The company itself was launched in 1955 although the collections were only released a while later. A Swiss company and one that is never too afraid of thinking outside of the box, Corum is ahead of the watch trends. In fact, the company takes a lot of pride in being an industry trend setter.
Corum was created by Rene Bannwart and Gaston Ries (his uncle). The company name comes from the Latin word “quorum”, which is a word that relates to the minimum number of individuals needed to conduct business.
Along with the company being focused on creating watch designs for the creative individual, the watchmakers are just as dedicated to the finer workings of the watch, guaranteeing that each watch that leaves the shop is made to last a lifetime.
While the company is probably best known for its artistic designs, they do cater to those with a more classic and timeless taste. But no matter which watch you choose, you will receive an immensely valuable timepiece.
Corum watches are popular as first hand pieces, but they are also highly sought after as second hand watches, often because when sold second hand they can be more valuable, depending on the watch’s history. We also buy Corum watches.
