Despite its trademark transparency, the Corum Golden Bridge is a
wristwatch full of mystery. This new book describes the iconic
linear timepiece's fascinating history including the innovative
mechanical invention conceived by a nonconformist autodidact and
the difficult technical breakthroughs by two like-minded
personalities needed to achieve the dream wristwatch. This story,
chock-full of narrative substance, begins in Switzerland of the
late 1970s, at a time when electronic timekeeping was threatening
to overtake the magical mastery of mechanical ticks and tocks. The
Golden Bridge, spanning the gap between mechanics and art, is an
integral part of this era as luxury watchmaking teetered on the
brink of extinction. The Golden Bridge additionally helped usher in
the era of the independent watchmaker, as its very creation was
rooted in shedding light on the work of the watchmaker in a way
that no other timepiece before or after it ever would.
