Romulus - Top Wristwatch Designs from Corum

Although it has been one of the top luxury watch producers since the 1950's, today Corum is known for its latest designs, including the Admiral's Cup, Bubble, and Romulus. The Corum Romulus is a unique watch that is very much in line with the ideals of the Corum brand. Beginning in 1955 in Switzerland, this business was founded by two timekeeping enthusiasts, Simone Ries and Rene Bannwart. They became popular at first based on the outstanding international success of their watch based on a gold coin, known as the Liberty Eagle watch. What truly made this watch stand out was not its attractive design, but its attention to technical detail.

You can find that same attention to detail in today's Corum Romulus. Some of the various features that you will note in this type of watch include a round stainless steel case of 44 mm in diameter and 13.5 mm thick. The watch face is engraved with a crown of laurels and a Corum and Heritage Romulus logo, which makes it stand out for its classic design. The watch also boasts a bezel hand engraved with Roman numerals, as well as a black dial and stainless steel bracelet. The black dial contains luminous index markers and hands for ease of reading the time. There is a date indication at the 6 o'clock mark, along with a seconds subdial at the 3 o'clock mark.

For added precision, the Corum Romulus contains centered chronograph seconds and a 30 minute counter at the 9 o'clock mark. Finally, these high quality watches are crafted from scratch resistant sapphire crystal, are water resistant to a depth of 50 meters, and have a 42 hour power reserve without any need for winding. When Corum celebrated its 40^th anniversary, the founders built a new design center to move forward with ongoing innovations in the field of horology, to prove their dedication to keeping up with the latest advancements in technology.

You can see that dedication to craft as well as innovation with the Corum Romulus. Although a major part of the appeal of a Corum is that it is an immediately recognizable classic design, it also features some real advances in engineering. Today, the business is co-owned by the Bannwart family as well as the Al Fardan Group in Qatar, to give it a real international image and legacy. Yet in the Romulus you can see the origins of Swiss design that made the company famous.
