Corum Watches
Corum watches are known for their quality and it takes back over 50 years. The company is a Swiss manufacturer and one of the most prestigious in the world. Corum was first founded in 1956. At this time, the company’s location was La Chaux de Fonds in Switzerland. Even in its beginnings, the company established a unique goal and character trait in its philosophy. The goal of the company was to offer, “Superb craftsmanship combines with the endless search for beauty and innovation.” Even as a new company, the founders knew what it would take to be successful.
Corum brand watches are still living this philosophy today. There have been changes to the company over time. One significant change is at the head of the company. Corum is now run by Severin Wunderman who is well known around the world as a visionary in the industry. Mr. Wunderman is now the owner of Corum.
While the quality and the uniqueness of the Corum watch have not changed, there are apparent differences in the style of these watches, especially since Severin Wunderman has taken over. Corum watches offer a more youthful and dynamic element to them. Some in the press have labeled the watches as daring for their unique style and sophistication. The company continues to offer these fun and amazingly well designed watches, which are quite unique in the watch world today.
Severin Wunderman is no new designer to the market, and Corum’s founder, Louis Cottier worked hard to establish the company for what it is today. Through his training and perseverance he started the business out of a small desk in the back room of his wife’s book and stationary shop. In the beginning, he made pocket watches, desk clocks and soon began creating his own, handmade prototypes. In the very beginning, many of his pieces were unique, such as wristwatches that did not have hands and watches that added jumping digital hours to them. Through time and dedication, his business grew into what would be known as one of the finest.
Corum watches are designed to be unique and inspirational. Rather than following the trends, many of these watches set the trend on an international marketplace. As you look through the watches offered by the company today, you will see a true passion for watch making, as the company has continued to provide top-notch pieces known around the world for their quality. Many of today’s creations, in the hands of Severin Wunderman, offer fun and excitement and of course, the most innovative designs possible.
Joining a Kids Science Fair
Many children and teachers come and work together to arrange a great science fair every year and the occasion sometimes includes a majority of the town! This makes it one of the best places for a new student to meet new friends and get into the groove of going to a new school.
Whether your child is a new student or have been going to the same school for some time, joining the fair is still a great place to make friends. There are many other benefits for joining the fair, though. Usually it leads to extra credit for students, better understanding of science concepts, and it is a good venue for parents and teachers to meet, update and converse. The biggest benefit, of course, is the possibility of winning the fair, and with that comes a great accomplishment which a student can add to their college applications.
Every kids science fair has rules that participants must follow when it comes to their science project, especially if they are entering the project into the contest. Some children do join the fair, but choose not to enter the contest because contest rules can restrict project ideas. When encouraging your child to join the kids science fair, make sure you both understand the rules very well. Playing by the rules is one step closer to winning, and it also challenges both your imaginations to come up with a good project!
Make sure the project your child submits to the fair has a touch of originality. These days, judges want to see that children really put thought into their project and so old projects or copied projects are usually given less points unless the child has added something unique to it. Tweaking the idea of an old project or simply making it better is already one way to show originality. This is also makes it easier for your child to join the kids science fair the first time around because they would not have to think too hard about what science project to create. You can create a project you got online, and then just add an original element to it!
Finally, do not let your child give up. Chances are that no matter how hard your child worked on their project they are not going to win the kids science fair the first time they join. Make sure that your child is not too disheartened. Remind them that there is always next year, and they can always try again then!
