Corum Adds A Rare Coin Watch To Its Museum Collection

Alvin Wong 11 November 2015

This is quite a coup for Corum. A rare Coin Watch worn by six US Presidents – George Bush, Ronald Regan, Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter – has finally made it way home to the brand that conceived it.

A distinctive Corum creation, the Coin Watch features a case made from a US$20 gold coin, which is hollowed-out to house a thin mechanical movement inside. This particular piece belonged to the Warhol collection, until a private collector acquired in it the early 1990s.
