Horological Meandering

Last Friday together with the help of the HQ of Corum I was able to grasp one special watch (of art) which is part of a with 88 pieces limited series. It’s the Corum Bubble X-Ray which was released this summer. The whole concept fascinates me. The idea be...  

For sure, I'm looking forward to the wristshots! Cheers.

I‘m still waiting to see the GP in real. My AD tries what he can. It seems not to be so easy… And regarding the Corum. It was a case of immediate affection. It’s like with a woman you desire. If you love and want her, don’t hesitate. It could be the one f... 

Now you made me thinking. 🤔😎 Cheers, my friend 🥂

Beautiful and interesting Corums are hard to withstand. 🥂

The bubblewatch is one of the iconics of the watch world. I have been looking for one since I’ve seen one (the poker version) many years ago. It is unforgettable. I recalled the domed crystal may have taken the cues from the Deep Sea prototype which went ... 

thank you for your nice and thoughtful comment. You didn’t buy a Bubble although it fascinates you. Why? And yes, you might seem right with the Deep Sea. The „inner child“ - I really like that. You should satisfy your inner child, dear Cookies. ☺️ Cheers ... 

Back then, it was very early in my collecting days, and I had a false perception that in-house movements were better. And I ended up with the common pieces. They only had the poker piece in store back then, and word was going round from the AD that Corum ... 

“a false perception that in-house movements were better.” LOL. Here we both seem to be in the “same boat”. And regarding the Bubble. Perhaps you should reconsider it again? Best Thomas

Gotta find the right combo for this iconic piece. Which one do u think suits me?=D

There are so many choices. 😃 ...  

Perhaps this one? Or this one? Or this one? You see, it’s not possible to find no one fitting. 😃 🥂 ...  

Wow, you’ve got my taste spot on.

Wise words. Your name reminds me of the stoic and especially of Marc Aurel. I read a fascinating book about him. Was that your intention to make a relationship to the stoics? Or is your avatar name just a coincidence? All the best Thomas

Thank you kindly for a terrific question. Well, when I first read the stoics and what they inspired throughout antiquity, personified so cleanly by, as you know, M Aurelius, they just named things I’d felt but hadn’t the words to say. Beautiful, simple th... 

you are a very educated gentleman and I appreciate your thoughts. Thank you also for your explanation about your avatar painting. I already wondered was it was because it looks so beautiful. All the best Thomas

I always try to do that. All the best Thomas

And I don’t get the „Three Bridges“ out of my head. But even my „mighty“ AD (Bucherer) has problems to get it to its store in Vienna until now… Much marketing, but apparently just a few pieces have been made so far. Or the Austrian market is not interesti... 

Because just 88 pieces were available. 😉 But seriously, the whole concept of the Corum Bubble is based on using the dial as a podium / forum for artistic design. And the concept and of the X-Ray and its implementation is quite fascinating. For the sake of... 

A WIS get’s completely nuts… 🥂🥂🥂

I get nuts over the smallest surprising details too.

I will send some photos later. All the best Thomas ...
