At the Basel 2018 exhibition, the CORUM watch Bubble series combines glamorous design and sleek shape with the launch of the first Central Tourbillon watch, which gives the long-established complex features a modern and interesting look. Once launched, it became the pioneer of the Bubble Watchmaking series.
“The tourbillon is designed for pocket watches, which has no other function than the aesthetics on the wrist. Thanks to the magnifying glass effect of the arched mirror of the Bubble watch, the tourbillon shows a fresh and powerful style on the watch. This innovative design opens up the possibility of creating a high-end watch in the Bubble series.”
Corum Watch CEO Jérôme Biard introduces the new Bubble Series Central Tourbillon. This work has three characteristics, making it a unique tourbillon watch in the watch industry. First of all, this Bubble watch is large in size and 47 mm in diameter, providing plenty of space to reveal the charm of the tourbillon. Second, the tourbillon is located in the center of the dial. This design requires a linear construction of the movement and is extremely technically difficult. However, this precision device uses a non-arc frog, and the center tourbillon is unforgettable.
The watch does not have a pointer. The hour and minute scales are placed over the flange and the two triangle marks move between them: the black mark indicates the minute and the other indicates the hour. The tourbillon indicates the second.
Finally, it’s worth mentioning the arched sapphire mirror of the Bubble watch. Many models of the CORUM watch cleverly uses the effect of the central magnifying glass and edge deformation to create a different vision. Nowadays, it is no exception: the top of the arched mirror has a magnifying glass on the tourbillon below it, allowing the viewer to appreciate the details.
The CORUM watch makes full use of this innovative watchmaking design to engrave the brand key logo on the center of the tourbillon and its upper bridge. The fine embossing is the first time. It is worth noting that the CORUM watch is a classic tourbillon type patented in 1801, not a carrousel or a flying tourbillon. The tourbillon is driven by an automatic winding movement with a two-way oscillating weight and two tandem barrels for excellent isochronism and 65-hour power reserve.
The central tourbillon watch follows the maverick, vivid and fun Bubble spirit, which is different from other dinner watches. It is suitable for everyday wear and has a vibration frequency of 28,800 times per hour (4 Hz) with higher precision. The watch is made of titanium to ensure a light weight and durability. Available in three different styles: black and rose gold dial with rubber strap, natural titanium and blue dial with rubber strap or Milan mesh bracelet. Milan’s woven mesh bracelet is also made of grade 5 titanium, which is rare in the watchmaking industry to create a harmonious technical aesthetic. Water-resistant to 100 meters, it is very valuable for the tourbillon watch, giving the Bubble Central Tourbillon watch a sporty urban style and modern temperament.
