saratoga concord watch 1392

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.

[ via Concord ]Free, disruptive. The latest Concord specimen grants time a space that befits its very nature: free from constraints or ties. With an aerial bi-axial Tourbillon mechanism, a structure that makes emptiness its core material, a 3D dial, functional elements fitted to the side of the case and an industrial and minimalist spirit, the C1 QuantumGravity timepiece defies all laws, including that of watch*** logic and most of all, of gravity. The Tourbillon carriage, which is fitted outside the movement and case where it is suspended, literally, rotates in a multi-dimensional manner on two axes, the main one being vertical. The design of this disconcerting time device borrows its rigid and light structure from renowned cable-stayed bridges; an extended arm of cables fastened to the plate holds the cage in a vertical position, thus highlighting the sensation of autonomy. Beneath the impressive sapphire crystal lies a panorama at its most extensive, giving shape to time, which becomes almost immaterial. While the dial strives to display the passing of time, it above all highlights empty space. The depth of its field of vision is dizzying and the feeling of levitation exhilarating. The officer-style hinged back excels in revealing the geometric circuit of the right-angled skeletonized bridges in a gigantic case measuring 47.5 mm in diameter and over 22 mm in depth. Its infinite precision holds many more temporal surprises... The C1 QuantumGravity timepiece, designed by the "C Lab Series" team in conjunction with BNB Concept, takes watch*** experimentation even further. It follows the impulse of a brand that defends its conviction of time inevitably linked to space. In this parallel and unconventional world, infatuation with non-conformity underscores Concord's creative spirit. C1 QuantumGravity is the latest living proof.
