Corum Admiral's Cup Legend 46 Minute Repeater Acoustica
Limited Edition of 10 Pieces
A world's first, this Corum is equipped with four gongs and four hammers, simultaneously striking in pairs. For the first time in watchmaking history, two gongs instead of one simultaneously strike the gongs on demand, thus generating not a note, but instead a chord.
TThe two lowest-pitched gongs C (do) for the hours and E (mi) for the minutes have been placed on the back of the movement, while the highest-pitched ones G (sol) for the hours and C (Do) one octave up from middle C for the minutes appear on the upper side.
An additional touch of technical refinement is lent by a device designed to guarantee the model's water resistance at 30 meters: the mechanism, which has its own power reserve thanks to a dedicated barrel, is activated neither by a pusher, nor by a sliding bolt, but instead by pivoting the bezel by 27°. By way of example, at 3.35 am, the watch will strike three C-G chords for the hours, twice with a combination of the chords for the quarters, and five E-C chords for the minutes. Such a device is not only melodious, but also distinctly more audible than that of an ordinary minute repeater, since two gongs on either side of the watch resonate simultaneously at each strike.
The case, in titanium or in 18kt rose gold or 18kt white gold with diamonds, measures 46mm. It has double sapphire crystals and is water resistant to 30 meters.
Movement is the Swiss hand-wind Corum in-house caliber CO102 with minute repeater and power reserve complications. It has a power reserve of 100 hours. The bridges and mainplate are satin-brushed, circular-grained and adorned with Cotes de Geneva finishing.
