Corum Ti-Bridge Tourbillon Black

For the holidays, Corum dresses the Ti-Bridge Tourbillon in a stealthy coat of satin and black PVD. The flange, plate and bridges are crafted from ARCAP, a copper-nickle alloy that is non-magnetic and highly corrosion-resistant, and these components are coated with black ruthenium. Set off against this black background is the flying tourbillon's gray key, emblematic of the Corum brand. The new baguette movement is suspended by two ARCAP "cross-bars" (Corum's term), while the escapement - lacking a top bridge - appears to float above the movement. The diminutive movement is powered by twin barrels and runs in 21 jewels at 21,600 vph with a power reserve of 72 hours. The case measures an imposing 42.5 x 41.5mm and offers water resistance to 50 meters. The Ti-Bridge Tourbillon Black lists at $55,000 and is limited to 83 pieces.
