• Admiral’s Cup Tourbillon 48 (1)

The carriage of the tourbillon, held by a horizontal bridge, bears the CORUM key symbol. Placed at 6 o’clock, this signature touch echoes the two other openings cut out in the plate at 12 and 3 o’clock respectively, and which partially reveal the inside of the movement. Like the other openings on the back of the caliber, they provide glimpses of the gear trains and other parts that are PVD-coated.
The bridges and mainplate are crafted in red-colored 5N 18-carat solid gold. All parts are treated to a high-end hand-crafted finish. Beveled and drawn out with a file, their surfaces are satin-brushed or engraved with a vertical Côtes de Genève motif, before being clad in their black PVD coating. Endowed with a 90-hour power reserve supplied by a single barrel, this caliber beats at a speed of 21,600 vibrations per hour.

• Admiral’s Cup Challenge 44 Split-Seconds (2)

The CO-986 contains a 13 ¼’’’ movement. Thanks to its split-second function, this 31-jewel chronograph caliber with a balance oscillating at 28,800 vibrations per hour enables measurement of several split times. The black lacquered dial is adorned with distinctive nautical pennants around the flange. The red-rimmed chevron-style hour-markers are filled with a luminescent substance. The bezel is made of carbon, as are the three lever-shaped pushers that activate the functions of this chronograph: the two traditional pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock, centered on the lugs, and the one controlling the red lacquered split-second hand, at 8:30.

• Admiral’s Cup Leap Second 48 (3)

Based on the Admiral’s Cup design with its twelve-sided bezel and sapphire crystal,CORUM now offers a self-winding split-second chronograph with jumping seconds. Moreover, this timepiece is also fitted with a new pusher-locking system that prevents inadvertent handling of the chronograph functions. Within its case beats the CO-895 movement specially developed by CORUM. Featuring 40 jewels and a frequency of 4 Hz, the chronograph beats to the cadence of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The system includes two barrels, one of which is dedicated to driving the jumping seconds hand. A sports watch to the core, the Admiral’s Cup boasts an extremely readable dial on which the contrasts are further accentuated by the anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal. The flange is painted with 12 nautical pennant corresponding to the figures 1 to 12, as used in the maritime International Signals Code. The jumping seconds hand performs one turn per second and displays the time measured off to within 1/8th of a second, a feat that involved reducing its weight to an absolute minimum.
