Wearing a watch imparts a feeling of professionalism that I find necessary. It gives weight to your wrist, literally, and gives figurative weight to your time. You become more aware of what you are doing, you always know what time it is, and people come to you to ask you the time �C they recognize that you are serious about life, that you don't freewheel and float; you have places to go, and a schedule to maintain.Pull back your sleeve to show your Concord Mariner watch and let it glisten. You can also refract the light to play with animals, or to bother your co-workers who you don't like. Just align it with the sun, and surreptitiously move it onto their face, getting ever closer to their eyes. The glint is strong, and will certainly annoy them. If you have a cat, you can use the light to play and watch them try to pounce on it.A Concord Mariner watch or Bulova wrist watch is also a great investment. They last forever if you take good care of them, and you can pass them down to future generations as heirlooms. Or if you ever find yourself in arrears, you could probably re-sell it for a pretty penny. But other than that, why sell something you love?

[ via Concord ]Free, disruptive. The latest Concord specimen grants time a space that befits its very nature: free from constraints or ties. With an aerial bi-axial Tourbillon mechanism, a structure that makes emptiness its core material, a 3D dial, functional elements fitted to the side of the case and an industrial and minimalist spirit, the C1 QuantumGravity timepiece defies all laws, including that of watch*** logic and most of all, of gravity. The Tourbillon carriage, which is fitted outside the movement and case where it is suspended, literally, rotates in a multi-dimensional manner on two axes, the main one being vertical. The design of this disconcerting time device borrows its rigid and light structure from renowned cable-stayed bridges; an extended arm of cables fastened to the plate holds the cage in a vertical position, thus highlighting the sensation of autonomy. Beneath the impressive sapphire crystal lies a panorama at its most extensive, giving shape to time, which becomes almost immaterial. While the dial strives to display the passing of time, it above all highlights empty space. The depth of its field of vision is dizzying and the feeling of levitation exhilarating. The officer-style hinged back excels in revealing the geometric circuit of the right-angled skeletonized bridges in a gigantic case measuring 47.5 mm in diameter and over 22 mm in depth. Its infinite precision holds many more temporal surprises... The C1 QuantumGravity timepiece, designed by the "C Lab Series" team in conjunction with BNB Concept, takes watch*** experimentation even further. It follows the impulse of a brand that defends its conviction of time inevitably linked to space. In this parallel and unconventional world, infatuation with non-conformity underscores Concord's creative spirit. C1 QuantumGravity is the latest living proof.
