Details
Description
In 1924, Gaston Ries started a watchmaking workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 1955, Ries joined with his nephew René Bannwart, and together, they transformed the workshop into a watchmaking company with its own brand Corum.
The word "quorum" signifies the minimum number of persons required to approve a decision, and it fascinated the two men. Shortly after, they simplified the spelling as Corum and decided to use it for their name brand. The founders of Corum made a clear determination to position the brand at the vanguard of the Swiss watch industry. Since the mid-1950s, Corum has produced numerous innovative designs and original mechanisms and models whose dials explore the métiers d'art.
