CORUM Automatic Artisan Classical Les Chevaliers de Montfort 42 – Watch Movement Kit with Dial and Hands
Overview
This is an original CORUM limited edition Artisan Classical Les Chevaliers de Montfort 42 watch movement kit, including the dial and hands. The movement is the in-house Corum calibre CO 254, an automatic chronometer-grade mechanism with 21 jewels, designed for precision timekeeping. The kit is part of a strictly limited production run of 50 pieces, making it a rare component for collectors and restorers.
The dial features an olive green enamel background with no numerals or hour indexes, adhering to the minimalist aesthetic of the Les Chevaliers de Montfort collection. The only applied element is the gold CORUM logo at the 3 o’clock position. The movement has been inspected and confirmed functional by our technician, though it requires professional servicing (cleaning, oiling, and timing) before installation to meet manufacturer specifications.
Condition is graded Excellent in our Condition Grading Scale below, with two minor chips in the dial enamel noted. These are considered easily restorable by a professional or skilled hobbyist. The kit does not include a stem, and no additional parts beyond those listed are provided.
The CORUM Artisan Classical series, introduced in the early 2000s, was known for its blend of traditional Swiss watchmaking and contemporary design. The Les Chevaliers de Montfort sub-collection referenced the medieval Knights Templar, with this 42mm variant being one of the larger models in the line. Complete watches from this series typically retail between USD 15,000–20,000 in the pre-owned market.
