Details and delights

March 15th 2009 - Our case workshop specially developped a sand-blasting effect and process that gives both roughness and shimmering. We at Concord love also the pattern left by the machine tool on the steel. Do you?

Bits and Pieces

March 13th 2009 - Some inner parts of the case (or of the dial, depending on your viewpoint). 3D luminova numbers make their impression!

The secret crown

March 12th 2009 - Revealed when a top button is pushed down, this deploying crown must be rotated before use. Engeineers at the C-Lab love challenges and we thought we would ask them to design a smart quick-release mechanism - Gecoh SA made it happen. Mission completed for all.

March 9th 2009 - Not only this “officier-style” hinged lid hides the undesirable sight of hared skin, but it’s just plainly COOL !

March 8th 2009 - Pieces are being assembled together to give a first proto of this super-duper case. Congrats to the finishing and polishing team for having blown us away with this amazing mix of polished, sand-blasted and satin-brushed Grade-5 titanium!
