Corum was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland by Gaston Ries and his nephew, René Bannwart in 1955. The name comes from the Latin word “quorum”, which denotes the minimum number of persons required to approve a decision. This particular watch made by the brand presents the classic design of the famous Buckingham model, but adds to the already elegant yellow-gold case a special carved decoration and cabochon. The dial uses the vertical zebra texture of the bird’s feather to contrast with the horizontal striped structure of the edges. Equipped with a manual winding mechanical movement, the case conditions are excellent and all the engravings and numbers on the case back are clearly visible.
