Corum unveiled its latest addition to the Golden Bridge collection in Baselworld 2017. The Golden Bridge Stream presents itself as a reinvent of the original Golden Bridge, paying homage to the “bridge” that crosses it. Like all Golden Bridge models, its structure is visually appealing through the use of its linear design, curves and arches.
The design cues for the Golden Bridge Stream comes from a huge phenomenon in (then) contemporary architecture, streamlining. This phenomenon came about back in the early 1930s and the 1960s where companies started streamlining production lines for mass production of goods.

Case, Hands and Dial
The Golden Bridge Stream comes in a rectangular rose gold case with a thickness of just 14.70 mm, making it an excellent choice as a dress watch.

The clear sapphire crystal also reveals outstanding skills, a perfect miniaturization of the structure of the Californian suspension bridge.
The beautiful layout of the movement gives the Golden Bridge Stream its visual appeal. Shown here is the red lacquer version.
The Movement
The Golden Bridge Stream is powered by the CO 313 movement which operates at 28,800 vph and features a power reserve of 40 hours. The CO 313 was specially designed such that its components are lined up in the shape of a column where the bridge holds it up together. The bridge structure holding the movement are constructed in rose gold. Two versions are offered, one in a full rose gold movement including the bridge structure in rose gold, and another with the rose gold bridge structure coated in a red lacquer.
The movement was specially designed to be lined up in the shape of a column.
The plate of the movement features mechanic and rectilinear engraving which gives the movement its own character and boosts the visual appeal of the timepiece. The movement itself is rather special.
