In 2000, entrepreneur Severin Wunderman joined Corum as the new owner and CEO. In 1980 the manufacture brought out a second emblematic timepiece, the “Golden Bridge”, featuring the now legendary linear-winding baguette movement. In the 1980s changes were made to the collection, resulting in its current shape: a twelve-sided case with nautical pennants on the bezel serving as hour markers. The first interpretation had a square case engraved with a sailboat and the name of the legendary regatta on the back.
In 1960, the firm presented what was to become one of its iconic watches – the Admiral's Cup. The latter once again underscored the brand's pioneering nature, marking the signature of the first partnership of its kind with a prestige car brand – in 1976. The firm made a considerable impression with the “Coin Watch” – the dial of which was an American coin – the peacock feather watch (1970) and the Rolls Royce model. As early as 1956, it was clear that Corum's designers allowed creativity to guide technical aspects rather than the other way around. It was not long before the Maison presented its first model. This brand new manufacture set out to be creative, placing itself at the cutting edge of watchmaking, with just as much attention paid to design as to the movement itself. On the strength of watchmaking experience with the most prestigious firms, in 1955 he founded Corum with his uncle, Gaston Ries. René Bannwart was born in Zurich in 1915.
