Dimensions
Case diameter: approx. 1 1/4 in (31.2 mm); overall length: approx. 8 11/16 in (22 cm).
Description
A coin-dial quartz wristwatch designed in the style of Corum’s celebrated coin watches, featuring a United States Liberty Head gold coin motif dated 1899, with finely detailed relief preserved at the center. The coin is framed by a circular row of small brilliant-cut diamonds set within a decorative gold-tone bezel, providing visual contrast and added brilliance. The case is further distinguished by a fluted edge and extended lugs, accented with diamond-set shoulders, and fitted with a crown at 3 o’clock. Powered by a quartz movement, the watch is fitted with a black leather strap stamped "GENUINE LEATHER," secured by a gold-tone pin buckle. Combining numismatic imagery with jewelry-style watchmaking, this piece reflects late 20th-century luxury fashion trends that reinterpret historic coinage as wearable timepieces with strong decorative appeal.
