Swiss
watch manufacturer Corum knows how to make a splash—since 1955 they
have produced an array of splendid timepieces that boasts unique case
and dial designs. The Admiral Cup, Golden Bridge and Bubble collections
are highly regarded and contain an array of thrilling watches.
The
dial of this miraculous watch is a twenty-dollar gold coin featuring
intricately engraved American Double Eagle symbol, while the case back
features bas-relief of Lady Liberty profile image. The original coin was
minted from 22K yellow gold while the watch casing was crafted in 18K
yellow gold.
The
watch celebrates an inventive idea at Corum where a super-flat movement
would sit between the two faces of a gold coin. The idea harks back to
1964 when Corum first launched its Gold Coin watch, inspired by the
minting of the twenty-dollar “Double Eagle” gold coin in 1849—the heyday
of America’s gold rush.
Owning a piece of American history, not to mention visionary watchmaking, is possible with this collector’s dream timepiece.
The
yellow gold coin-edged case is 35 mm in diameter, 6 mm in height, and
rests upon a dark brown alligator leather strap with a 18K yellow gold
tang buckle. The push / pull winding crown sports an eye-catching
cabochon and the crystal is composed of scratch-resistant sapphire.
Be
you a numismatic or a lover of haute horlogerie, this Corum Double
Eagle Gold Coin Watch will be a magnificent, unparalleled addition to
your collection.
Standout feature(s): Highly attractive and ingenious watch case design spotlighting memorabilia of American history.
