Offered for sale is a rare and technically distinctive Corum Admirals Cup Tides Automatic Chronometer, a model that exemplifies Corums deep maritime heritage through one of the most unusual and functionally meaningful complications in modern Swiss watchmaking: a mechanical tidal indicator.

Key Highlight Tides Indicator Complication
At the heart of this watch is Corums mechanical tides indicator, displayed on the left sub-dial and clearly marked:
High Tide / Low Tide
Rising / Falling
Half Tide
This complication mechanically tracks the lunar-driven tidal cycle, translating complex maritime physics into an intuitive, legible display. Historically, such complications were developed for navigation, harbour approach planning, and coastal sailing making this watch a rare example of practical marine horology, not merely aesthetic design.
This is a complication seldom seen even among high-end Swiss manufacturers, and it remains one of Corums most intellectually interesting and technically under-appreciated achievements.
