Corum revisits the shape of its much-admired Bubble with a fresh pair of eyes, taking it to new, mega dimensions. The new watch is the result of a partnership between the La Chaux-de-Fonds watch brand and DJ and composer Matteo Ceccarini.
Presented as a limited edition of 88 pieces, this Bubble is remarkable thanks to its intense, piercing oceanic gaze. Enhanced by 3D technology and the watch’s famous domed sapphire crystal, this memorable eye leaves a lasting impression on a dial free from numerals.
For the artist, the eye is much more than an artistic creation: Anima means soul and it is said that the eyes are the mirror of the soul. The eye has been seen as a protective symbol and used as a kind of lucky charm since ancient times.
The Bubble Big Magical M. Ceccarini is equipped with a vulcanized rubber strap in black color and measures a 52 mm in diameter. The watch is available in a limited edition of 87 timepieces and features an automatic winding system with a 65-hour power reserve.
The watch case is made from grade 5 titanium and is just over 20 mm thick covered with a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment. The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters.
Matteo Ceccarini is an Italian DJ, composer and producer. In 1993, he launched his career at the age of 21 by performing in famous clubs in Milan and Paris, as well as Bali. He was then discovered by designer Gianfranco Ferre, who introduced him to the fashion world.
Through music that combines ambient, electro, classic contemporary and minimalist influences, he composes pieces for the biggest luxury brands for their fashion shows and parties. Given his love for Asia, Matteo spent several years living there, and in India in particular in order to soak up the traditional holy music that he uses for his compositions. In the same vein, he composed music in 1997 for Zanskar and Tibet – Richard Gere’s personal exhibition of photos of Tibet.
