Swiss craftsmanship and quality materials are the soul of every Concord Watch. Each has a brilliant Swiss quartz or mechanical movement, a sapphire crystal, and is made from solid gold or stainless steel. Each detail is hand-polished: Dial, hands, markers, crown, pushers and case. Every Concord watch is water-resistant and is pressure tested at least twice. Concord Watch Company S.A. was founded nearly 100 years ago in Bienne as a manufacturer of high-quality watches with thin movements, particularly for the American market. After World War I, Concord was known as a jeweler extraordinaire with private-label gem-encrusted platinum watches for Tiffany & Co, Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier. Concord watches were once used as the official gift of U.S Presidents to Heads-of-State and have become the timepiece to mark life’s momentous occasions.
