Corum’s name is derived from the Latin word “quorum,” referring to the minimum number of individuals needed to make a decision, a concept that intrigued the founders. They chose to simplify the term, resulting in the now-famous Corum. Recognizing the market’s appreciation for unique designs, the two founders committed to crafting watches with unconventional shapes and innovative materials. Creativity and daring innovation have been the cornerstone of Corum’s timepieces, as exemplified by the present model. Showcasing a stepped rectangular case in yellow gold, the present timepiece exudes sophistication and glamour. Its elegant contours and warm golden hues complement the watch’s distinctive dial, making it a true work of art on the wrist.

At its center lies a deep blue lapis lazuli center, contrasted by a brilliant field of pavé-set diamonds encircling it. Extremely elegant and comfortable on the wrist, the present Corum is a very interesting and special example of a dress watch, certain to command interest in a room of collectors
