Laurent's opinion
I really like this blend of a very historic Golden Bridge and an almost casual design. The blue titanium, the fabric strap, and especially the contrast with the gold baguette movement give it a whole new personality.

Description

The movement as the sole dial

Since its debut in 1980, the Corum Golden Bridge has held a unique place in the history of contemporary watchmaking. Its spectacular, vertically oriented baguette movement does more than simply power the watch: it forms the watch’s architecture and serves as the dial itself.

With this new Golden Bridge Classic CORUM Blue Titanium, Corum returns to the essence of its historic hand-wound model while giving it a much more contemporary look. The gold baguette movement is housed in a Grade 5 titanium case finished in the famous Corum blue.

The Movement as the Sole Dial

Here, no traditional dial obscures the mechanics. The eye is drawn directly to the spectacular CO113 baguette caliber, positioned vertically at the center of the watch.

Its gold-colored finish creates a particularly striking contrast with the blue of the case. The skeletonized leaf-shaped hands, also finished in a gold tone, appear to float around this mechanical construction.

More than forty years after the birth of the Golden Bridge, this architecture remains one of Corum’s most distinctive signatures.

Corum Blue Meets Titanium

The 34 x 51 mm case is crafted from Grade 5 titanium with a Corum Blue PVD finish.

This shade was not chosen at random: it draws its inspiration directly from the historic blue associated with the first Admiral’s Cup watches. Corum thus creates an unexpected link between two of its most iconic collections.

At the same time, the lightness of titanium lends a more contemporary and relaxed feel to a Golden Bridge model historically associated with precious metals.

The CO113 Baguette Caliber

The Golden Bridge Classic is powered by the CO113 caliber, a hand-wound mechanical movement whose linear architecture is the watch’s true signature.

Operating at 4 Hz, or 28,800 vibrations per hour, it features 19 jewels and offers a 40-hour power reserve.

Its exceptionally slim construction—just 5 lines wide—makes the movement appear to be literally suspended in the center of the case.

A More Contemporary Golden Bridge

The blue fabric strap and its Velcro clasp deliberately accentuate the modern character of this version. The contrast with the sophistication of the baguette-shaped movement profoundly transforms the personality of the Golden Bridge.

An original way to honor one of Corum’s most important historical creations while bringing it into a much more contemporary context.
