Corum Pendant Ref. 8200

This is a beautiful piece of watchmaking history. Here is an atmospheric story that brings together the technical finesse of Corum and the artistic soul of La Chaux-de-Fonds:

The featherlight legacy of Corum.

In the heart of the Swiss Jura, where mist often lingers between the houses of La Chaux-de-Fonds, a watchmaking house emerged in 1955 that would rewrite the rules of timekeeping. This city, the birthplace of icons like Le Corbusier and the cradle of Art Nouveau, breathes craftsmanship. It is here that Amsterdam Watch Company found a special object from Corum’s history: the Corum Pendant Ref. 8200.

While the watchmaking world focused on mechanical precision in 1970, Corum looked to nature. The brand introduced the legendary Feather watch, a bold fusion of haute joaillerie and fine watchmaking. This specific Ref. 8200 is a sublime example of that; Not a wristwatch, but an elegant pendant (hanging watch), crafted in radiant 18k white gold and worn on a matching white gold necklace.

What makes this piece truly unique is the dial. No gemstones or enamel have been used here, but real bird feathers. The expertise required for this borders on the incredible:

Selection: Each feather (mostly from the peacock or jay) is manually selected for color, texture, and luster.

Preparation: The feathers are steam-cleaned and cut with surgical precision.

Composition: Like an organic mosaic, the fragments are placed on the dial, making each piece a unique piece.

Depending on the angle of light, the dial transforms from deep sapphire blue to mystical emerald green and warm bronze. It is a living work of art that reminds the wearer of the creativity and daring that have characterized Corum since its inception. Since 2009, the urban landscape of La Chaux-de-Fonds has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List, a recognition of the symbiosis between architecture and industry. The Corum Pendant Ref. 8200 embodies that same spirit. It is not merely an instrument for telling time, but a tribute to the age-old values ​​of haute horlogerie, wrapped in a powerful and modern design that remains just as relevant more than fifty years later.
