# Vertically-Stacked Gear Watches The Classic Golden Bridge Watch by Corum Gets a Sleek Update By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-08-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-bridge-watch References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/229603689/Golden-Bridge-Watch-by-Corum) & [corum.ch](http://www.corum.ch/site/) Corum's 'Golden Bridge Watch' is a striking 18kt gold timepiece with an unusual form. For the most part, the watch resembles a traditional chronograph, except for its face. The original Golden Bridge Watch first made appearances in the 1980s, inspired by the iconic New York structure. This version is updated to offer a clean, modern aesthetic. Inside of the glass watch face, the watch's tiny gears have been stacked vertically. The clear front and back of the watch face gives a beautiful view of the neatly-arranged gears that seem to be suspended in place. Corum included other small details, like engraving the brand name onto the stack and placing a small crown at the six o'clock position. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vertically-stacked Watches:** The trend towards modern, vertically-stacked watches offers opportunities for watchmakers to differentiate their designs and appeal to customers interested in unique aesthetics. - **Clear Watch Faces:** The use of clear watch faces, like in the Golden Bridge Watch, provides an opportunity for watchmakers to showcase the intricate inner workings of their timepieces. - **Modernizing Classic Designs:** Updating classic watch designs, as with the Golden Bridge Watch, allows watchmakers to appeal to customers looking for timeless styles with a modern twist. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Watchmaking:** The trend towards unique, modern watch designs creates opportunities for watchmakers to differentiate their offerings and stand out in a crowded market. - **Luxury Goods:** The use of 18kt gold and intricate designs, as in the Golden Bridge Watch, speaks to the luxury goods market and provides opportunities for brands to cater to high-end consumers. - **Fashion:** Modern, eye-catching watches like the Golden Bridge Watch offer opportunities for fashion brands to expand their accessory offerings and appeal to consumers looking for statement pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Intricate Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kross-studios.md) - [Golden Automatic Self-Winding Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gold-skeleton-watch.md) - [Chiming Wrist Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classique-rptition-minutes-ref.md) - [Ultra-Chic Timepiece Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-pyramid.md) - [Sand Gold Luxurious Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remaster02.md) - [Midcentury-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-heuer-carrera-glassbox-chronograph.md) - [Hypercar-Inspired Luxury Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourbillon-baguette.md) - [Exquisite Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/central-flying-tourbillon.md) - [Timeless Dress Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blancpain-villeret-golden-hour.md)
