Concord Year of Dragon - Enamel Dial

Details

Enamel Dragon 

An exceptionally rare and captivating piece — this Concord Limited Edition “Year of the Dragon” in 18K rose gold was produced in just 50 pieces worldwide in 1998. It features a hand-painted enamel dial depicting a fierce and intricate dragon motif — a true testament to the artistry and precision of traditional enamel craftsmanship.

Enamel dials have long been revered for their depth, artistry, and luminous beauty — yet true examples are often reserved for watches commanding six-figure prices. The level of craftsmanship and detail seen here is rarely encountered, and almost never at this value. For the discerning collector who seeks substance as much as sophistication, this piece represents an extraordinary opportunity.

Diamond hour markers accent the vivid enamel, adding a refined brilliance to the dial. The watch measures 25mm x 34mm with a 21mm lug width, and is fitted with its original black alligator leather strap and matching Concord 18K rose gold buckle. A clear exhibition caseback reveals its manual-wind movement, composed entirely of original components.

Accompanied by its original papers, this piece stands as a true collector’s dream — a rare opportunity to own an authentic enamel dial timepiece at an accessible price point. Elegant, symbolic, and artistically masterful — a timeless celebration of craftsmanship and rarity.

History

Founded in 1908 in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, Concord was established by five Swiss visionaries — among them master watchmakers like Walter Hugenin and Charles Bonny — with the explicit intention of designing high-quality, luxury Swiss timepieces with the American market in mind. From the early decades, the brand built a reputation for producing watches in precious metals and gemstones, including supplying elite jewelers such as Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, and Cartier. Over time, Concord achieved important technical milestones — for example, it was among the first to offer coin-dial or coin-case variations and pushed ultra-thin case designs.

By the late 1970s and 1980s, Concord entered its most visible era: under the ownership of the Movado Group/North American Watch Company structure (after acquisition around 1970) it shifted into the luxury-quartz arena while capitalizing on its heritage. Landmark models such as the “Delirium” series (one of the world’s thinnest watches at launch) and the “Mariner” and “Saratoga” collections became status pieces, especially in North America.

Concord has a number of compelling stories and attributes that make it interesting for collectors. First, the brand’s historical connection to high-luxury jewelry houses and its use of precious metals and gems give it inherent luxury credentials. Second, certain models are rare and hold design/technical significance (for example, the Delirium’s records for thinness). These factors tend to elevate interest and value. Third, despite its high profile at one time, the brand did not maintain the elevated dominance of some peers, meaning there are under-the-radar gems (especially in the pre-owned market) offering strong value relative to more ubiquitous luxury names. A watch collector blog notes: “Concord is one of those brands that casual collectors ignore — and real collectors quietly scoop up when no one’s watching.”

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
