Three Timepieces, Two Nations, One Firm
First released in 1964, the Coil from Corum is now available in a larger 43mm case.
The dial of the first is an authentic U.S. Dollar coin, made from sterling silver. Two blued steel hands preside over the emblematic eagle of the United States of America, their hue exactly matching that of the Corum name, stencilled on the underside of the crystal, and the color of the alligator strap.
The second uses a genuine "Double Eagle" coin, made from 22kt yellow gold. Black hands and a black strap add a touch of contrast. To ensure the beauty of this rare timepiece shines out unimpeded, Corum has chosen to not feature its name on the dial thus making this Coin even more of a rarity.
The third houses a coin commemorating the anniversary of the creation of the State of Israel minted in 1973 for the 25th anniversary of the Israeli Declaration of Independence proclaimed by David Ben-Gurion on May 14, 1948. The commemorative Coin is intentionally sober, featuring a silver case encircling the coin over which two slim, black hands sweep. The same color has been used for the alligator strap.
"This case structure allows us to use coins from currencies the world over and makes all sorts of custom options possible," concludes Corum's CEO Jérôme Biard. "The three new Coin Watches also demonstrate that our Heritage collection is very much alive. Our heritage is not immutable; rather, it is living, creative, and constantly changing. First designed in 1964, these watches remain very much up-to-date and continue to fuel the enthusiasm of our designers and collectors alike."
All three use the Swiss automatic Corum caliber CO 082 with 21 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 42 hours. Personalized rotor.
Thanks.
