Concord.The word just oozes sophistication doesn't it? (Yes, it does.)But what does this sophisticated word MEAN? Well according to the good ol' dictionary, concord is:1)????? ?An agreement between persons, groups, nations etc.2)????? Agreement between things, mutual harmony.3)????? Peace, amity.4)????? A treaty; compact; covenant5)????? A stable combination of tones; a chord requiring no resolution.Well now when we consider the definition of concord, and look at some of the lovely Concord watch styles, you can really see why the company gave it that name. Take the Concord Mariner watch, for instance. It's material, lines, proportions, and movements are truly concordal. A Concord Mariner watch is the ultimate symbol of harmony and aesthetic unity. Why? It's sleek. The gorgeously durable stainless steel case and bracelet, scratch resistant sapphire crystal case, and seamless Swiss Automatic movement make it more than a watch��it's a treaty, a compact, a covenant with the gods of watchmaking. A covenant that promises the ultimate in unwavering reliability, superior functionality, a timelessly versatile style, and unmatched form. A Concord Mariner watch is an agreement with beauty and functionality, which just so happens to be two of the most desirable traits in just about everything.

Concord C1 Radar ChronometerIn January 2011 the small Swiss watchmaker will start selling its new Concord C1 Radar automatic chronometer watch.As I noted in April 2009, I do not really like Concord’s design language. It is original and bold, but it grates on the ear as well.However, the new Concord C1 Radar model may be of some interest to those looking for an aggressive-looking sports watch.Its bezel with eight rubber “crenellations” that protect a 3.3 mm thick sapphire crystal suddenly strikes a chord when combined with cantilevered hour indexes on the engine-turned dial with black PVD treatment.The open-worked hour and minute hands, as well as a stylized subsidiary seconds hand at 6 o’clock look surprisingly congruent to the overall aggressive styling of the watch.Although the Kaki technofiber strap with its strange brownish color looks absolutely out of place here, one can always change it for something more appropriate. Like a black rubber strap, for example.What I like the most here is the legibility of its dial.The green SuperLuminova looks extremely contrast to the black PVD-coated face of the watch and will certainly provide superb legibility in any lighting conditions.The watch is powered by a well-known La Joux-Perret Caliber 3532 automatic movement.Based on the ubiquitous ETA Caliber 2892 with a seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock and a big date window at 12 o’clock, the movement is a COSC-certified chronometer, and is not only very accurate, but is also quite robust.The Swiss watch maker plans to present the Concord C1 Radar in the beginning of the next year at Baselworld 2011 international show.Its MSRP is predicted to be around $8900.
