Now, that is a surprise!
I feel curious about this watch.
An original movement and a nice case ( I was thinking of the Monaco V 4 ) and a correct price.
Now, 2d step, I will have to see it in the flesh ,and to do the Wrist Test .
As you, SJX, Corum was, for me, the Golden Bridge, and I never paid attention to the other watches, but here, I'm curious...
Thanks for this very interesting post,
Best.

A surprising watch from Corum
Corum is a fairly small company, with annual revenues of about US$100 million, about the same size as Blancpain and Vacheron Constantin. But Corum enjoys a strong level of recognition, even amongst average consumers, thanks to its characteristic products....
Press release and technical diagrams of Ti-Bridge
Two versions of the Ti-Bridge will be produced. One will be in titanium with black PVD coating in a limited edition of 150 pieces. Retail price in Singapore is S$25,145, equivalent to about US$17,400. No images of the PVD version are available yet. The ot...
Not so sure about the styling, but the movement
Is definitely interesting. All the wheels in line, I'd like to see it in the flesh.
More than just a hint of Richard Mille, if you ask me...
... it may be more square than the RM case (and I agree that's an improvement over it) but the overall form of the bezel, the dot indices ring inside the bezel, and especially the way the sides taper into lug-like ends are pure RM. Richard Mille definitel...
My only qualm
The bridge itself is not as highly decorated as before. Guess it does not go with the mechanical/industrial look. Been think about the bridge some time now, however, this splits my resolve. Very good price indeed ! Thansk for sharing and very much ooking ...
Agree with GMH.
For me there are not must have brands. There are brands that i respect more than others and for what they are so when i see a watch from those brands that i like i would buy it. alepos
just got goldie bridge
just collected my rose gold golden bridge....still loving it, and mesmerized by by the baguette movement. also have a admirals cup 48mm tide. my feelings that Corum is a brand that has got no cohesive branding and product placements, despite some "heritag...
Congrats!
I like the Tides very much as well, but only in the earlier 40-42mm case. The 48mm is too large for me. Nevertheless it's a one of a kind complication and perfect for a nautical themed watch. - SJX
Your is art
An artistic interpretation. This is well....... state of the art. Still very much luv the goldie. The oogling was too much to bare, still having nightmares
Quite interesting...
The first impression I got was that the case seemed to resemble a Cartier Santos so immediately, I looked for the size and found that it seems to be just right. I look forward to seeing this in the metal, sounds like the Mrs. could finally have her versio...
Oh gosh. That Golden Bridge looks good.
A friend just asked me to look into that as well. I may just have to do that.
Terminator RM..."The Rise of the Designers"
One of the best results of Richard's forensic footprints left in the trail of great designs ...a beautiful watch, looks much better than the rectangular Richard Milles's and with a TRUE purpose..it seems to reinforce the delicate Golden Bridge (seems to)....
Wow..That is a VERY good price!
It will eat into those who bought the original Golden Bridges....sigh. This is almost an "improvement" on Vincent's original drawings and layouts. It looks much more robust...with more lateral and horizontal supports.
great value
yupe...i just got my goldie in PG. but if retail sgd23k, after discount under sgd20k? i will take another one.
Intriguing mechanics...
...and attractive in its own right, but I can't tell time with the Ti-Bridge so that lessens my enthusiasm a bit! Corum hasn't yet made a watch that I feel drawn to. My cousin-in-law visited last summer and was in the market for a Corum Admiral's Cup, so ...
Much DNA from other brands, but a really stunning creation
One of the best Corum pieces I have seen over the years. But why sooooooo large? Thanks for posting SJX, Geo
You're right about that
I am so old traditionel some times when it comes to case sizes. But the watch is so interesting that I really want to try it. Hope to a wristshot here. Geo
Reminds me a bit of the HW Tourbliion Glissiere
Even though the HWRT is signifigantly more complex, something about the horizontally laid-out movement and the gray case does it. I am intrigued by the design, but I'd want to see it live, or at least pictures of it live, I always have trouble gauging siz...
A surprise indeed ....
I have always found the Golden Bridge too delicate . Now with the struts , its given a whole new character . Very architectural ! George
