Overview

This is an original CORUM limited-edition movement kit from the Artisan Classical Les Chevaliers de Montfort collection, a series known for its artisanal dial craftsmanship and historical inspiration. The kit includes the automatic Corum calibre CO 254 movement, a burgundy/yellow dial, and matching hands. The movement is a chronometer-grade unit with 21 jewels, designed for precision timekeeping.

The dial features no numerals or hour indexes, emphasizing its minimalist aesthetic, with an applied white gold Corum logo at the 3 o’clock position. This specific kit is part of a strictly limited production run of 50 pieces, making it a rare component for collectors and restorers. The movement has been inspected by a technician and confirmed to be in good working condition. The kit is graded Excellent in our Condition Grading Scale below.

The Artisan Classical Les Chevaliers de Montfort collection was introduced by CORUM as a tribute to medieval craftsmanship, with each piece reflecting the brand’s commitment to traditional watchmaking techniques. The calibre CO 254 is based on the ETA 2892-A2 architecture, a robust and widely respected Swiss automatic movement platform, modified and finished to CORUM’s specifications.

This kit is intended for professional use in watch servicing or restoration. The absence of a stem indicates the movement is sold as a core unit, requiring additional components for full assembly. The accompanying dial and hands are original CORUM parts, matching the limited-edition specifications of the Les Chevaliers de Montfort 42 model.

Specifications

The movement is the automatic Corum calibre CO 254, a chronometer-grade unit with 21 jewels. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and provides a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. Functions include central hours, minutes, and seconds.

The dial is burgundy with yellow accents, featuring no numerals or hour markers. The applied white gold Corum logo is positioned at 3 o’clock. The hands are original to the kit, matching the dial’s color scheme and design language. The movement is marked Corum | CO 254 | 21 Jewels | Chronometer on the rotor and mainplate.

The case diameter for the Les Chevaliers de Montfort 42 model is 42 mm, though this kit does not include the case. The movement diameter is 25.60 mm (11.5 lignes), with a height of 3.60 mm, compatible with standard ETA 2892-based case designs. The limited-edition numbering for this series is engraved on the case back of the completed watch, though this kit does not include the case or case back.

The movement is finished with Côtes de Genève decoration on the rotor and perlage on the mainplate, consistent with CORUM’s mid-to-high-end movement aesthetics. The kit does not include a stem, crown, or case components, focusing solely on the core timekeeping assembly and dial.
