In 1960, the Corum admirals cup watch, in which nautical pennants corresponding to the international maritime code were added and served as hour markers.

Through the years Corum has delighted and continues to delight watch enthusiasts and buyers with originality and craftsmanship.

In January 2000, Corum was purchased by it's current owner, Severin Wunderman, and was soon under the guidance of his son Michael, the President of the company to this date.

During its long evolution, the brand has carved out a remarkable niche for itself, one that maintains its forefront position to this day. 2010 is considered as a new chapter for the brand. Still closely involved in the company, the Banwart family is committed to create more splendid watches to keep alive the artistic vision of the founders.
