Introduced in 1980, the Corum Golden Bridge reference 13150 is one of the most innovative and recognisable creations of late 20th-century watchmaking. Conceived by master watchmaker Vincent Calabrese during the height of the Quartz Crisis, the model challenged traditional watch design by placing its extraordinary linear movement at the centre of attention.

The present example showcases the collection's signature hand-engraved, baguette-shaped movement, suspended between two sapphire crystals and fully visible from both sides. Its minimalist architecture and ingenious rear winding system ensure an uninterrupted view of the mechanism, transforming the movement into a true work of art.
