Notes

Corum remarkably expeditious rise to fame in 1955 can be attributed to early successes with collections like the Corum Charge d Affaires launched only a year after its founding. These iconic timepieices re-emerges in a slightly larger diameter of 38mm but with the same manual winding mechanical movement found in the original 1956 model. Produced in limited quantity, there will be a total of 150 in 18k rose gold and only 50 pieces in white gold.
