Swiss brand Corum has always forged its own path. From its Romulus collection of Roman-inspired watches to its famed timepieces made out of gold coins, Corum’s wares are unique and eye-catching. Such is especially true of its shaped watches from the 1970s, a time when watch design — and industrial design in general — was going through radical changes in favor of bold shapes, bright colors, and fun accents. This particular Corum is a Buckingham model from the 1970s. With its rectangular case, integrated bracelet, and flat profile, it’s a striking piece of design that stands out in a sea of round, same-same dive and sport watches. Housed in a 32mm stainless steel case with an acrylic crystal and a sapphire cabochon crown, it features a sunburst grey dial with a matching 'pencil' handset and a date window at 6:00. Paired to an integrated steel bracelet with a signed hidden deployant clasp and powered by an ultrathin, automatic movement, it’s a versatile piece that works well on both men’s and women’s wrists. Looking for a watch that’s slightly left-of-center? Look no further! Show more
