It's been a while since I have written about Concord. If you remember two years ago they came out with the new C1 which was Concord's way of turning into a futuristic brand by stealing design concepts from AP. They even came out with their own Tourbillion! How original? Now for this years Basel 2010, they seem to think they can dazzle the collectors g-spot somehow by having the algebraic formula of the case design inscribed on the crystal of the new Concord C1 Code Chronograph. The watch is very cool to look at from a distance, but the problem is that when you look at it closely, it looks as though someone came all over the crystal. As it is a chronograph function in the C1, which is quite distracting as there is always a lot going on, to ad this formula to the watch is kind of taking the piss. The watch hasn't even really been a major success for the brand to make these kind of experiments. Although, I do appreciate their balls to execute something different. Overall this watch gets a piss off! from me for Basel 2010. Enjoy the technical specs, and if you do buy this watch make sure to request for a squidgy.
