C1 TORONTO BLACK WORLDTIMER

C1 TORONTO BLACK WORLDTIMER
Time reveals its dark side

47 mm diameter, 53 parts, and water-resistant to 20 ATM: a case that portrays the desire for conquest. And what conquests! Time. The world. Technology.

The dark and brooding allure reflects a sense of seamless performance in measuring time without borders.

The C1 WorldTimer is an intransigent instrument that refuses to fit into any one category. As easy to handle as it is to read, with a second time zone displayed in a wholly unprecedented manner, this watch confirms Concord’s commitment to anchoring its watches in a world of audacity and innovation.

The dusky C1 WorldTimer imprisons time in an athletic case. Built in accordance with the principles of strength specific to Concord, it is wrought in stainless steel coated with DLC (diamond-like carbon), a combination of the graphite and diamond forms of carbon. This extremely dense coating has an amorphous structure, similar to that of ultra-resistant glass, and offers excellent tribological properties, i.e. it possesses an extremely low friction coefficient combined with remarkable chemical inertia making it of particular interest for mechanical applications. Frequently used in the automobile industry, especially in F1, it features an unequaled range of properties: it is anti-corrosive, scratch-resistant, self-lubricating and hard but flexible; DLC also lends itself to an array of attractive aesthetic applications.

A feature of the C1 WorldTimer collection, the dial design highlights a second time zone through interplay of dark and light contrasts. The dial’s aesthetics underscore the orderly construction of the time data. The GMT indication is expressed through an arc that displays the world under a new sky using an original device based on superimposed hour and city discs that rotate on demand. The display mechanism, that hides nothing of its mode of operation, plays on transparency and luminosity to accentuate the depth effect of the dial.

Simply pressing the button at 2 o’clock selects the destination city activating the information in the GMT window. The time in the corresponding zone is instantly displayed alongside the relevant city. An additional corrector hidden in the side of the case at 4 o’clock serves to modify the hours if required (particularly when switching from summer to winter time). As the changes only affect the hours, the central minutes hand remains the point of reference. A simple gesture and an intuitive approach for an admirably efficient response.

The limited edition C1 Toronto Black Worldtimer, which was conceived with the cooperation of Bryan Colangelo, President & General Manager of the Toronto Raptors, has been created to raise funds for the Raptors Foundation for Kids. As Classic Creations, the exclusive dealer for the C1 Toronto Black Worldtimer sells each of the twenty rare, individually numbered timepieces; a portion of the proceeds from both Concord & Classic Creations will go to the Raptors Foundation for Kids.

What makes the C1Toronto black Worldtimer distinctive? It’s individuality that is reflected in the Eastern Standard Time, represent on the city disc by Toronto in scarlet red, distinguishing it from the rest of the world in black. Its scarlet minute circle embraces a textured black dial, swept by a second subtle grey time zone. The date window is outlined with a fine blood vessel. At 2 o’clock, a carmine pushbutton lays siege to the case and seems to eclipse the black-coated crown. The visual impact is intensely athletic yet elegant.
