Traces the history of the iconic Corum Golden Bridge wristwatch, using previously unpublished photography and information punctuated by riveting narrative


Despite its trademark transparency, the Corum Golden Bridge is a wristwatch full of mystery. This new book describes the iconic linear timepiece’s fascinating history including the innovative mechanical invention conceived by a nonconformist autodidact and the difficult technical breakthroughs by two like-minded personalities needed to achieve the dream wristwatch.
