Corum is well known for its unique and avant-garde watch designs, and one of its most distinctive creations is the Corum Platinum Ingot Watch. This timepiece follows the brand’s tradition of incorporating precious metals in their purest form into watchmaking, similar to their well-known Gold Ingot Watches.
The Platinum Ingot Watch features a solid platinum bar as its case, typically stamped with its purity level, such as “999.5 PLATINUM”, emphasizing the exclusivity and intrinsic value of the metal and with the minted bar displays the insignia of the Union Bank of Switzerland. These watches are powered by a mechanical movement and are simple in design, allowing the precious metal to take center stage, with a minimalistic dial and thin hands.
