5 Of The Most Innovative Wristwatches Ever Made – Reprise

Now, please don’t take this title the wrong way: this list is not definitive. Which is why it is not entitled “The 5 Most Innovative Wristwatches Ever Made.” This list could have encompassed 15 or even 20 innovative wristwatches! And there are surely differing opinions. However, for Elizabeth Doerr, these five timepieces encompass comprehensive parts of what is great about the modern world of wristwatches.

Corum Bubble Vintage

Why I Bought It: The Corum Bubble Vintage (Archive)

Ian has a fairly narrow frame of reference when it comes to buying watches for himself: his taste runs to independents, in-house movements, and superlative hand-finishing. So why on earth is he typing about the Corum Bubble, which is from a big (for him) brand and outfitted with an ETA 2892 movement with an industrial finish? Here he explains why.

Corum Bubble 47 Central Tourbillon (AKA ‘Bubble Swoosh’): More Visibility For The Whirlwind

Since the model’s launch earlier in 2018, Sabine has a new favorite Bubble: the Bubble 47 Central Tourbillon, also christened the Bubble Swoosh. As the name implies, it is the first Bubble to feature a centrally placed tourbillon.

Corum Hobo Coin Watch

Corum Hobo Coin Watch: Gothic Rock And Roll

Corum re-introduces its classic Coin Watch with a twist: the Hobo Coin comprises the concept of vintage hobo coins and unique engraving to resurrect a nineteenth-century art form and bring it forward to the twenty-first century.

Ian Paice with his Corum Paiste Bubble

Keeping Time With Deep Purple’s Ian Paice, Corum, And Paiste Cymbals (Archive)

The pounding of the drum backbeat and tick-tick-ticking of the mechanical watch form the background of my life, day in and day out. But what do these two fields concretely have in common?

Corum Golden Bridge Ronde in red gold

Get Ready For Amazing: Corum’s Golden Bridge Ronde

At Baselworld 2016, Corum presented the Golden Bridge Ronde designed by Italian jewelry designer Dino Modolo. Modolo was influenced by San Francisco’s Golden Gate: the suspension bridge’s tall towers, cables, crisscrossed railings, and rivets are immediately recognizable in the new version of the classic’s case.

5 Of The Most Innovative Wristwatches Ever Made

Now, please don’t take this title the wrong way: this list is not definitive.
