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 Bubble collection is highly regarded and contains
an array of thrilling watches and desk clocks.
As
part of a highly limited-edition series, this Corum Bubble 47 Revolver
watch is one of only 88 pieces produced. As such, it can be a challenge
to obtain.
Beneath
the domed antireflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal we
encounter a dial like no other. By simply pressing the winding crown
this utterly unique timepiece literally spins into action.
The
design is that of a revolver’s cylinder. Simply push the crown to
activate the spinning and you’ll see that the cylinder stops in a
different random position at the conclusion of each brief spinning
cycle. While there are five empty chambers, the astute observer will
take note of a single exciting diamond-studded round whose position
changes with each activation.
Elegant gold-plated leaf-shaped luminescent hands along with a seconds hand make telling the time a snap.
The
highly scratch-resistant PVD-coated Grade 5 titanium case measures 47
mm in diameter, 20.8 mm in height, and rests upon a fashionable black
rubber strap with a PVD-coated stainless steel tang buckle. Additional
case features include a push / pull winding crown and a 100 m / 10 atm
water resistance.
As
a self-winding automatic timepiece, the Bubble 47 Revolver showcases
the Corum CO 407 caliber, which beats at 28,800 vph, has 34 jewels, and
gives you 42 hours of power. An exhibition sapphire crystal caseback
lets you see this movement in all its glory.
Taken
together, the Corum Bubble 47 Revolver’s gripping design and
limited-edition status make this watch a must-have for any discerning
collection.
