One starts to yearn for knowledge about the inner working of mechanical movements or about the century long histories of the manufacturers. One will tend to take excessive amounts of pictures and videos of the fine watches in one's boutique and obsess over every fabulous detail. When these effects take hold, it is recommended that one start a blog. Welcome to ours, the Baily Blog.

« Bell and Ross BR-02 Instrument in the Stratosphere Corum blog press release Admirals Cup Tourbillon 48 »
Cool new high end tourbillon from Corum
by Marco on 28 May, 2008
With its twelve-sided case exuding a definite sense of strength and its sophisticated lines, the Admiral's Cup collection has asserted itself as an icon among sports watches. Alongside the Romvlvs, Golden Bridge and Watchmaking Specialty collections, it is one of the four pillars on which the brand is grounded.
Movement is the manual winding Corum caliber CO-372 with 19 jewels, beating at 21,600 bph. The bridges and bottom plate are coated with black PVD. It has a power reserve of 90 hours.
The case, in 18kt rose gold, measures 48mm. The crown is gold with a vulcanized rubber crown guard. The sapphire crystal has AR-coating. It is water resistant to 30 meters.
The dial features Corum's trademark 12 nautical pennant hour-markers hand engraved on the flange. The hands are gold and the Tourbillon carriage is decorated with the Corum logo. The Tourbillon bridge is inspired by the shape of the boom of a boat.
