Vintage Corum Watches: The Art of Difference in La Chaux-de-Fonds

Founded in 1955, Corum has established itself as the most creative manufacture in Switzerland. Far from the beaten path, the brand has made history with revolutionary concepts: transforming a coin into a timepiece or housing a baguette movement in a transparent case. Choosing a pre-owned Corum is to assert a taste for originality and conceptual haute horlogerie.

Corum Vintage & Pre-Owned: The Masterpieces

Corum's heritage is based on iconic designs unlike any other manufacture:

Vintage Corum Coin Watch — Crafted from an authentic gold coin. The 20 dollars Double Eagle model is the most sought-after, integrating an ultra-thin movement between the two sides of the coin.
Corum Ingot of the era — A case machined from a genuine 24-carat gold ingot (purity 999.9/1000) certified by Credit Suisse or UBS. A symbol of absolute prestige.
Vintage Corum Admiral's Cup — Recognizable by its dodecagonal case and colorful nautical flags serving as indices. The sporty-chic elegance of the 1980s and 1990s.
Corum Golden Bridge — A technical masterpiece featuring a linear (baguette) movement floating in the center of a transparent sapphire case.
Corum Romvlvs — A neo-classical design where Roman numerals are engraved directly on the bezel, in steel or 18-carat gold.

The Excellence of Corum for Men and Women

The vintage Corum men's watches captivate collectors seeking a strong identity, while the pre-owned Corum women's watches are available in refined Jewelry formats. Whether it's a small Coin Watch or a gem-set Romvlvs, each piece is a work of watchmaking art. These watches traverse decades without aging, carried by an aesthetic that transcends fleeting fashions.

Frequently Asked Questions — Vintage Corum Watches

Is the gold in an Ingot watch truly pure?
Yes, the case is machined from a 24-carat gold ingot (pure gold). This is a rare feature in watchmaking, where 18-carat gold (75% gold) is generally used for greater hardness. Here, the raw ingot appearance is favored.

Can the strap of a Coin Watch be changed?
Absolutely. Although often presented on leather, these watches can accommodate alligator or lizard straps that highlight their historical and luxurious aspect. We offer custom straps adapted to these specific lug widths.

How rare is a vintage Golden Bridge?
It is a high watchmaking piece produced in limited quantities. Its linear movement is one of the most complex to maintain and adjust, making it an extremely coveted model among discerning collectors.

Corum: The Creative Audacity of La Chaux-de-Fonds

Since its founding in 1955, Corum has established itself as the maverick of Swiss watchmaking. Under the leadership of René Bannwart, the manufacture disrupted conventions by using unprecedented materials (peacock feathers, meteorites) and creating designs that transcend the simple display of time. It is the brand for those who seek the exceptional.

The Corum Vintage Collections in Detail

Coin Watch: "Time in Money"

Concept: An authentic gold coin (often the $20 Double Eagle) cut in half to house an ultra-thin movement.
Heritage: Worn by six American presidents, it is the ultimate symbol of discreet power and numismatic elegance.

Ingot Watch: Pure Gold on the Wrist

The Corum Ingot is unique: its case is a 24-carat gold ingot (999.9/1000) certified by the most prestigious refiners like Credit Suisse or UBS. Purer than standard 18-carat gold, it offers unparalleled brilliance and prestige.

Golden Bridge: The Baguette Movement

A masterpiece by Vincent Calabrese launched in 1980, the Golden Bridge features a linear movement where all components are aligned on a single axis. Suspended in a sapphire case, it seems to float on the wrist.

Admiral's Cup: The Nautical Icon

Design: An immediately recognizable dodecagonal case (12 sides).
Index: 12 colorful nautical flags representing the international maritime signal code.

The Value of the Exceptional

Acquiring a vintage Corum guarantees a form of exclusivity: the manufacture has never produced "generic" models. Pieces like the Coin Watch or the Ingot maintain a floor value secured by the weight of solid gold.

Expertise and Guarantee Atelier Victor

The inspection of vintage Corum watches requires specific expertise on the purity of metals and the finesse of calibers (Piguet, ETA). At Atelier Victor, we verify the authenticity of coin pieces and the precision of baguette movements. Each watch is serviced by our expert watchmakers and benefits from a one-year mechanical warranty as well as a lifetime authenticity guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions — Vintage Corum Watches

Are the coins in the Coin Watch real?

Yes, Corum exclusively uses genuine gold or silver coins. Each watch therefore has numismatic value and intrinsic precious metal value.

What is the uniqueness of the 24-carat gold of the Ingot?

Unlike 18-carat gold (75% gold), 24-carat gold is pure gold at 99.9%. It is more malleable, which gives the Ingot watch a deep luster and unique density, although more susceptible to micro-scratches.

Can a Golden Bridge be worn daily?

It is a haute horlogerie piece more delicate than steel. However, its modern sapphire construction perfectly protects the baguette movement for wearing on special occasions.
