Big success makes Bubble a major part of Corum's heritage

THE watch isn't very old, launched only 15 years ago, but the big success of Corum's Bubble has made it a "major part" of the brand's heritage. The original watch is recognised by its oversized 44mm case and even larger crystal - rare among timepieces at the time of the Bubble's first appearance.

And the odd shape that it has was almost unseen then in watches.

The 2015 Bubble, while retaining all the design codes of the first watch, is even bigger with a 47mm stainless steel case in brown or black PVD. That's surely going to be heavy on the wrist but the short, curved lugs allow the watch to hug the wrist snugly.
