The manual winding movement is situated slightly off-center and it has been reduced to its bare essentials, with the bridges and main-plate skeletonized by hand. The inner beauty of the mechanism is showcased under the monumental sapphire crystal. The movement is engraved with acanthus leaves and all engravings differ so slightly between movements, thus enhancing the unique nature of each timepiece.
Corum Bubbliamonds is housed in an 18-karat white gold case which measures 47mm in diameter and 16.76mm in thickness. Despite the fact that the watch is relatively large, it is actually quite comfortable. That has been achieved thanks to a comfortable lug position and a lush alligator hide strap, which is fitted to each wristwatch to perfectly complement the gemstone hour markers.
