In 2000 Corum introduced their Bubble watch, with its distinctive domed sapphire crystal that distorts the dial. The design harks back to the experimental deep-sea diving watches of the 1960s, which featured a huge domed glass to withstand the pressure in the deep sea.
Launched in 2015, the Corum Bubble Poker 52 Game is a poker-inspired timepiece in a special limited edition whose domed sapphire crystal makes the playing cards appear even larger on the green lacquered dial.
