Baselworld 2016: Corum Dazzles With Bubble High Jewelry Skeleton Watches

By Roberta Naas We know there are Corum Bubble lovers out there. In fact, there is an entire sect of what could be called "Bubble-risti" (a term only those familiar with the "Paneristi" will understand).

Then, at last year's Baselworld, Corum marked the return of the Bubble in honor of its 15th anniversary. A clamor of joy could be heard around the world and the brand knew bringing the collection back was a genius move. Since then, there have been several important new editions -but this year's may top them all.
