The Corum Bubble Watch - A Fun Way to Tell the Time

The Corum Bubble collection’s very name is suggestive of fun and originality. You cannot help thinking what the creative team at Corum Luxury Watches thought when the idea of designing a watch with a massively domed sapphire crystal dial was first put to them. Artistic vision and innovation followed with an original often outrageous range released to an adoring clientele.

Corum Luxury Swiss watches have a reputation for creating timepieces which are innovative, artistic and highly unusual. The wide and varied portfolio of watch releases by the brand include the Admiral’s Cup, the Romulus, the Golden Bridge and last but certainly not one to be ignored, the Corum Bubble.

Somewhere between a piece of jewelry and a work of art, this is a watch which took the industry by storm, attracting a whole new younger fan base to the brand, it quite simply surpassed anything that preceded its release in terms of visual effect. Still loved by watch collectors and style conscious wearers it is the ultimate wrist candy.

In 2000 under the direction of Severin Wunderman, the Corum Bubble was first unveiled. The watch features an astounding 11mm thick sub-marine hatch sapphire crystal dome which complements and magnifies its brightly colored dials. Available in mini, mid-size and XL sizes with a choice of quartz or automatic movements some with chronograph function, the Bubble collection has something for everyone - unless you require something understated and discreet that is.

Dial choice alone is staggering with a whole spectrum of colors available complimented by diamonds or Mother of Pearl for extra gleam and glamor. Mesh, leather, rubber or a combination of these materials are used to construct the straps which often match the dial color for completely co-ordinated chic.

Discerning watch collectors with an eye for the unusual will appreciate the limited edition models such as the stunning Bubble Privateer. Corum Bubble of the year editions such as the Bubble Casino - 2003, the Dive Bomber - 2004 and the fascinating Bubble Bats - 2005 which were only released in their production years are also unique highly desirable timepieces.

If it is true that the watch you wear says a lot about you, then the Corum Bubble says it louder and perhaps a little more extravagantly than the average wristwatch. Whatever model in the collection you choose, the Corum Bubble makes for a unique fun and funky way to tell the time.
