A brief history of Jinqiao in Kunlun
From corn flakes to velcro, some of the most fascinating inventions in the modern world are the result of a happy accident. Therefore, Corum's famous Golden Bridge is also true.
In the 1970s, Vincent Calabrese (pictured below), a young, self-taught watchmaker and repairer, was presented with a Breguet minute repeater, which was badly damaged by a car crash. This movement was conceived - in fact it was accidental.
In those days, the movement required to repair the movement was between 800 and 1000 Swiss francs, and the case required 2000 Swiss francs. "When he quoted the repair fee, he decided to fix the case only," Calabres recalls, working at the ski town of Crans Montana in the Swiss Alps.
“The customer told me, 'No one saw this action anyway, so no need for any repairs!'” said the 70-year-old man. "His words stung my ears, it made me make a clock, where I exercise, not as a star case or design. As we say now, what matters is "inner beauty"! hot replica Richard Mille RM 011 Le Mans Classic Titanium Watch
After that encounter, the Italian-born maverick will be dedicated to creating a sport for the next few years, challenging all preconceived ideas about how to design and design mechanical movements. His idea was to use mechanical devices as the most basic necessities, a rectangular movement with a linear gear train, mounted on a transparent exterior and isolated in space without any visible connections. It is shown as a mechanical art work.
But there are technical challenges. “The first challenge was to avoid the need for two crowns: one to wrap the watch and the other to set the time. Before that, no one found a way to move through the cylindrical axis and the crown to rotate the linear rectangular motion,” he explain. "The special feature of motion then is that it is a rectangular linear motion. This means that each component is lined up. This is a tabulation challenge because all "power" and power will be "exchanged" at one point. All components and all those points are always the same on the same line." wholesale Porsche Design replica watches
Then there is the design issue. “If you connect all the parts in a row, your wrists won’t wear for a long time, so I have to find a way to miniaturize them,” he added.
To say the least, Calabrese's efforts are out of date. But he persisted and finally showed his 45 patents at the 1977 Geneva International Inventor Show. Corum's founder René Bannwart and himself are also creative people who saw the potential of the baguette movement and immediately patented it. Bannwart then worked with Calabrese to further develop the movement. Three years later, it was announced as a Golden Bridge at the 1980 Basel Fair and achieved great success. The picture below shows the version of the watch in the 1980s.
After more than 30 years of development - there are titanium plates, Ti-Bridge, tourbillon plates and automatic models - the Golden Bridge is still the Corum logo and the prototype of modern timepieces. No wonder, when Calabrese recently had another chance to work with Corum, he seized the opportunity. “This reunion is of great significance to me. In my career, I may have achieved a lot of achievements, but Corum and Jinqiao are one of my biggest achievements. When (formerly Corum CEO) Mr. Antonio Calce proposed When I reunited, I immediately said 'yes'!" Ulysse Nardin Complications 719-61/E2 Replica watch price
CORUM GOLDEN BRIDGE AUTOMATIC
Luxury watch manufacturer Corum is the brainchild of Rene Brannwart, a savvy business school student in Geneva who joined the watch giants Patek Philippe and Omega, where he founded the first creative department and launched It is the leading watch model of the brand's treasures. Brannet spent decades studying and honing his skills at Patek Philippe and Omega, and then he and his uncle Gaston Rees founded his own brand. With many years of experience, he works with high-end watchmakers and engineers to match his business background. He and the uncle created the brand, now known as Corum.
Brannet has a close relationship with the term “quorum”, which means only the minimum number of people necessary to participate in discussions and make effective decisions, and decides to name his brand after expression, but the spelling is more simplified. The key brand logos they face up represent many of the mysteries of innovation and life. The Corum brand was launched in 1955. The first watches were released the following year, and their creativity and unique design (such as gold tube, Chinese hat and feather watch) inspired many people.discounted cheap men watches
At the beginning of its inception, Corum created some of the most unique and unique watch designs that the public saw by combining rare themes in watches. Today, Corum is still designing an exceptional watch while still maintaining its superior craftsmanship, such as the updated version of the brand
's iconic Golden Bridge watch, Golden Bridge Automatic.
The Corum Golden Bridge Automatic is an oversized watch with a 51.8 x 37.2 mm 18K red or white gold case with a black alligator strap. The Golden Bridge has 194 parts, a 40-hour power reserve, 26 jewels, 28,800 vibrations per hour and a water-resistant depth of 99 feet.
This watch is completely transparent, making the golden bridge in the middle a star of the watch. Corum's original Golden Bridge watch was released in 1980, using the same "floating" rectangular watch, but with a manual winding device. The automatic Golden Bridge has a slightly larger back-up case, making the golden bridge more eye-catching and a prominent focus of the watch. Corum doesn't pay attention to detail because even the back of the case contains some anti-glare coated crystals that can be found in front to allow a clearer view of the movement.buy Hublot BIG BANG SANG BLEU replica Watches
