When I first saw this watch, my immediate thought was: ‘what on earth have Corum gone and done?’ But I suppose it’s one of those things where one is supposed to admire the art. It took about 36 hours to paint - and what a fine painting it is, too: Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Just one question, though: what the blue blazes is it doing on a watch dial? But never mind that, you want unique? You got it with this watch.

This watch is the latest of the Corum Golden Bridge series, which began in 1980. The idea behind the Golden Bridge is that all the workings of the watch movement are perfectly aligned on the bridge. And to crown it all, there is the transparent case.

And what do I think now, having viewed the watch in the context of the Golden Bridge? I think that, as part of the Golden Bridge series, the Artisan passes the test. But without that context, some may struggle to get the idea behind the watch.

There are only 50 pieces available, and not surprising, given all the work that went into creating it.
