The meticulous artistry applied to each element of this movement which graces the dial side bestows an awe-inspiring visual spectacle that effortlessly encapsulates the ethos of refinement and artisanship.

Below this ethereal caliber lies a dial of mesmerizing beauty, crafted from aventurine stone. The dial's delicate allure evokes the celestial dance of a meteor shower and pays homage to the heavens themselves, imparting an enchanting touch of celestial elegance to the tapestry of this creation.

An Eternal Dance Of Form And Function

Corum's unwavering dedication to transcending the frontiers of design unfurls its wings even on the canvas of the case back. A symphony of expertise emanates from the skilled artisans in La Chaux-de-Fonds, as they meticulously etch an intricate design encircling the distinctively shaped aperture. Within this window of artistry, the spotlight gracefully falls upon the tourbillon's ballet, the mainspring's heartbeat, and the intricate gear train's choreography. Yet, it's the artistry of the engraving that unveils the watch's inner workings in vivid detail, eloquently narrating the function and essence of each component.
