Foversta offers an exclusive glimpse into a Corum cocktail event at the Gérard Séné Boutique in Paris, showcasing a limited edition Ti-Bridge Power Reserve. This post provides a hands-on perspective of the watch's unique dark aesthetic and challenging legibility, alongside a tour of the bespoke tailor's intriguing establishment.
A few hours ago, I attended a cocktail organized by Corum and Gérard Séné at the Séné boutique located rue Danielle Casanova. The purpose of this cocktail was to present a LE of the Corum Ti-Bridge Power Reserve made in partnership with Gérard Séné, the famous French taylor and shoemaker.
The watch is a dark version of the Ti-Bridge with a glass whose colour is close to the strap one (deep velvet). 10 pieces will be produced.
I can tell you that the watch is very difficult to shoot due to the shape of the glass and the low contrast between the hands and the other parts of the dial.
If legibility is the first feature you look for... forget it!
If you look for an intriguing watch with an all-black atmosphere, why not? The shape of the case is in my point of view quite interesting for this style of decoration.

On the wrist:
I took the opportunity to shoot some pictures of the boutique, this is a place to visit if you are fan of slightly off-the-wall clothes. Gérard Séné created a lot of suits for French artists and stars.

The watch inside its display:
I love these shoes! But I will never be able to wear them!
A great use of galuchat:
Some leather goods are also available:

Richard is working hard to shoot this very tricky watch:
Of course, some guests were wearing their Corum!
It was a nice cocktail... with the pleasure to meet friends!
Thanks a lot to the Gérard Séné and Corum team for the organization.
