Happy couples do everything together �C they share meals, vacations, and nights out�� so why not watches? This thought first occurred to me while shopping for a Christmas present for my fianc��. Notice the word "fianc��" �C we're just starting out, which means even though I want to buy her the world, the price tag can't be too high in the stratosphere.After some clicking around, I decided to shop at an online discount watch retailer, and a Concord Mariner Watch for ladies immediately caught my eye. There's quite a selection available, but the model that really attracted me was the black dial diamond Concord Ladies Watch, which pairs the elegance of diamonds with an edgy black dial. And boy, are there diamonds �C this baby has diamonds all around the bezel, as well as diamonds marking every o'clock on the dial.Anyway, back to sharing: While browsing watches for my lady, I found a Concord Mariner Watch for men that left me likewise entranced. This time, I was salivating over a stainless steel model with a blue dial, embodying that sophisticated sports look.At www.wonderwatches.com, I saved more than 50% per purchase �C so why not buy two?

Not too long ago on this blog I put forth a healthy dose of skepticism () as to the potential of the unconventional and nonconforming Concord C1 QuantumGravity watch.?Ǭ?I further questioned the QuantumGravity’s ability to live up to expectations that were being set by an effusive and over-the-top marketing campaign in the lead up to Baselworld 2009.Now after seeing some live photos and now live video of this watch, I confess that I am even more intrigued by it, but in a good way.?Ǭ?The Concord C1 QuantumGravity is growing on me!?Ǭ?What can I say – it seems that my dismay was not with the watch itself but its verbose and uneccesarily elaborate “pre-Basel” marketing campaign!On closer study and reflection, helped by and – I am of the opinion that the C1 QuantumGravity – and all its craftsmanship, creativity and sheer ingenuity – is worthy of praise.?Ǭ?As is the construction of?Ǭ?not 1 but 10 of these watches – I’m sure that stringing those cable-stayed bridges is no small feat!?Ǭ?On a technical level, the C1 QuantumGravity’s credentials speak for themself – the bi-axial tourbillon, the brilliant (day or night) vertical power reserve, and the cleverly constructed winding crown are just a few noteworthy features of this cutting-edge watch.I dare say this watch has lived up to its mysterious and unconventional ways, and I hope to one day see it in person whereupon I can render final judgement!Picture by Bernard Werk @ Kyle Stults is Founder & President of , a new online community for watch owners, collectors & enthusiasts.
