Do you ever wish you could travel through time with the flick of a wrist? With this midsize Concord ladies watch, you can! This luxurious timepiece features retro details straight out of the 1960s, complemented by a more modern attention to geometry. Where will you wind up? Probably 1985, if you split the difference.The midsize La Scala is most striking for its barrel-shaped case, a creative choice that may remind you of the Bulova wrist watch collection of bangles. This unique stainless steel case is highlighted even further by diamonds embedded in the stainless steel bezel’s four sides. These diamonds are arranged to fit triangular inserts arranged at random, creating a joyful pattern that would look quite at home on a 1960s shift dress.But the diamonds don’t end there. This watch also features eight diamond hour markers embedded in the mother-or-pearl dial, in addition to silver Arabic indicators at 3, 6, 9, and 12. As a final component, this Concord ladies watch features alligator leather straps available in three vibrant colors: purple, green, and blue.

Well isn’t this *interesting*. ?Ǭ�A recent note from Concord announcing the company’s new “official fine art collection for mechanical watch and interior design enthusiasts.” Wall Art? For interior design enthusiasts? ?Ǭ�Seriously, what is this?OK, OK watch companies create some cool “accessories” every now and then – for example we have seen cuff links from Patek Philippe, cuff links from Stepan Sarpaneva, fine pens from Girard-Perregaux, Montblanc, and others. And also now we have the new cell phone coming from Ulysse Nardin, and the long ago announced Tag Heuer’s Meridiist cell phone (by the way whatever happened to this?)But now we hear of wall art from Concord? ?Ǭ�This seems just ridiculous in my opinion. ?Ǭ�I think the occasional jewelry type accessory (cuff links, pens etc) have a place in the lineup, but at the end of the day these watch companies should stick with what they do best – make watches. ?Ǭ�Branching out into wall art seems simply absurd to me.What do you think? ?Ǭ�Feel free to share your comments below.Kyle Stults is Founder & President of , a new online community for watch owners, collectors & enthusiasts.
