In 2010, Swiss luxury watch brand Corum will unveil a timepiece which promises to take the sporty Admiral's Cup collection to a new pinnacle of complexity and prestige. The setting is Baselworld 2010, the corum watch is the Admiral's Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon 45, and the occasion is the 50th birthday of the Admiral Cup collection. To be produced in a series of just ten pieces, this model premieres an exclusive new haute horlogerie movement--the manually-wound CO 010. The CO 010 caliber's main claim to fame is the impressive combination of a one-minute tourbillon regulator with a minute repeater designed from the ground up to offer a particularly effective and sonorous chime sequence, but the movement also showcases an escapement and pallet lever in silicon.
