Baselworld 2012: Corum
The 2012 collection of Corum is mainly focussed on the Admiral's Cup
with new complications joining the line. Good news for me, I like it.
Honestly,
I'm quite impressed by the new strategy of the brand: prices are more
realistic and they start to take advantage of the good asset brought by
the Admiral's Cup case. This case seems to be the Royak Oak of Corum if
you see what I mean.
Last year, I liked the Admiral's Cup small
second with caliber ETA2895: I found it was a worthy and affordable way
to enter Corum collection. In 2012, new Admiral's Cup line is broadening
with an impressive range of complication:
- a Tourbillon with micro-rotor
- an annual calendar
- a chronograph
- a mystery moon for the ladies
Let's start with the Tourbillon which is my fav novelty.
This Admiral's Cup Tourbillon
contains all what makes the Admiral Cup so special: the nautical
pennants indexes, the twelve-sided bezel, the crown protector, the
frange... if the small second watch was a bit unbalanced, it is not the
case with the Tourbillon: the caliber is perfect for the case diameter
(42mm) and so the Tourbillon bridge (which shape is inspired by the
pennants) is very well located. It is hollowed in order to give a wide
view on the 12mm tourbillon carriage. A real joy for our eyes.
Surprisingly, the addition of the Tourbillon works very well in the context of this watch inspired by the nautical sports.
