CORUM - Grand Precis

This is a limited edition series that features specially designed movements, which are built on original components. What we have here is a simple but ultimately elegant Corum watch, a true comeback to the most sophisticated watchmaking values. The case of a watch follows pure rounded lines, and embraces plain and easy to read dial. The watch shows only time, in hours, minutes and seconds. It is graced with crisp applied hour-markers, dauphine hands and small seconds at 6 o’clock.

The watch was originally issued in 18-carat gold 100-piece limited edition, and now reissued in two limited series comprising 100 pieces in 18-carat red gold and 50 pieces in 18-carat white gold.



The only detail that distinguishes new series from the original one is the size of the case. The case is slightly larger now, measuring 38.5 mm in diameter, instead of the original 36 millimeters. The hands are enhanced with Super-LumiNova, while fine vertical and horizontal lines serve as elegant points of reference, just like on the original model.



Inside of the case beats hand-wound CO162 movement built from original components found among the company’s store of historical parts. The movement offers 36 hours of power reserve and has an oversized balance wheel, which guarantees superior precision and reliability. Due to this feature, the watch was dubbed “Grand Précis” in 1957. The beautiful movement is satin-finished and visible through the sapphire crystal case-back.

Both versions of this watch are water resistant to 30 meters and mounted on a black crocodile leather strap.
