This watch is accompanied by the original Corum lacquered wood presentation box, certificate of guarantee, and various accompanying pamphlets.

This watch is one of a very limited edition of just 12 pieces ever made and is numbered 10. Although fascinating aesthetically to look at, it also provides the user with the unusual aspect of the movement becoming inverted so that they are able to marvel at the complexities of the minute repeating mechanism and tourbillon mechanism directly through the dial crystal, a feat normally only experienced when a watch is reversed and seen through the back.
