SpotlightGeneva Watch Days 2023: Corum Shines With Its Magnificent Concept Watch

Known for their sturdy sports watches mostly associated with conquering the wild seas, Corum have been creating some of the most resilient timepieces in the business since 1955. While their Admiral range—instantly recognisable, thanks to the 12-sided case and nautical pennants on the dial, or the Golden Bridge collection are probably the most popular among watch enthusiasts; it’s always interesting to observe what the brand launches under their other collections or ‘pillars’ as they call them. For this year’s edition of Geneva Watch Days, the brand have launched an exquisite timekeeper, which pays homage to the glittery night sky and high-precision mechanics. This groundbreaking masterpiece—the Concept Watch, pushes the boundaries of design and technology with its bold and creative execution.

Measuring 39.5mm, the Concept Watch is a perfect fusion of organic shapes and sustainable materials. It comes in a round case, crafted from recycled grade-5 titanium, which is reflective of the brand’s commitment towards the environment and providing sustainable solutions.
