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.

What is really important regarding the watch manufacturing industry is that the watches released should leave a trace in the tradition of watch manufacturing, because a watch that brings something new propels the fame of its brand as well. Concord's contribution to the world of watch *** is indisputable, as every new timepiece introduced on the market by Concord is the ultimate statement of innovation, progress and originality. Concord has always been against static and conventional designs and the fact that the new Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity Watch won the special prize "Watch Design of the Year" in 2008 is proof enough of the brand's success. A worldwide appreciated brand, Concord's evolution is unstoppable as the brand is fully dedicated to experiment with new concepts and complicated technical movements in order to create a landmark timepiece for the watch *** tradition. The new Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity Watch represents Concord's vision towards technical excellence and unique design, and the prestige of this watch was validated by being awarded a special prize for design, given by Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve 2008 at an event held in the capital of watch manufacturing, Geneva. The futuristic design of the new Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity Watch implies an even more progressive technical movement. This new watch seems to come from the future, with powerful and complicated design lines and with multiple functions displayed, this watch looks more like an instrument rather than a wristwatch. The case of the new Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity Watch measures 48.5 mm in diameter and is made of rubber-sheathed white gold and is covered in highly resistant sapphire crystal to assure a safe and reliable system of protection against shocks. The dial seems complicated but is quite easy to read, as it displays the main functions of hour, minute and second, a touribillon function, a power reserve window and also a trust index. The dial was not easily constructed as it comprises 12 pieces assembled together into creating a skeleton dial of unique appearance in this industry. The prize for the design of the year was well-worth it and didn't come as a surprise to anybody at Baselworld 2008 event. Regarding the technical movement provided by the new Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity Watch we can say that it rises to the importance of its design. The movement is hand-wound and goes by the name of Concord C100 Calibre, providing tourbillon, power reserve and chronograph function, all in one watch. The strap is specific to Concord due to its vulcarbonized rubber material and matches perfectly the sporty design of the watch, even though it's equipped with an elegant white gold clasp.
