Corum made its most indelible mark on watchmaking history in 1980 with the introduction of the first Golden Bridge watch, outfitted with the revolutionary in-line, baguette-shaped movement developed in the decade prior by Italian watchmaker Vincent Calabrese. Just over 30 years later, in 2011, the company followed up the manually wound original movement with an automatic version boasting its own clever mechanics. As the Golden Bridge Automatic reaches its 10th anniversary this year, Corum takes it to the next step, installing the movement inside a tonneau-shaped case with expansive sapphire crystals that offer panoramic views of its workings.

Golden Bridge Automatic in black DLC titanium and 18k rose gold

The cases options are either full grade 5 titanium with black DLC treatment, or black DLC-coated titanium with 18k rose-gold details, including the lugs and crown, the latter placed unconventionally at 6 o’clock as in previous Golden Bridge models. The former is limited to 50 pieces, the latter to 150 pieces. Both the full-titanium DLC and bi-metal models are also available in diamond-set versions, limited to 25 and 100 pieces, respectively, for a total of four new references in this anniversary edition. All of the cases, which measure 37.2 mm by 51.8 mm in dimensions, are fitted with a single block of sapphire crystal that wraps around from the front to the back of the watch and thus allows a 360-degree view of the patented Golden Bridge movement inside.
