Several models belonging to the Heritage collection, such as the Romvlvs, Chargé d’Affaires or the 20 Dollars Coin Watch, have left an indelible imprint. Building on this proud heritage, our clear-cut objective is to consistently look to the future. Witness the brand emblem: the key pointing skywards symbolizes a mystery to be elucidated, an enigma to be resolved, and new territories to be explored. History is definitely in the making at Corum.
