concord ladies watch la tour white gold

Rigorous and bold, the chronograph C1 declares its ambitions by taking robustness to the very limits of possibility, while dressing its imposing case in gold and diamonds. At the impending Basel 2008, Concord is itching to show off its latest jeweled C1 Chronograph. The new diamond-set versions of their dynamic C1 Chronograph watch features complex 44mm cases crafted from 18K white gold, that feature 53 individual elements is set with 184 diamonds. Offering two models, the first one has a white rubber strap and matching decorative elements on the bezel, as well as a dial in metal and carbon fiber. The second watch has a black rubber strap and a ruthenium dial accented by 259 round brilliant diamonds. This model also features extensive diamond coverage on the top surface of the bezel, and the strap attachment area.

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.
