Recently Corum Watches Jomashop Replica formally announced their limited edition Chargé d’Affaires set of watches as the newest piece in their Heritage collection. This is a piece perfect for vintage lovers. What Corum essentially does is modernize the design of an actual watch from the 1950s, but uses the exact same movement that the original had – only produced with modern technology.

At 38mm wide, the modern Chargé d’Affaires isn’t a huge piece but of course it is larger than the original watch. The name of the piece is interesting as it shows that even then, Swiss watch brands tried to imbue personality into their watches by suggesting the type of person that would wear them. “Chargé d’Affaires” is the French term for a sort of diplomat, or something in that position. Putting the name of the watch right on the dial seemed a good idea. I wish more brands did that today. At least Rolex still does. In fact, for a lot of watches, there is no mention at all on the watch of what the model is. Isn’t that sort of weird?

The original Chargé d’Affaires was released in 1956 using an A. Schild caliber 1475 manually wound movement. A. Schild movements aren’t really made anymore, but are considered pretty good vintage movements and are often restored today. The caliber 1475 is faithfully reproduced for the Chargé d’Affaires of today. Back in 1956 it was the very first alarm watch produced by Corum. Today Corum calls the movement their caliber CO 286.

Mechanical alarm watches are a sort of interesting thing. Today they are largely obsolete for a range of reasons, but are still interesting. Their biggest drawback is that they use a separate mainspring barrel for the alarm to buzz. It totally winds down the spring on each use. So you need to remember to fully wind it after each use or the alarm won’t go off again. The sound they make is also sort of iconic and amusing. They literally buzz and vibrate. Put it on a little table next to your bed for example you’d hear this rapid vibration sound as your watch jittered around on the table top. In this watch, the alarm buzzes for about 12 seconds.

For the relaunch of the Corum Watches Rolls Royce Replica Bubble, there are three models, two of which are limited edition. Corum is obviously taking it slow with all the Corum Bubble, but those are nice versions. All the 2015 Corum Bubble watches utilize the same motions that Corum used in its previous three-hand Corum Bubble watches, which is their Caliber CO 0082 (a foundation Swiss ETA 2892 automatic). The CO 0082 has been skeletonized for the non-limited edition model that’s the yield of the Corum Bubble Skeleton. Extremely similar to the older Corum Bubble Skeleton watches, the newest Skeleton has slightly different skeletonized bridge designs.The two limited edition 2015 Corum Bubble watches would be the Corum Bubble ALL Black in a black PVD-coated steel case in addition to the Corum Bubble Vintage, which has a bronze-colored PVD-coated steel case. More good news is in respect to pricing – that is quite welcoming for the limited edition versions (even in comparison to the prices of original Corum Bubble watches available for sale) in a decent $3,425 for the Corum Bubble All Black and Corum Bubble Vintage, along with a lofty $8,300 for the non-limited Corum Bubble Skeleton.My favorite family of watches at the present collection of Corum products is the Admirals’ Cup. Based on a now defunct boat race, the first Admiral’s Cup watch started in the 1980s and was the first yachting watch to wear off or on deck along with your boating shoes and skipper cap. What has indicated the Admiral’s Cup collection for so long would be that the 12-sided case and the use of vibrant ship pennant flags over the hour markers. The latter was largely depreciated as the colors no longer exist on newest Admiral’s Cup watches. Lots of new Admiral’s Cup watches are still rather cool. But with watches like the Chronograph Tourbillon 47 Seafender (that in its very own way is intriguing) I feel like the first theme and character of the Admiral’s Cup collection has officially been thrown overboard.

The second crown is of course used to set, wind, and activate the alarm. The alarm is set using the red arrow-tipped fourth hand on the dial. It isn’t ultra precise, but you can more or less set it to the nearest 3-5 minute time. Today mechanical alarm watches provide nostalgia and fun, but I don’t think I would recommend relying on one. Your phone has a world of advantages over something like this.

You can view the movement through the rear of the watch which is nice. I like the little “ribbon” across the movement honoring the collection going back to 1956. On the wrist the design is traditional and attractive. Retro lovers will fawn over the design with its mix of elegance and function – as was common at the time. By this I mean the use of lume in the hands and the relative thickness of the bezel that said “this isn’t a dress watch!” Though of course it looks dressy by today’s standards.
