An artistic masterpiece depicting two roosters engaged in confrontation, the image takes inspiration from the rich and traditional artwork of Thailand. As a native sport, "kai chon" or cock-fighting evolved from Asia's highly respected culture and heritage. Bred especially for the sport, Thai roosters possess qualities of elegance and grace with tall lean physiques, broad chests, rich plumage, and red crowns.

Corum was paying hommage to this with the production of a limited edition of just 50 pieces and the current piece bears the number 44.
