Concord Lady Impresario New Versions

Concord presents a trio of exquisite new additions to the Lady Impresario range, that are set to impress lovers of fine watches while at the same time raising the bar for smart styling and deft design.

With a slew of new men’s and women’s models, Concord has revitalised and refreshed the Impresario line, which was first introduced in 1998. This new range preserves the Maison’s rich heritage of watchmaking, with a decidedly contemporary touch, thus deftly combining tradition and history with modernity.

The compact slim-line 32 mm size of the Lady Impresario is just right for the wrist of a lady and these watches stand apart with their unique coin-edged finish. The three new models stand out with the lustrous sparkle of their mother-of-pearl dials.

All of them look decidedly distinguished: one with a stainless steel case and white and blue mother of pearl dial combined with a stainless steel bracelet, another with a stainless steel and red gold case framing a white and blue mother of pearl dial and a two-tone stainless steel/red gold bracelet. Both these beauties come with a small seconds window in blue, positioned just above the 6 o’clock marker. The third timepiece comes with a stainless case framing a brilliant blue mother of pearl dial and a stainless steel bracelet.

Studded with 104 diamonds, each of these watches exude a resplendent note of stylish elegance. Water resistant to 50 metres, these watches come with rhodium plated numerals and hands and anti-reflective sapphire coated glass.

Concord True Delirium Lady

Concord presents a special edition Delirium Lady in tribute to the legendary collection that established the brand in the Swiss Watchmaking Industry with the creation of the thinnest watch in the world.

Founded over a century ago, Concord has a proud history of ground-breaking innovations in watchmaking. This has included the supply of high quality watch movements to prestigious jewelry manufacturers as well as a reputation as an archetypal innovator in Clock design. Not the least of these achievements was the famous Concord Ring Clock presented by President Truman to the heads of state at the Potsdam Peace Conference, while, anticipating fashion becoming as important as function, the company designed the covered bracelet for women in the 1950s.

In 1979, when slimness became an important criterion, Concord introduced the world’s thinnest watch, evocatively named the Delirium. Measuring less than 2 mm thick in all, the slim quartz calendar timepiece with a center seconds hand went on sale immediately at Tiffany’s & Co in New York. This revolutionary model made news all over the world. That year’s Basel Fair showcased an entire Delirium collection encrusted with some 1,500 diamonds, followed some months later by an even thinner model of less than 1.50 mm. In 1980, the Concord Delirium IV created the next sensation by being the first wristwatch in history to break the 1 mm barrier, becoming a collector’s item of unique value.

A decade after the production of its most recent sibling, the 2016 Delirium Lady comes in glowing 18K rose gold, with or without 36 magnificent diamonds surrounding its classic rectangular case for a burst of additional sophistication.

A silver–toned dial with a choice of elegant painted Roman and contrasting gold baton hands is perfectly offset by a stylish black alligator strap. This iconic timepiece is powered by an ETA quartz caliber and is water-resistant to 30 m. And as an undisputed plus, the 2016 Concord Delirium Lady appears in still dainty yet subtly sturdier 3.3 mm iteration.

Concord Impresario Lady in Black MOP Dial

Concord unveils two new timepieces in their Impresario Lady range, that continue to set new high points in styling and design while paying tribute to clear-sighted women who are an inspiration to others: leaders, visionaries and entrepreneurs.

First introduced in 1998, the Impresario line has made a proud comeback this year with new models for men and women. This new range preserves Concord’s rich heritage of watchmaking, with a decidedly contemporary touch, thus deftly combining tradition and history with modernity.

The dainty 32 mm size is just right for the wrist of a lady and the watches stand apart with their unique coin-edged finish. The two new models come with a black mother of pearl dial and are offered in stainless steel and stainless steel laced with rose gold casings.

The roundness of the cases is pleasingly offset by gently undulating stainless steel bracelets. The lustrous black mother of pearl dial sets off the slim line Arabic numerals and indexes plated in Rhodium or Rose Gold quite nicely, while at the same time raising magical visions of the night sky set out in star-spangled splendour.

A total of 48 sparkling diamonds on the dial and 96 on the bracelet seal the deal for elegance, reminiscent of the woman of the world setting out to conquer new horizons. This is truly a watch made for the svelte urbanite, a lady all set to sparkle in the bright lights of the city’s chic night spots.

The new Concord Impresario’s clean, contemporary good looks are complemented by stainless steel crowns. In harmony with Concord’s keen awareness of the needs of modern day leaders, driven by a concern to achieve and enable a sustainable work/life balance, the Impresario is water-resistant to 50 meters and powered by an ultra-reliable Swiss quality quartz movement.

Concord Impresario

Concord pays tribute to clear-sighted visionaries with the launch of its distinctive new Impresario for men and women in gleaming 18 ct rose gold and stainless steel. In proud keeping with its name – drawn from the Italian word “impresa” meaning “an enterprise or undertaking” – the Impresario pays tribute to the those men and women around the globe who are an inspiration to others: leaders, visionaries and entrepreneurs.

In early Egyptian civilisation, the falcon represented the word for “guide”, while in the sport of hunting with falcons – closely associated with nobility – this imposing bird embodies keen vision, boldness and speed. Such powerful symbolism was a natural choice to illustrate the unique nature of the Impresario. Epitomizing liberty, freedom and victory, this noble bird depicts the visionary power and determination of those for whom this character-filled timepiece was designed.

First introduced in 1998, the Impresario makes a proud comeback as this season’s key innovation for the brand. Perpetuating Concord’s rich heritage of watchmaking tradition, the relaunch of the Impresario marks the third pillar to be released as part of the brand’s strong “heritage” product strategy, ingeniously bringing this formerly great collection once again into the spotlight of contemporary watchmaking with a harmonious new blend of tradition and modernity.

Offered in a 41 mm dial for men and a dainty 32 mm counterpart for ladies, and distinguished by its easily distinguishable coin-edged finish, the Impresario boasts the only round case in the Concord collections. Cases on both these spectacular pieces come in 18 ct rose gold and stainless steel, their roundness pleasingly offset by gently undulating stainless steel bracelets with rose gold-plated links.

A gleaming silver-toned dial with date window at 3 o’clock on the men’s Impresario is perfectly matched by a corresponding white mother-of-pearl option on the ladies’ version. On the latter, trademark Concord elegance strikes again with the addition of 48 perfect diamonds on the dial and 96 on the bracelet.

Both men and women will enjoy reading off time in step with the elegantly slim hands gliding over ultra-chic rose gold-plated Arabic numerals and indexes subtly reminiscent of a falcon’s beak.

The new Concord Impresario’s clean, contemporary good looks are complemented by stainless steel crowns. In harmony with Concord’s keen awareness of the needs of modern day leaders, driven by a concern to achieve and enable a sustainable work/life balance, the Impresario is water-resistant to 50m and powered by an ultra-reliable Swiss quality quartz movement.

Concord Saratoga Lady Black PVD and Rose Gold

Powerful in jet black, deep and decisive, the Concord Saratoga Lady in black PVD-treated stainless steel and warm, scintillating rose gold is the latest introduction within this prestigious collection, infused with its luxurious heritage. This new design is inspired by the strength and beauty of a black thoroughbred race horse, its muscular flanks and angles, the sheen of its coat and the grace of its movements are reflected in the watch design’s construction and materials.

This striking Concord Saratoga Lady model tempers the dark, slightly masculine edge with the indisputable feminine glamour of rose gold. This harmonious melding of two contrasting materials gives the watch a sense of dynamism and strength. The embellishment of 32 sparkling VS quality diamonds on the case further elevates the stature of this timepiece, making it the perfect companion for darkly romantic soirees, an ideal party accessory and the ultimate addition to complement festive attire. Teamed with a velvet tuxedo suit, this would be the ultimate power play of evening dressing, highlighting the sexy gender subversion.

Projecting a sensual beauty thorough the warmth of rose gold and the shimmer of fine diamonds, this watch is powered by an ETA 8 ¾ Calibre quartz movement with hours, minutes, and seconds functions. Its 31mm diameter case is fashioned in black PVD treated stainless steel with polished 18K 5N rose gold decors, and topped by an antireflective sapphire crystal. Presented on a black PVD-treated stainless steel link bracelet with rose gold-plated accents, this extraordinary timepiece is water resistant to 30 meters. In tribute to the line’s thoroughbred origins and inspiration, the case-back of the new Concord Saratoga Lady Black PVD and Rose Gold is embossed with the emblematic horse design.

This is a watch that delights in playing with contrasts – from masculine to feminine, powerful to sensual, practical to glamorous – and it achieves this skillful blend, creating an utterly refined and classic timepiece.
