Ah, I love my Concord ladies watch. Whenever I wear it, I think of Concord, Massachusetts, one of my favorite places to visit.It's such a quaint little town that's seeped in American history and literature. It seems that all my favorite authors spent time in Concord.Nathaniel Hawthorne, for example. Writer of two of my favorite books, “The Scarlett Letter” and “The House of Seven Gables”, Hawthorne, with his wife, rented the gorgeous cottage, The Old Manse, for $100 a year, back in 1842.The young Louisa May Alcott, of “Little Women” fame, lived with her family in another historic house, The Wayside. 13-year-old Louisa May had her own bedroom; in 1846, she wrote in her journal that she enjoyed being alone in her room, and that her mother had made it very pretty.Another Concord native was David Henry Thoreau, a poet, naturalist, philosopher, writer, historian, and everything in between. His brilliant essay, “Civil Disobedience”, urges readers to be cautions of governments, as they can do much to stifle individuality.Next time you wear your Concord mariner watch, think of Hawthorne, Alcott and Thoreau, and of all the creativity and revolution that the humble town of Concord inspired.

I'm a big fan of luxury watches, I own over a dozen and will never be caught without oen strapped firmly against my wrist. However, I'm strictly a Concord Man �C I won't wear any luxury watch designed by anyone or any company other than Concord.My wife (girlfriend at the time) even bought me a gorgeous Bulova wrist watch at one point, and as appreciative as I was, it never left my drawer. And simply put, it's because I only wear Concord.When people ask me why I'll only wear a Concord watch, I give them a curt, simple answer that usually only leads to more questions. And here it is:"On top of being a Concord watch fan, I'm also a history buff."If that answer confuses you, well join the club. Let me exaplain: In 1945, U.S. President Harry S. Truman presented Concord-made clocks to Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet Generalissimo Joseph Stalin at the Potsdam peace conference in Berlin. The pair was so happy with the Concord clocks that Truman personally wrote to the Concord clock company thanking them.So keep your Bulova wrist watch. I'm perfectly content to be in the company of Harry S. Truman and Winston Churchill.Stalin I could do without though.
