Corum Romvlvs Chronograph

Swiss brand Corum has always forged its own path. 

In 1966, the company released its Romvlvs collection — a Roman-inspired product family with an instantly recognizable bezel engraved with Roman numerals. While many different iterations of the Romvlvs exist, from basic time-only watches to perpetual calendars and tourbillons, the chronograph iterations are especially well balanced and neat.

This particular Romvlvs Chronograph is a special limited edition of 1,500 pieces. Housed in a 44mm stainless steel case with a black cabochon crown, a Roman numeral-stamped steel bezel, dual ‘doorstop’ pushers, and an unusual beveled sapphire crystal, it features a black dial with applied indices, a lumed ‘sword’ handset, a dual-register chronograph, and a date window at 6:00.

Powering the Romvlvs Chronograph is a chronometer-certified automatic movement, while a stainless steel H-link bracelet with alternating brushed and polished surfaces completes the package. If you’re looking for a funky, left-of-center chronograph with a bit of Italian flair, we’ve got the perfect timepiece for you.

Trust us!

Established in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1955 by Gaston Ries and his nephew René Bannwart, Corum makes unique and innovative timepieces such as the Golden Bridge and the Admiral, designs that put the watches’ movement front and center via innovative, transparent dials.
Perhaps the most well known of Corum’s collections, however, is the Heritage Coin, a design that uses a U.S. gold coin such as a ‘Double Eagle’ as a substitute for a traditional watch case. U.S. Presidents George Bush Sr, Ronald Reagan, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton have all worn this special timepiece — as has artist Andy Warhol.
The Golden Bridge, meanwhile, dates to 1980. Arranged in a linear fashion, the watch’s movement forms both the caliber as well as the bulk of the ‘dial,’ which is visible via a unique sapphire crystal. It’s watches like these that have kept Corum in the mind of collectors searching for unique horological experiences for over 70 years and counting.
