Corum Temps Mécanique – Republic of Maritime – Automatic – Two-Tone – 1990s–2000s
Swiss Automatic – Date – Small Seconds – Maritime Emblem Dial

An unusual and highly distinctive vintage Corum Temps Mécanique, combining traditional Swiss mechanical watchmaking with a strong maritime-inspired aesthetic.
The watch features a 34 mm two-tone case, with a polished steel body contrasted by gold-tone details on the coin-edge bezel, crown and push-piece. The silver-toned dial has an elaborate textured central section, applied hour markers and elegant gold-tone hands.

Its most striking feature is the multicoloured maritime heraldic emblem positioned on the dial, giving the watch an individual identity and making it immediately recognizable. Two subsidiary displays complete the composition: small seconds at 9 o’clock and a pointer date indication at 6 o’clock.
Powered by a Swiss Corum automatic mechanical movement, this is an interesting collector’s piece with a combination of classical proportions, mechanical complications and distinctive Corum design.

Story & Heritage
Founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1955, Corum became known for watches that combine traditional Swiss mechanics with unconventional design and strong visual identities.

Maritime themes occupy an important place in Corum’s history, most famously through the maison’s long association with nautical imagery and sailing-inspired watchmaking. This Temps Mécanique follows that tradition in a more classical and decorative form.
The combination of a textured silver dial, gold-tone detailing, mechanical automatic movement and colourful heraldic maritime emblem gives this example considerable personality. Rather than relying on a conventional dial layout, Corum integrates the emblem directly into the visual architecture of the watch, alongside the small-seconds and date displays.

With its compact 34 mm proportions, distinctive two-tone construction and traditional Swiss automatic movement, it represents an intriguing Corum for collectors looking for something less common than the brand’s better-known contemporary models.
