History

Corum was founded in 1955 in La Chaux‑de‑Fonds by René Bannwart and his uncle Gaston Ries, who chose the name from the Latin “quorum” to signify decision‑making power .  The first Corum watches appeared in 1956, and in 1966 René’s son Jean‑René joined the firm, steering it toward avant‑garde designs .  From the beginning, Corum distinguished itself by producing distinctive watches that combined technical ingenuity with visual flair.  Notable early models include the Golden Tube of 1957, which used a sliding gold case , and the Chinese Hat of 1958.  The brand also gained attention with the first Admiral’s Cup watch in 1960, featuring a square case and engraved sailboat .

Over the following decades Corum continued to innovate.  The Coin Watch of 1964 placed a movement inside a hollowed‑out $20 gold coin .  In 1980 Corum introduced the Golden Bridge, a watch whose baguette‑shaped movement was suspended within a transparent case, showcasing its hand‑engraved bridges .  The Admiral’s Cup was redesigned in 1983 with a dodecagonal bezel and nautical pennant hour markers .  These and other creations have given Corum a reputation for originality and have secured its place among independent Swiss watchmakers.
