Corum teams with French street artist Aiiroh to create the Corum Bubble 47 x Aiiroh, the latest result of Corum’s artistic Bubble collaborations.
The black-PVD-coated Bubble is a limited edition of eighty-eight pieces with a dial inspired by Aiiroh’s “Black Série Rose” artwork. 
The 47mm watch continues a series of Bubble debuts Corum has created in the twenty-two years since the Bubble’s debut. The Swiss watchmaker has teamed with many artists and creative sources, more recently with Elisabetta Fantone, rapper Booba, and cymbals manufacture Paiste.
On the dial of the new Corum Bubble 47 x Aiiroh, a rose-shaped blackened aluminum grille tops a colorful collage of street posters, which also form a rose shape.
Corum explains that its artisans used two different dial appliques to add depth and dimension to the Aiiroh-designed dial. The Bubble’s thick, domed crystal adds a pleasing layer of optical intrigue to the Pop-Art-inspired design.
Inside the 47mm Bubble Corum fits its automatic caliber CO 082 that offers 42 hours of power reserve. Check the sapphire caseback to view the Soprod-built caliber. Water resistance is 100 meters.
Corum will offer the watch with an artwork made by Aiiroh and Japanese modern artist Namisen, which was then made into a piece in resin by French visual artist Soyz Bank. This ‘sculptured wall art,’ inspired by Corum’s watch certificate, is created as a flat painting, semi-folded, and finished in resin.
Price: $8,000.
