Details
A Study In Quiet Confidence
Corum has always occupied a unique space in Swiss watchmaking, often prioritizing creative design over mainstream appeal. This piece is a perfect example of their approach to classicism. Instead of relying on complications or bold branding, the watch makes its statement through the use of premium materials. The combination of solid 18K white gold and a clean mother-of-pearl dial results in a dress watch that is both elegant and intentionally understated.
The Beauty Of Simplicity
What makes this watch compelling is its restraint. The mother-of-pearl dial is the centerpiece, offering a subtle, shifting iridescence that requires no extra adornment. The proportions are perfect for a traditional dress watch. It is a reminder that a watch does not need to be loud to have a strong presence. This configuration is timeless, pairing the organic beauty of the dial with the cool tone of white gold for maximum versatility.
An Honest Vintage Timepiece
This watch is in good overall condition. The 18K white gold case presents well, and the mother-of-pearl dial remains clean and effective. As a vintage piece, it shows signs of a life lived, but its core character is fully intact. It is an honest and straightforward example of a classic design. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Timeless Design Choice
This watch is for someone who appreciates nuance and design from a brand that has always carved its own path. Its mechanical movement is a nod to traditional watchmaking, offering the reliability and character that collectors seek. It is a sophisticated choice that works beautifully for formal occasions or for anyone who values quiet, confident style.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
