MTF shares exclusive 'paparazzi' photos of the Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity from its first Asian stop in Singapore, offering a real-world glimpse beyond press releases. This post provides valuable insights into the watch's design and wearability, including details on upcoming production changes.

Remember previous postings about the Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity by 'Night Watchman' and 'Secret Squirrel'?

We also had PuristS photos by Marcus Hanke from Basel.

CEO Vincent Perriard secretly touched down to update the local distributors.

The working Concord C1 Tourbillon arrived in Singapore today - the first Asian country after BaselWorld. Like a tropical thunderstorm, it'll be here today and gone tomorrow!

Since both Night Watchman and Secret Squirrel are in Switzerland, we had to depend on our local papparazzi from TimeWerke magazine for these real-world photos; thanks be to them.

There will be one more change to the final production model. No - not the change to the seconds indicator that I suggested.....but the crown will be more user-friendly. The fancy term is ergonomic smile       that's "bigger crown" for the layman!

 



Check out the DLC (diamond like coating) on the back  -  cool, eh?

"Audacious Disruption!" as Vincent Perriard keeps saying.

 

Regards,

MTF

even though it appears large. Recall that Marcus Hanke's excellent report had earlier mentioned that the watch is 47mm in diameter and had a thickness of 13.5mm and "does not look too chunky on the wrist". Going by the pictures, it does seem wearable and not uncomfortable on the wrist.

I love how the C1 fits on my wrist, and the lugless case makes it even easier for the smallest wrists to wear the watch since the rubber strap immediately goes downward to your wrist. I use the 1st hole on the deployant strap for the C1 and it fits my wrist fine IMO Cheers, Anthony
