In the world of luxury timepieces, where innovation meets tradition, Corum stands as a beacon of creativity and sophistication. This Swiss watchmaker has consistently pushed the boundaries of watchmaking, and their latest creation, the one-of-a-kind Golden Bridge Dragon Round 43 Masterpiece, is a prime example.
At the heart of the Golden Bridge Dragon lies its most striking feature: a beautifully sculpted 18-karat gold dragon. This intricate dragon, inspired by East Asian culture, overlooks the mesmerizing in-line baguette movement, which is the hallmark of the Golden Bridge collection.
What sets the Golden Bridge Dragon apart is its unparalleled level of customization. Corum offers collectors the opportunity to personalize their timepiece by selecting from an exclusive range of Pantone™ colors for the gold dragon. Whether galvanized for a lustrous sheen or hand-painted for a realistic appearance, each Golden Bridge Dragon becomes a unique expression of its owner’s taste and style.
The creation of the Golden Bridge Dragon Masterpiece is a meticulous process that begins with casting, where a mold of the dragon serves as the canvas for the infusion of gold. Each piece is then carefully retouched by hand, ensuring impeccable quality and attention to detail. From polishing to setting and coloring, every stage of production reflects Corum’s dedication to achieving perfection in both form and finish.
But the true magic of the Golden Bridge Dragon lies in its seamless integration of artistry and timekeeping. The watch maintains optimal functionality, with a delicate balance between the movement, hands, and sapphire components. The Golden Bridge Round 43 watch is powered by the CO-113 hand-wound mechanical movement with 190 meticulously finished parts. The bridges and plates of the inline movement are made of 18-karat gold, and the watch beats at 4Hz for ultimate precison. It offers 40 hours of power reserve.
So that the dragon stands out even more, Corum crafts this watch in 18-karat white gold and sets the case and bezel in dimaonds. The hand-stitched strap is finished in a golden hue to match the dragon. The result of mechanics and art is a harmonious fusion of beauty and precision. Making it even better is the fact that customers can opt to have a dragon in a color of his or her choice – selected from almost limitless possibilities.
Make no mistake, this is not the first Dragon watch this brand has created, and doubtless, it won’t be the last. Not too long ago, it unveiled its “Year of the Dragon” Bubble watches, and prior to that it gave us our first taste of the customizable dragon. Thanks to the dramatic Golden Bridge architecture, it is the perfect canvas for artistic watches – and art and sculpture are things Corum is a master at. The new one-of-a-kind timepiece not only redefines luxury watch customization but also serves as a symbol of artistic expression and cultural fusion.
