It seems like a new Bronze Age is on the rise for watchmaking, as watchmakers have been turning more and more to this humble material that all fans of vintage-looking watches will love. At the Baselworld 2016, Zenith introduced the bronze Pilot Type 20 Extra Special, Tudor has recently released the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze, Montblanc introduced bronze into its 1858 Collection, and Maurice Lacroix came up with the beautiful Aikon Bronze. Corum is the latest brand to join the trend. The famous Swiss watchmaker has just unveiled its Admiral AC-One 45 Chronograph Bronze, a unique, vintage-styled timepiece in patinated bronze.
Unlike other watchmaking brands who typically make their watches from raw bronze, which will age and develop a unique patina over time, Corum has developed a fully pre-patinated bronze case. As explained by Corum CEO Jérôme Biard, the brand has used an exclusive treatment that gives the piece a more assertive, aged look.
“A natural patina builds up over time; our idea was to apply the same principle, halting the process before the alloy actually begins to corrode. By using this approach, we allow unique colors to emerge in a process akin to pure artistic creation, with each hand-finished watch displaying unique character. The result verges on being a work of Contemporary Art – and that’s right in keeping with the Corum spirit.”
Corum’s Admiral AC-One 45 Chronograph Bronze has been finished in different shades of brown, while the dial has been specially designed in matching teak. The surface of the dial reveals a vertical cut evocative of that of a historic tall ship’s authentic teak deck – a nod to the Admiral’s collection. It also reveals twelve pennants, the traditional hour markers for this collection, and a pair of broad skeletonized hands.
The Corum Admiral AC-One 45 Chronograph Bronze, reference number A116/03210, is powered by the automatic chronograph caliber CO 116, and endowed with 42 hours of power reserve. The movement beats at a frequency of 28,000 vibrations per hour, and its functions include hour, minute, chronograph, small seconds, and a date. The watch sits on a brown brushed leather strap, and is water resistant to 300 meters. For more information, please visit Corum.ch.
