Watchmaking’s Free Spirit
The ambassador of a new generation ofTwatches, the C1 Tourbillon Gravity thrusts Concord into the era of innovation and a firmly futuristic approach. The C1 Tourbillon Gravity is astounding in more than one way. A tourbillon disconnected from the case, an unusual seconds indication, a flyback chronograph, a trust index display: this whole range of specific features symbolise the audacity of a brand that reinvented itself just one year ago.
The sturdiness, originality and overall equilibrium characterising the construction of the C1 Tourbillon Gravity testify to the talent of the creative minds behind it. Developed in close cooperation with BNB Concept, this timepiece was conceived, elaborated and assembled in twelve months. The design, created by Blade Design, portrays the engineering of the timepiece in an unexpected, daring and cutting-edge stage-setting.
The first challenge was to create a tourbillon watch, but without placing the tourbillon inside the watch. Concord build its tourbillon according to an orthogonal mechanical concept. The vertical device is immediately visible on the wrist, radiating an authoritative and almost martial stature.
The second challenge is a rebellious seconds display that goes its own way. The luminescent seconds appear through an open window on the side of the tourbillon carriage, and since the latter is vertical, are perfectly visible on the face of the watch.
The third challenge lay in optimised technical sophistication and an irreverent design. The majestic C1 Tourbillon Gravity makes an authoritative statement in a case measuring 48.5mm in diameter and 18.5mm thick. The machined metal face of the C1 Tourbillon Gravity adopts Concord’s hallmark layered construction. Its construction, now a Concord brand signature, features excellent shock absorbing properties and exceptional sturdiness. The C1 Tourbillon Gravity, issued in a limited edition of 25, embodies Concord’s audacity and creative energy. |
