Corum watches

Corum was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in 1955 by Gaston Ries and his nephew René Bannwart. The Severin Wunderman Group acquired the company in 2000, and in 2013 it was sold to the Hong Kong-listed group later named Citychamp Watch & Jewellery.

In 2025 a management buyout led by Haso Mehmedovic, backed by Swiss investors, returned Corum to Swiss ownership; Mehmedovic became chief executive.

Its collections include the Admiral, a nautical line, the Golden Bridge, with a linear movement held in a sapphire case, coin watches, and the Bubble, which first came on the market in 2000.
