Concord- C1 Pure

The Concord C1 Chronograph, destined for men who highly appreciate advanced technologies and innovations, has been enjoying tremendous success. Now, the brand has created a new variation of the timepiece - Concord C1 Pure in monochrome white. The watch with a new, powerful temperament is designed for active, decisive men and women who know how to control things and manage time and move one step ahead of it.

The distinctive shape, bold dimensions, and unmatched performance of the Concord C1 Pure reflect the energy of the modern lifestyle. The timepiece featuring a contemporary unisex silhouette is meant to become a trendsetter in the highly competitive field of new-century watch-designing.

The Concord C1 Pure, a COSC-certified chronometer, showcases a majestic case, 44 mm in diameter and 16.7 mm thick. Despite its considerable size, the watch is constructed to embrace the slimmest of wrists, as it has incorporated the unique attachment system that lacks case horns, ensuring that the timepiece fits perfectly the wrist shape. The white exterior enhances the model's drive and energy, accentuating new aspects of its construction. The diamonds sparkling on the bezel and case middle add a touch of elegance and luxury.

The 20-atmosphere water-resistant steel case of the C1 Pure is provided by a protective metal ring that is covered with white rubber, fitted on the middle of the case. The protective ring is attached by self-blocking side screws. It displays eight tabs extending over the bezel. The system is also responsible for protecting an impressive, 3.3-mm-thick anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The winding-crown, produced from steel, composite materials and rubber, comprises seven interlocking parts for extra strength.

The dial of the Concord C1 Pure fascinates the glance due to its daring workmanship and monochrome design. The timepiece is created to reflect the superior quality requirements and continuous quest for utmost performance. The structure of the watch's white garb reminds fiberglass. The layered construction plays smartly with light and relief, emphasizing its perspective and readability. The dial reveals the following details:

• The luminescent hour and minute hands with taut, spirited lines display asymmetrical cutouts.
• The running seconds sub-dial positioned at 9 o'clock, a constantly rotating disk, is based on the complex development research.
• At 3 o'clock, the date gives an impression it is fading in and out of the semi-transparent dial aperture.
• The 30-minute and 12-hour counters are found at 12 and 6 o'clock.
• The sweep seconds hand in Concord blue nicely matches the points of the running seconds sub-dial.

The transparent case-back allows true watch connoisseurs to admire a 25-jewel self-winding movement oscillating at 28, 8000 vibrations per hour. The movement guarantees a 48-hour power reserve. The rotor finished with rhodium displays the C1 logo and the ribbed Cotes de Geneve pattern.

The Concord C1 Pure goes on the finely matching white vulcanized rubber strap provided with a velvety matte finish and equipped with a double folding clasp.

Concord- C1 Tourbillon Gravity

The Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity astonishes by the whole range of specific features. Just imagine - a tourbillon disconnected from the case, an unconventional seconds indication, a flyback chronograph, a trust index display - all these innovations are accumulated in a single timepiece.

The result is the creation of a provocative watch equipped with a complex mechanism, an amazing expression of an inventive spirit and an absolutely new watchmaking approach. The design of the C1 Tourbillon Gravity was created by Blade Design that managed to present the engineering of the watch in a totally unexpected and daring way.

                                                 The first surprise is the independent tourbillon placed alongside the body of the watch. The tourbillon seems to be released from the mechanism. Fitted external to both the dial and the case, the tourbillon allows more free space inside the watch, so watchmakers are able to create other complications. The tourbillon is linked to the rest of the mechanism by a perpendicular pinion. The tourbillon carriage produces a powerful visual effect, being housed in a crankcase laterally screwed to the case.

The vertical device is instantly visible on the wrist. The upper and lower bridges of the tourbillon carriage are produced from aluminum-lithium, a unique high-tech material widely applied in the aerospace industry. Aluminum-lithium is characterized by remarkable resistance and exceptional longevity. The alloy is anti-corrosive and anti-magnetic. Moreover, it offers the best compromise between sturdiness and lightness.

Small Seconds

The rebellious seconds display is one more amazing feature of the new Concord watch, with its mechanism breaking out of the dial and the display transferring time into completely new dimension.

A slim black aluminum strip with the engraved seconds numerals is fixed to the lower bridge of the tourbillon, having thus acquired full interdependence with the carriage spinning on its axis once a minute. The luminescent seconds are perfectly visible through an open window on the side of the tourbillon carriage. The innovative mechanism is even more surprising than the small seconds display on the C1 Chronograph.
