  • Corum

    Corum is a Swiss luxury watch brand and was founded in 1955. The most popular watch series is the Admiral’s Cup but Corum has also had success with the coin watch for example. This timepiece was introduced in the 1960s and was famous for its manual wind or quartz movement inside a $20 or a $10  coin. Corum is also respected for world premiers where every year limited editions are sold out soon after they are on the market. Severin Wunderman acquired Corum in 2000. Since the brand 2013 belongs to the China Haidian Group (who also controls the Eterna watch brand).
