The United States celebrates Independence Day and Corum Watches Bubble Replica is giving prominence to the colours associated with the land of Uncle Sam. True to the grandeur and power of the country, the watch brand has chosen to immortalise not one, but two nations on its dial.

This is how the United Kingdom’s tricolour flag also came to be represented on the dial, suitably enlarged thanks to the legendary magnifying effect of the Bubble’s sapphire crystal.

Corum unveils two Big Bubble with a 52 mm case, sporting proudly the Stars & Stripes of the American flag. Four other Bubblée 47 models complement the collection.

In keeping with the bubble style unique to Corum, the Swiss watchmaker proudly exhibits the colours of both nations, united in their exceptional power.

There is a lot of discussion on the topic of watches as artwork. Even though a watch needn’t be art to be of note, I am a firm believer in their own potential to straddle the bounds of purpose, shape, and philosophy where appropriate. In the case of the Corum Bubble watches, it is apparently a brand’s attempt at developing a pure objet d’art. It’s correct, the Corum Bubble watches are not love anything else that the brand makes (or similar to whatever anyone leaves, for that matter), however they’re designed to be beautiful items, that is something that they have in common with other timepieces bearing the Corum logo.The dedication to the sphere in these pieces is staggeringly unwavering. In my view, this collection works only because it is so unconcerned with anything but the faithful realisation of its own unique idea. To take advantage of the re-release opportunity, Corum has partnered with famous cymbal manufacturer Paiste. Paiste are enlisted to make a unique dial to get your Corum Bubble Paiste special edition watch. The dial of the Corum Bubble Paiste is a very small cymbal created by Paiste at exactly the exact same manner they’d earn a full size cymbal. I’m quietly confident it would work as intended have been it removed from the home and attached to some kit, but even if it’s just for show, it looks great.
