With Baselworld 2009 not far off, Swiss watchmaker Concord has revealed tantalizing images of an avant garde new timepiece, the C1 Quantum Gravity.

511 components come together in unison to create what has to be one of the most incredibly complex watches ever built.

An aerial bi-axial tourbillon mechanism. A vertical power reserve. Individualist seconds. A stripped-down dial and spectacular volumes: the latest specimen from the C Lab Series defies all theories !

Concord has created a Pre-Baselworld teaser website, which offers some glimpses of the Quantum Gravity watch, and the “C-Lab” team behind its genesis.
