swiss watchmaking expertise.
Over the years, the Coin Watch has become one of the most collectible and recognisable luxury watches ever produced.
Heritage Collections
Corum continues to celebrate its rich history through special editions and heritage-inspired models that honour some of the brand's most important creations while incorporating modern Swiss manufacturing and movement technology.
The Legendary Golden Bridge
Few watches have had a greater impact on modern watch design than the Corum Golden Bridge.
Created around an extraordinary baguette-shaped movement, the Golden Bridge transformed the movement itself into the centrepiece of the watch. Rather than hiding the mechanics behind a dial, Corum placed the movement on full display, creating one of the most technically impressive and visually striking watches ever produced.
More than forty years after its introduction, the Golden Bridge remains one of the most innovative mechanical watches in Swiss horology.
