Press release:

The color of understated elegance, CORUM dresses its new timepieces in black for the Christmas season.

 

Cases, dials, movements; all components wear a sober coating for the most glamorous evenings.

 

Black Ti-Bridge

 



 

 

A pure black experience! The now famous Ti-Bridge comes dressed in black for the festive end-of-year season. In both its movement and case, the Ti-Bridge gives pride of place to titanium, a material known for its lightness and the difficulties involved in machining it. The bridges and plate of the Caliber CO 007 are cut from this ultramodern material. The meticulous finishing on all movements is typified by the upper bridge coated with black PVD and engraved with the “CORUM” brand name. The bridges are satin-finished, while the generously sized barrel features a snailed finish. Equipped with a balance oscillating at the speed of 4 Hz, Caliber CO 007 is endowed with a 72-hour power reserve.

 



 



 

 

Pushing the boundaries of technicality and aesthetics, CORUM developed a unique way to attach the movement to the case with four triangles replacing the casing clamps. The curved tonneau-shaped case made of titanium ensures perfect comfort for the wearer. Entirely coated with black PVD, the dark monochrome watch case gives a contemporary touch to the Black Ti-Bridge.

 



 

 

As a technically exceptional creation, the Black Ti-Bridge will be produced in a Limited Edition of 250 pieces.

SJX, As pplater enquired; Is this a black phase in your life? or is it more likely that the fashionistas have determined that "black is the new black" for 2009? Something similar happened back in the 1930s Great Depression. When I saw you last night at an...
