Notes

The Admiral’s Cup Legend 45 Minute Repeater Tourbillon is limited to 15 pieces—this extraordinary timepiece represents one of haute horlogerie’s most distinguished achievements. The present example is executed in Grade 5 titanium, a material deliberately selected for its exceptional acoustic resonance properties—critical for minute repeater mechanisms—and its superior resistance to corrosion in maritime environments.

The minute repeater complication, requiring two full years of development by ten of Corum’s master watchmakers. Caliber CO 010 comprises 331 meticulously hand-finished components with a 100-hour power reserve. The movement features a one-minute tourbillon with silicon escapement, visible through the smoked sapphire dial. Of particular note is the ingeniously integrated minute repeating activation system concealed within the iconic 12-sided polished bezel, eliminating the vulnerable protruding slide of traditional repeaters.

This reference represents an exceedingly rare opportunity to acquire one of contemporary watchmaking’s most significant technical achievements.
