Serpent Brilliance



Corum’s Golden Bridge replica watches on sale features a stunning hand-engraved serpent micro-sculpture

Ahead of the upcoming Chinese New Year (the Year of the Snake, which begins on January 29, 2025), Corum has announced a stunning, one-of-a-kind edition of its iconic Golden Bridge Serpent.

This unique Golden Bridge Serpent watch features a hand-engraved and hand-painted golden serpent wrapped around the watch’s linear movement, surrounded by a three-dimensional micro-sculpture of lush foliage. The 18k rose gold tonneau case with sapphire crystal front, sides and back perfectly complements the overall look.

Heritage in Gold

First launched in 1977, the Corum Golden Bridge buying replica watch revolutionized watchmaking with its groundbreaking in-line movement, conceived by renowned independent watchmaker Vincent Calabrese.

Corum recognized the potential of this groundbreaking design and patented the rectangular movement, mounted in a straight line and housed in a highly transparent tonneau case to showcase its intricate mechanics.

Over the decades, the Golden Bridge has evolved from its manual-winding origins to incorporate new complications and materials while retaining its iconic architecture.

Important milestones include the launch of the Golden Bridge Tourbillon in 2010, featuring the world’s smallest tourbillon with silicon escapement, and the Golden Bridge Automatic in 2011, which introduced a linear rotor for easier wear. The collection evolved further in 2016 with the launch of the Golden Bridge Round in a round case, and the futuristic Golden Bridge Meteor in 2017.

Along the way, Corum has infused the Golden Bridge with high-tech materials such as titanium and carbon fiber, as well as artistic versions such as the Golden Bridge Dragon, which showcases delicate hand-engraving. Breitling Perpetual Calendar 140th Anniversary

Throughout its evolution, the Golden Bridge has always embodied Corum’s commitment to haute horlogerie innovation and craftsmanship.

The Art of the Serpentine

Similar to the Golden Bridge Dragon a decade ago, Corum once again uses the Golden Bridge’s linear movement as a canvas for artistic expression.

This time, a meticulous 18K gold snake micro-carving, complete with hand-engraved scales, snakes around the mechanism. The snake is flanked by three-dimensional images of leaves and vines, also in 18K gold. Both the reptiles and leaves are hand-painted to create a vivid jungle-style scene. Patek Philippe replica

Corum says it took nearly a hundred hours of painstaking work to bring this stunning piece to life – from design and micro-carving to micro-engraving and micro-hand-painting.

A masterclass in performance

The snake wraps around the Calibre CO 113, whose bridges and plates are made of 18K gold. The balance wheel at 12 o’clock oscillates at a frequency of 4Hz, while the manually wound single barrel (operated via the unique 6 o’clock crown) provides a 40-hour power reserve.

Above the mechanism, gilded, faceted, skeletonized baton hands indicate the hours and minutes, although in such a delicate masterpiece, timekeeping plays only a secondary role.

The 34mm x 51mm 5N rose gold case features four glare-proof sapphire crystals on the front, back and sides, allowing light to filter in from every angle and highlight the sculptural scene.
