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.

Concord introduced a new C1 Chronograph, with a special blue treatment, last month at the Baselworld show. Like the original C1 Chronograph, it comes in a large, but wearable 44 mm size. It has the same signature vulcanized rubber around the bezel and on the crown and pushers, that is seen on all C1 timepieces. Inside, is a nicely decorated automatic chronograph movement (an ETA Valgranges A07.211) with blued screws and a blackened oscillating weight. The dial is carbon fiber and blue, with an exposed date indicator and a three subdials, at 6, 9 and 12 o'clock. The coolest feature, and what sets this apart from all other C1 chronographs, is the blue PVD case. It has basically been run through a washing machine - giving it a faded blue "destructed look".
