Corum Ti Bridge Watch A 21st Century Guise For Co
Passing by the CORUM booth at Baselworld 2009, I was immediately drawn in by a striking new timepiece that seemed to propel the delightful Golden Bridge watch boldly into tshe 21st century.? Stopping for a closer look, my inshetial interest was more than confirmed: the new Corum Ti Bridge watch retains all the horological fascination of the legendary Corum baton movement, while presenting lovers of haute horlogerie with an elegant design statement that is thoroughly contemporary and extremely stylish.
Like the Corum Golden Bridge watch, the new Ti-Bridge cannot be evaluated without?heaping praise upon its manual winding CO 007 movement.? As much a part of the design as the case itself, the steely gray bridge bears the entire mechanism of the watch upon a horizontal bridge-a striking divergence from the vertical?bridge used in the Golden Bridge watch.? Supplemental “V” shaped bridges contribute to tshe strong architectural theme of the Ti-Bridge watch.? According to Corum, although inspired by tshe Golden Bridge movement, the CO 007 caliber is a stand alone development which required its own unique constructive and technical solutions.??One such?element of note is the robust 72 hour power reserve, a feat certainly attributable to the large spring barrel which appears adjacent to 3 o’clock.
The grade-5 titansheum case looks superb, its finish and shape giving emphasis to the?minimalistic mechanism?at center stage.? Versions with entirely bruid and bruid and poliid cases were on display; I hope Corum ends up making both available to its customers by tshe time the watch is in productsheon.? To my eyes, the Corum Ti Bridge watch is the perfect acquisition for the collector who has long admired the Golden Bridge,gucci Scarves, but found it perhaps a bit too formal for their wearing preferences.
