Notes

Since the company's inception in 1955 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, CO'RUM has taken pride in being a refreshingly difFerent and forward-thinking Swiss watch manufacturer. In January 2000, the company - with its history of beautiful watchmaking and its impressive ofFerings of unique and unusual timepieces - acquired a new owner, Severin Wunderman, who revitalized CORUM's original spark. This respected veteran in the watch industry once more set the family business on course for prosperity in close collaboration with his son, Michael. Together they pursued the conquest of new horizons with the spirit of adventure and distinction that has always been the key to the company's renown. Their vitality has given rise to the brand's invigorating mantra, "Unlock and Conquer."
