The Corum Classical Billionaire Tourbillon is an ultra-limited edition wristwatch with 850 diamonds. It is a manually wound skeletonized Caliber CO-372 by Corum and La Joux-Perret. The case is 46 mm in diameter. It comes in mutltiple versions ranging from $325,00 to $998,000. What makes it ultra-limited is the fact that there are only 10 pieces of each of the four variations.
Here is the Limited Edition Royal Flush Bubble watch by CORUM and the Official Watch of the World Series of Poker. CORUM makes nice watches and I love watching/playing poker, but this watch makes me want to vomit.

The Corum Golden Bridge Artisan watch is tonneau-shaped with a rose gold case and a handpainted dial that takes 36 hours to create. Only 50 pieces of this unique watch are being made. I would bet most people would not want a watch with a handpainted Adam & Eve scene on the dial, but I am sure Corum with easily find 50 buyers.

Michael Wunderman, the President of the Swiss watchmakers Corum recently sailed as 18th man aboard Victory Challenge in their battle against BMW Oracle in the 32nd America’s Cup. Corum recently became the “Official Timekeeper” of the Victory Challenge and have announced that they are producing a special limited edition version of their new Competition 48 that will mark their debut into the arena of the America’s Cup. The new limited edition models should be available sometime this month.
Here is a nice Corum watch image that I found over at Europastar.
It is an 18 carat rose gold (42 mm) mechanical timepiece equipped with a manual winding CO-055 hand engraved and skeleton movement. Hour makers engraved on the flange, skeleton hour and minute hands, sapphire crystal and genuine hand-stitched crocodile leather strap. Limited edition of 40 pieces in rose gold and 100 pieces in white gold.
Introduced in 2006 the Corum Classical Tourbillon Midnight case is made of 950 platinum. It has a full grain crocodile leather strap with a 18k white gold clasp. This beauty is limited to only 25 pieces.
Here is a cool blue Corum Admiral's Cup Competition 48. It has the typical unique and colorful look that I expect from Corum.
This is a discontinued Corum Adimirals Cup Regatta 2005 Limited Edition of 2000, Stainless Steel Case, Steel bracelet with center links covered with carbon fiber, Black PVD coated crown and push button protectors, Black dial, Displays date at 6. It is a very nice pciture of a very nice watch. It originally retailed for $5995, I wonder how much these watches hold their value. The brand makes fairly high-end watches with very colorful and unusual designs that really catch your eye.
