The use of organic materials in watchmaking has long been associated with a sense of individuality, ensuring that no two examples are exactly alike. A perfect marriage of artistry and technical expertise, this Corum creation is a testament to the brand’s ability to push boundaries while maintaining an undeniable sense of elegance. Preserved in remarkable condition, this exceptional piece represents a rare opportunity for collectors who appreciate both horological innovation and timeless beauty.
