A bold fusion of watchmaking and automotive excellence, the Corum “Spirit of Ecstasy” Rolls-Royce stands as one of the most unconventional and forward-thinking designs of the 20th century. Introduced in 1976—long before such cross-industry collaborations became commonplace—it was the first wristwatch ever created under official license from Rolls-Royce, symbolizing a new era of luxury partnerships. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, this remarkable piece transforms the unmistakable front grille of the Rolls-Royce into a wearable sculpture. The vertically fluted façade is crowned by the legendary double "RR" emblem and flanked by an exquisite miniature of the “Spirit of Ecstasy”—not merely an aesthetic flourish, but a functional, sculptural link between case and strap. The result is a watch that pays tribute to craftsmanship in both mechanics and design. This example captures Corum’s daring approach and uncompromising vision, it represents a celebration of two icons: one from the roads, the other from the wrist.
