concord c1 jewelry unsex wristwatch

If you're looking for some avant garde and elegant timepiece that doesn't brag too much, you better have this Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity.Its cutting edge design is brought by the tourbillion that can be spotted at the outer circumference of the case itself, unlike the other tourbillion watches where it is placed on the dial. Another of its unique feature is the separate luminescent seconds display at the side of the tourbillion carriage.The watch is made of 18k white gold and white gold bezel with seven black rubber-coated for enhancement. Its back case is also made of 18k gold with Diamond-Like Carbon treatment, and as well as 18k white gold at the crown with black rubber guard. With its use of somewhat hidden gold elements, this watch doesn't boast too much, although its entirety already makes it an eye catcher.Its dial is composed of 12 parts which includes four sapphire crystals. It is made of machined metal with openings that lets you see its movement.The watch has a power-reserve indicator found between 7 and 8 o'clock, a trust index display just opposite the power-reserve indicator which indicates the balance amplitude, and a flyback chronograph counter at 5 o'clock.This Concord timepiece measures 48.55mm in diameter and 18.5mm thick that is mounted on a black vulcanized rubber strap with 18k white gold folding clasp with the Concord logo. This adds a little of that sporty look and making the watch fit for both formal and casual wear.

and here it is….drumroll….”vertical and liquid power reserve indicator” !?Ǭ?OK, very anti-climactic, I know!?Ǭ?But thus far it seems that Concord is trying to build some buzz (hype?) in advance of the launch of this new watch at BASELWORLD 2009 by revealing information about it, bit by bit.?Ǭ?Ǭ?Ǭ?My question is, will it work??Ǭ?I, for one, am a bit confused.?Ǭ?Here’s what we know about the features of this watch thus far:A case measuring 47.5mm and over 22mm in depthAn “aerial bi-axial tourbillon mechanism”, further described as “a structure that makes emptiness its core material”Tourbillon carriage fitted outside the movement and caseA “3D dial” that “strives to display the passing of time” (hopefully more successful than )Function elements fitted to the site of the caseCable-stayed bridges“Impressive” sapphire crystalOfficer-style hinged backRight-angled skeletonized bridgesHmmm…my concern is that the unconventional nature of this watch is being over-played to the point that its unveiling at BASELWORLD could leave people wondering what exactly they were hoping to be excited about.?Ǭ?I also fear that the price will be in the stratosphere, making it unreachable for all but the most deep-pocketed collectors.?Ǭ?Which also means that the C1 QuantumGravity could be forever subject to opinions of watch owners, collectors & enthusiasts who can only judge this watch from their computer screens.The pictures we have seen of the C1 QuantumGravity thus far I can only describe as “unusual” and equally as mystifying as the description of its features:Certainly keeps with the spirt of nonconformity and creativity that Concord is trying to sell!?Ǭ?I admit to being curious.?Ǭ?However I wonder if this watch will live up to its mysterious ways.?Ǭ?Ǭ?What do you think?Kyle Stults is Founder & President of , a new online community for watch owners, collectors & enthusiasts.
