Horological Meandering

The 2012 collection of Corum is mainly focussed on the Admiral's Cup with new complications joining the line. Good news for me, I like it. Honestly, I'm quite impressed by the new strategy of the brand: prices are more realistic and they start to take adv...  

fX The tourbillion with the multiple guilloche is beautiful. As always the RG looks fantastic on you. I would like to see the SS on you to compare. Nicely priced for a great look. Innovative. Best, Joe

Thanks Joe for your comments! Fx...  

It's like Cinderella, my wish and you provide. I like this one. But I think the RG is yours! Joe

Don't agree with you Aaron. There is something in the lay-out which makes it very different. Fx

I didn't notice at first the absence of markers on the counters, but now that you mention it their non-existence is glaringly obvious! In fact it puts me off the design a bit, just a bit. I could probably live with it though because let's face it - if you... 

I agree that the perfect legibility for a chronograph would rather demand a central minute counter hand than a small subidal. But I think if there is only the latter, it should at least be possible to use a chronograph in a manner it was designed for: to ...  

I will tell you something funny about the chronograph: I often remark some strange details like the cut scale of the Arena Genta chronograph or with the Midnight Tourbillon Chronograph. But here, as any subdial is done the same way, without any specific s... 

each year, and their designs are now much more easy on the eyes IMO. Love the alarm watch too! Cheers, Anthony

Love the dial design the details on it... and the complication as well , what size is the case? Thanks FX. Faisal
