Pifpaf's detailed observations on design, movement, and pricing remain relevant for understanding Corum's historical product development.

I was receiving by Corum at Basel.

The biggest novelties (in all senses) is the diver, 1000m, titanium, I found it nice, the build of the case make forget the inter-lug of 24mm,
and the bezel, make the case of admirals cup nicer. The finition are reallt good too.
The caliber basis is the 7750, I found this piece fine, she can attack the other Divers, Panerai Subzilla, Breitling Seawolf, or Eterna Kon Tiki Diver,
and she make better than Big Bzng King or SDDS Rolex...
The price, near 6500€.

The other sport novelties, is a new version of Admiral Cup's, the aesthetic and finition are not my cup of tea, but the complication, is very funny,
monopusher chronograph central, with minute and second at the center. At 9 its the little second, and at 3 the date.
Even my charming host denied it, the basis of the movement, is a 7750 (not ETA I think), with a module.

With some Jewels for women, the price are low, as the interest. And basic 7753.

You have waiting, you deserve it.
The new T-Bridge, she could be one of the greastest watch of Basel, if they don't put this poor caseback, I can't see my hair, and
this caseback have no decoration... I prefer a totally transparent, I love my arm and my hair. But for thoose who don't love it (or dont have it),
a caseback in metal, handgraved, or anything else should be better.
And it's so a Pity, cause the watch over-Roxx , she's beautiful, the finitions are perfect, I love how she go on my wrist.
We can hope that in next version, the caseback as the 2 finish, transparenf or no.
The price is around 10000€, it's nice for this kind of finish.

Titanium case, brushed or polished, 42*41mm, 21600a/h, all good.

And women version, nothing to critiq, perfect, my host wear it, I hope that i Could buy, a day to my wife (when I have Wife and some money to loose)

I fact, I have some feelings for Corum, they try, the know, and sometimes, they arrive to exit from boring Swiss Industrial horologery, for make original products,
this year is not the most original, but like many brands, they upgrade quality, finitions, général aesthetic, for make more actual watchs, the watchs that the customers waiting for, the price
even they don't break the market, are realistic and linked with the product. And it's good.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Corum diver, a 1000m titanium model, was praised for its build quality and ability to compete with other robust divers like Panerai Subzilla and Breitling Seawolf, despite its 24mm inter-lug width.
The new Admiral's Cup featured a unique monopusher chronograph with central minute and second hands, built on a modified 7750 base movement, offering an interesting complication.
The new T-Bridge was highlighted as a potential standout of Baselworld for its beauty and perfect finishing, though the non-transparent caseback was a point of critique.
The T-Bridge's price point of around 10,000€ was considered fair for its level of finish and unique design, with a titanium case and 21,600 a/h movement.
The diving watch was described as charming and visually competitive, while the men's T-Bridge was a 'definite WOW,' with its metal case back possibly intended to convey a specific character.
The new titanium T-Bridge was seen as a significant addition to the lineup, addressing the perceived small size of the original Golden Bridge for many male wearers.

Their diving watch is a charm, and look wise, its up to the challenge with the brands you've listed , personally its the second diving watch i like . their men bridge watch is a definite WOW for me, and i believe the metal case back is meant to state a certain character in the watch. Thanks Faisal

...is quite lovely on the wrist. I generally am not drawn to Corum's products, but it is interesting to see the movement displayed in such a way. Thanks for the pictures! Cheers, Daos

i've always been fascinated by the golden bridge, but feel its too small for me and most men so the Ti bridge is a very good addition to the line up. thanks for your time and trouble in posting these pifpaf best Graham

The Ti bridge was one of my fav watches from Basel. A very special and exclusive timepiece, in terms of design, concept and movement. And with a very fair price for what you get. Very very nice. I liked it. The Tourbillon was also an interesting piece with and interesting price too. Thanks for sharing. Vte
