Golden Bridge Automatic by Corum.

Admiral’s Cup Legend 38 42 by Corum.

Antonio Calce, CEO of Corum, gives us very interesting information after the major announcement of the new ownership of Corum by the China Haidian Holdings. Mr Calce also talks to us about the main new products of the brand.

In 1977, Vincent Calabrese invented an incredible movement that thanks to Corum and the vision of René Bannwart would become a few years later the iconic Golden Bridge. More than 30 years after the birth of this watch in 1981, Corum’s CEO Antonio Calce  has pushed for the brand and Mr Calabrese to collaborate again. The goal is to not only to tell the story behind this incredible adventure, but also in exchanging new ideas with the current team of Laurent Besse and who knows what could come out!

We were fortunate to have an interview Ben Ainslie who was just named sailor of the year 2012 by the International Sailing Federation on the Corum booth during SalonQP. He was thrilled to receive the new beautiful Admiral’s Cup Legend 42 Tourbillon Micro-rotor watch.

Sometimes some simple complications really do add a little something and when you don’t have to pay a heavy price for it, even better! We liked this “day-night” watch for the simplicity of the idea and the efficiency of the result.
