About The Watch:
The Corum Romulus is one of the brand's most elegant and enduring references, combining a round sporty case silhouette with the refined touch of a Roman numeral bezel in 18K rose gold — a design that bridges casual wear and formal dressing effortlessly. The champagne vertical stripe dial with its subtle texture and applied rose gold dot indices creates a warm, tonal color palette that is immediately flattering and distinctive, while the small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock adds horological depth to what could otherwise read as a pure dress watch. The two-tone integrated bracelet in brushed stainless steel and polished rose gold connects to the case with clean, integrated transitions that give the watch a continuous, jewelry-like presence on the wrist.

About Corum:
Corum was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1955 by Gaston Ries and René Bannwart, quickly establishing itself as one of the most creative and technically distinguished independent watchmakers of the 20th century. The brand is celebrated for iconic and unconventional references including the Golden Bridge, the Coin Watch, and the Bubble, each demonstrating Corum's willingness to push the boundaries of conventional watchmaking in both design and movement architecture. The Romulus collection, named after the legendary founder of Rome, reflects Corum's appreciation for classical design elements — particularly Roman numeral typography — translated into a contemporary wearable format with Swiss automatic movement precision. Corum watches are consistently collected by enthusiasts who value genuine Swiss independent watchmaking outside of the mainstream conglomerate brands, and full-set examples with box and warranty carry a meaningful premium in the secondary market. Owning a Corum Romulus is acquiring a piece of creative Swiss horological history from one of the industry's most respected independent maisons. See less
