Booba doesn’t count sheep any more…now he counts the 31 carats of diamonds on his Corum watch. The rapper received the one-of-a-kind model from Corum Marketing Director Frédéric Layani. With a thousand diamonds, it was made to be as brilliant as its new owner. This Bubble engraved D.U.C just sealed the partnership deal – a product of the artist’s true love for Corum’s exquisitely unique pieces and craftsmanship.
Today, we will have to give the brand a small amount of latitude when it comes to celebrating this anniversary — the very first Corum Coin Watch premiered in 1964, and naturally, we’re currently in 2015 (51 decades after). How to get around that little detail? Well, using coins minted in 2014. These were apparently sorted through and selected as being prime examples of these coins are (therefore, no, no “misprint” dials to be had here), and have never been in circulation. And, other than the hole drilled in them to get the central arbor via, there are no visible modifications into the coin.Provided the sapphire crystal up top remains in one piece, it is likely a coin that won’t ever see any other alterations or wear. As is suitable for your Corum Coin Watch, the sides of the case (36mm for the gold, 43mm for its silver) feature a coin border — possibly the best use of this finishing suggestion. To my eyes, the bezel surrounding the crystal also has the look of a coin, which provides the appearance, subsequently, of simply having a coin having some lugs attached which is sitting in your wrist.I myself have been a coin collector (though, I think I’ve some birth-year coins kicking around), so I’m definitely not the goal for the 50th Anniversary version of this Corum Coin Watch. Nevertheless, when it has to do with a watch with a general theme, this is about the easiest, cohesive illustration I could maintain up. If you would like to pick up one for yourself (or your own great-great grandson, according to the marketing materials), you may either purchase one individually, or get a pair — as a fantastic coin collector does, I guess. There’ll be 100 of each made accessible, together with all the 22kt gold version going for $22,400, as well as the .925 silver commanding a price of $12,100. If you end up collecting both watches and coins, well then, I can’t think of a better view to showcase both passions in precisely the same time.
Booba raps a lot about watches and diamonds, so it’s no big surprise his lyrics are on this custom-made watch. As loyal as ever, Corum followed him past the point of no return… Fist raised high, now Booba’s wrist is adorned with 1,017 diamonds and 12 baguette-cut sapphires. Diamonds set on gold and a case that houses the famous CO 055 skeleton movement, the watch is enhanced by the sublimely unique box.
