In 1955, Corum was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds by René Bannwart and his uncle Gaston Ries, quickly establishing the brand at the forefront of Swiss watch making. In 1996 Jean-René Bannwart joined the family company creating innovative watches, such as the much acclaimed Admiral's Cup series which since then has become a staple model for the Swiss manufacturer.
