Description:
The Corum brand was officially founded in 1955 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, thanks to the vision of Gaston Ries, known for his meticulous attention to detail, and his nephew René Bannwart, more attuned to aesthetics.
“The key to perfect time” became the brand’s original motto, as well as its logo and graphic symbol—a vertical key—that decorates many of its dials.
From the very beginning, Corum distinguished itself for its creativity and boldness, giving life to original timepieces unique in style and character.
Presented here is a refined pendant watch crafted in 18k yellow gold, standing out for its elegant and sophisticated design, characteristic of jewellery creations from the 1970s. The gently curved rectangular case is enhanced by two lateral inserts in lapis lazuli, creating a striking contrast with the warm hue of gold.
The dial is made of iridescent white mother-of-pearl, a material that radiates light and shimmering reflections, highlighting the simplicity of the delicate gold hands. Framing the composition, a precious row of brilliant-cut diamonds is set along the upper and lower edges of the case, adding brilliance and luxury to the overall design.
A particularly charming detail is the crown set with a blue cabochon, perfectly matched with the lapis lazuli—an elegant demonstration of the aesthetic care and chromatic harmony behind this creation. The diamond-set chain attachment transforms this piece into more than just a timekeeper: it is a true jewel to be worn around the neck.
