The 10 Finest Montres Corum Watches Ever
Swiss watchmaker Montres Corum is responsible for creating the finest limited edition watches in the world. Montres Corum raises the bar and sets high standards for every watch design this innovative company creates. The bold, striking watches such as the Admiral’s Cup collection and the Golden Bridge collection are sophisticated and highly sought after. These rare, distinct, and unique watches are well known and finely crafted.
La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland was the Montres Corum birthplace. An uncle, Gaston Ries, and his nephew, Renee Bannwart, set out on a splendid watch-making journey over sixty years ago, in 1955. The very first best-seller the growing company had was a beautiful, hand-crafted watch made out of a $20 gold piece. The $20 gold piece was actually set into the dial of the watch. After that, it was smooth sailing for Montres Corum, better known as Corum.
The “World Premiers” collection was a big hit, the Golden Bridge Collection is well-known and highly sought after. Several watches have been created in commemoration of certain presidents, as well as other historical figures. As recently as 2007, Montres Corum took on a new project and created the World Series of Poker watches. The imaginative, creative, and glamorous watches Montres Corum created led to this leading watch-making company becoming the exclusive watch maker of the World Series of Poker.
