Corum Bubble Big Bubble Stop WatchThis year ushers in some interesting timepieces, including the new Corum Bubble Big Bubble Stop Watch. The watch cries out to stop violence, drugs and more, and is the result of the brand’s contest held in mid 2016, enabling participants to customize their own Bubble watch.
The Corum Bubble Big Bubble Stop,with a genuine reflective dial, is being made in a series of 88 pieces instead of as a single unique piece as originally intended. “Thanks to the public’s involvement, Corum collected more ideas in the space of a few weeks than through any other means,” explains Davide Traxler, Corum CEO. “It gave us a clear and immediate idea of the creative direction that our collectors wished for us to take with the Bubble. Their daring unleashed our inner talents, which knew no bounds.”
Based on a design suggested by one of the brand’s followers, the new watch features a dial from the same reflective material as authentic Swiss traffic signs. Its honeycomb surface also recalls the first limited editions in 2015, which have now all sold out. Its high-tech strap adopts the same spirit. There are three sizes being offered: 42 mm, 47 mm or 52 mm all in titanium case with the famed domed sapphire crystal. Finally, the Bubble Stop features a sapphire case back through which the CO403 movement can be admired,
