Concord C1 BlackSpider teaser image revealedAhead of Baselworld 2011, the Swiss watchmaker Concord has just released a teaser image of its upcoming watch: the new Concord C1 BlackSpider.Although the teaser looks, ahem, like a teaser, the impression that it makes is nothing but intimidating. I guess, that was the idea.As you one can gather looking at the teaser image, the watch will be released in a fairly large octagonal case with the movement taking only a small portion of the real estate.The main “cage” is connected to the case with eight attachments imitating eight legs of an arachnid.All in all, the watch will probably look like a small birdeater comfortably sitting on a wrist. It makes wince, really.

I'm a big fan of luxury watches, I own over a dozen and will never be caught without oen strapped firmly against my wrist. However, I'm strictly a Concord Man �C I won't wear any luxury watch designed by anyone or any company other than Concord.My wife (girlfriend at the time) even bought me a gorgeous Bulova wrist watch at one point, and as appreciative as I was, it never left my drawer. And simply put, it's because I only wear Concord.When people ask me why I'll only wear a Concord watch, I give them a curt, simple answer that usually only leads to more questions. And here it is:"On top of being a Concord watch fan, I'm also a history buff."If that answer confuses you, well join the club. Let me exaplain: In 1945, U.S. President Harry S. Truman presented Concord-made clocks to Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet Generalissimo Joseph Stalin at the Potsdam peace conference in Berlin. The pair was so happy with the Concord clocks that Truman personally wrote to the Concord clock company thanking them.So keep your Bulova wrist watch. I'm perfectly content to be in the company of Harry S. Truman and Winston Churchill.Stalin I could do without though.
