Corum Bubble Mini Diamond Bezel Watch Ref. 101.151.47 | 26mm | Full Set

Part of Corum's imaginative Bubble collection, this unusual timepiece is immediately recognizable by its dramatically curved crystal, which creates a fascinating optical effect when viewing the dial.

Unlike a conventional flat watch crystal, the Bubble's pronounced curvature refracts light, visually magnifying and distorting the dial as the viewing angle changes. The result is a constantly shifting appearance that gives this watch its distinctive personality.

The Corum Bubble — A Distinctive Swiss Design

The Corum Bubble collection is one of the most recognizable examples of unconventional modern Swiss watch design.

Introduced in 2000, the Bubble became known for its dramatically domed crystal, which gives the dial an unusual magnified appearance.

The design departs from traditional watchmaking conventions, transforming the crystal from a protective component into the central visual feature of the watch.

The smaller Bubble Mini retains this distinctive character in a more compact case, making it an appealing choice for collectors who appreciate unusual watches and imaginative design.

The Extraordinary Bubble Crystal

The most captivating feature of this Corum is its highly domed crystal.

Its pronounced curvature bends light as it passes through the crystal, producing an unusual magnifying and distorting effect.

As the watch is tilted or viewed from different angles, the Arabic numerals and hands appear to shift in size and perspective.

This creates a dynamic visual effect that distinguishes the Bubble from conventional wristwatches.

We encourage you to watch the accompanying video to see this fascinating optical effect in motion.

Diamond-Set Stainless Steel Case

The watch features a compact 26mm stainless steel case with a diamond-set bezel.

The diamonds provide an elegant contrast to the black dial and distinctive Bubble crystal, adding a refined jewelry-inspired element to the watch's playful design.

Measuring approximately 31mm from lug to lug, the case offers compact proportions suitable for a variety of wrist sizes.

Black Dial with Arabic Numerals

Beneath the oversized crystal is a handsome black dial featuring Arabic numerals and traditional dauphine hands.

The dark dial provides an attractive background for the polished hands and hour markings, while the crystal's magnification gives the dial an unusual sense of depth.

Swiss Quartz Movement

The watch is powered by a three-jewel quartz movement, Caliber 901.001.

Quartz technology provides convenient timekeeping without the need for daily manual winding.

The movement is adjusted through the traditional crown-operated stem-setting mechanism.

Complete Original Corum Presentation Set

An important feature of this example is the inclusion of its complete original presentation set.

The watch is accompanied by both the inner and outer Corum boxes, booklet, hang tag, and card.
