CORUM GOLDEN BRIDGE – Reference 113.150.55 | 18K Rose Gold | Box & Papers (Open) | Excellent & Unpolished

The Corum Golden Bridge reference 113.150.55 stands as one of the most important and technically distinctive creations in contemporary Swiss watchmaking. Crafted in 18K rose gold, this model showcases Corum’s mastery of architectural movement design, where mechanics and aesthetics are inseparable.

At its core is the legendary Golden Bridge linear movement, a hand-wound, baguette-shaped caliber constructed on a single horizontal plane and extending vertically from 12 to 6 o’clock. The movement is fully skeletonized and suspended between two sapphire crystals, requiring exceptional precision in assembly and regulation, as the caliber itself serves as both the technical engine and the visual centerpiece of the watch. The linear gear train, barrel, and escapement are all aligned along the same axis—an engineering solution that remains rare even by today’s haute horlogerie standards.

The rose gold case frames the movement with architectural restraint, allowing uninterrupted views from every angle while providing warmth and contrast to the finely finished bridges and components. The sapphire case construction emphasizes transparency and depth, reinforcing the illusion of the movement floating freely within the case.

This, in more than excellent condition, example is offered with its original box and open papers, making it an attractive proposition for collectors seeking completeness alongside mechanical significance.

First introduced in 1980, the Golden Bridge was conceived by renowned independent watchmaker Vincent Calabrese and brought into serial production by Corum. It was the world’s first wristwatch to feature a linear movement, marking a radical departure from traditional circular calibers. At a time when Swiss watchmaking was emerging from the Quartz Crisis, the Golden Bridge became a powerful statement of mechanical creativity and innovation.

Over the decades, Corum has continually refined the Golden Bridge while preserving its original concept, cementing it as the brand’s most iconic creation and a cornerstone of modern avant-garde horology.

For the serious collector, the Corum Golden Bridge ref. 113.150.55 represents not only a visually arresting timepiece, but a historically significant mechanical achievement.
