Creations can be great, and creations can be iconic – Corum’s Heritage Coin watch belongs to the latter category. First introduced in 1964, this watch is set in a historic American 20 Dollar Double Eagle gold coin with the seal of Liberty on the back. Indeed, it is crafted by splitting the coin into half and housing an ultra-thin movement inside. It uses the coin’s head as the dial, while the tail is remodelled into a caseback. Not only does it represents the brand’s brilliant craftsmanship and ingenuity, but its superior watchmaking capabilities. Although discontinued and reintroduced a couple of times, the Coin watch has always been an indispensable part of Corum’s watch cannon.

Here we have reference 082.645.56.0001.MU52, featuring the customary American Double Eagle 22k gold coin in all its glory — as the dial. The original coin has been used undisturbed save for the addition of two black baton hands at the centre. Similarly, in the pursuit of retaining the coin's original state, the house cleverly added the logo on the inside of the anti-reflective sapphire crystal in lieu of the dial. From the diamond-punctuated crown to the 18k gold caseback engraved with the seal of liberty, attention to detail is manifested beautifully throughout the timepiece.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
