The History of Coin Watches

Let us remember the time when Corum's coin watches were making the first steps in the horology world. The story started in 1965 when the first models of Corum Coin watches were introduced at the Basel Fair. They brought the brand universal fame and appreciation. The brand came up with "time is money" slogan later transformed into original "time in money."

In fact, the Corum Company was not the first to use the idea of coin-watches. You would come across some pocket and wristwatches featuring coins in their design. One side of the coin was applied as a pull-out cover in pocket watches, while in wristwatches it was used as the caseback. Such constructions were not really reliable because of their fragility.

Corum decided to realize another idea- both practical and original - it used the face part of the coin as the dial. It became possible due to the invention of the sapphire crystal. The Corum Coin watches were supplied with the ultra-thin movement covered at the sides by two faces of a slit coin. The edges of the Coin watch circular-shaped case also made it resemble the coin - they were grooved.

Corum stopped it choice at applying the $ 10 American Eagle or the $ 20 American Double Eagle coins for its Coin watches and this choice was well-grounded. The golden $ 10-20 coins were launched by the USA government in 1849. In the beginning of the 1930's they were withdrawn from circulation. It was possible to find such the coins just in the private coin collections. Consequently, having become extremely rare, they acquired much higher value. American Double Eagle coins became especially popular as they featured the symbol of liberty cherished by the Americans. That is why Corum watches with $ 20 American Double Eagle coins were appreciated not just as reliable and beautiful timekeeping devices - they were appreciated as the wat6ches reflecting the American history.

At that point the Corum Company faced a major problem - the US government issued the law that prohibited United States prohibited any coin-mutilation. The matter was settled only after months of negotiations. Corum received an exemption to slit the coins in Switzerland. The Coin watches were noticed on the wrists of a few American presidents. They entered the most prestigious private watch collections.
