MOVEMENT​

The fully skeletonised HMC 811 is an automatic, three-dimensional calibre housing H. Moser & Cie.’s in-house cylindrical hairspring and the one-minute flying tourbillon for impeccable precision.
HMC_icon_functions.svg

FUNCTIONS​

The cylindrical hairspring offers excellent performance, thanks to a period of oscillation that is constant – regardless of amplitude. Combined with a tourbillon, it is at once a feat in precision and a kinetic sculpture to admire.

HIGHLIGHT​

The fully skeletonised HMC 811 calibre is enhanced even further by its three-dimensionality. The gold skeletonised oscillating weight and the dark main plate and bridges with anthracite PVD finish offer an alluring contrast.

H. Moser & Cie. 2022. Edouard Meylan, CEO and Owner, presents two stunning new watches​

Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton: H. Moser & Cie. cultivates the art of contrast. For this piece, the company consciously selected the Pioneer case. With its contemporary and adventurous look and feel inspired by the industrial world, it showcases the HMC 811 three-dimensional Manufacture calibre, designed to be a true work of art. This large, fully skeletonised movement with a 34 mm diameter enhances the "balletic dance" of the one-minute flying tourbillon, equipped with a cylindrical hairspring at 6 o'clock. Invented in the 18th century, the cylindrical hairspring rises perpendicularly around the upper stem of the balance spindle. A frequent feature on marine chronometers at the time, it offers the advantage of developing concentrically. Thanks to the cylindrical hairspring, fitted with two Breguet curves attached at two points, friction on the pivots is reduced and the isochronal properties improved, even more when the hairspring is combined with a tourbillon as is the case here. Today, the cylindrical hairspring is particularly difficult to produce because it requires very specific know-how and tools. The teams at Precision Engineering AG, H. Moser & Cie.’s sister company, had to remaster this expertise, as each cylindrical hairspring is shaped by hand, taking ten times longer to produce than a traditional hairspring.
At 12 o'clock, a small, domed sub-dial reflects the curve of the sapphire crystal and features the company's signature colour, Funky Blue fumé. The white H. Moser & Cie. logo has a certain subtlety about it, while the indices are much bolder: created using Globolight®, a ceramic-based material containing Super-LumiNova®, these add to the three-dimensional nature of the piece, as do the inserts which top the hour and minute hands, also in Globolight®.

A skeleton model of the new HMC 811 calibre is used here, on both the front and the reverse side, where a large, gold and fully open rotor oscillates. The beauty of this movement is further enhanced by the lightness of the flying tourbillon, which twirls gracefully under the sapphire crystal. The Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton represents an important step for H. Moser & Cie., as it enters the skeleton watch segment and defines its own principles for this type of watchmaking.
The Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton model features a black alligator leather strap, but can also be worn with a steel, rubber, textile or kudu leather strap, providing a variety of options. Even with its powerful yet elegant aesthetic, this dramatic piece is highly wearable thanks to its 15.3 mm thickness. Water-resistant to 12 ATM, it can be worn just as easily with a shirt as it can for sports or setting out on an adventure.


Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept Lime Green:
The essential foundation of watchmaking, the 3-hand watch requires expertise at the very highest level, as it is the details that really elevate the piece. To be truly exceptional, the aesthetic must reach perfection, achieving a perfect balance: immaculate proportions, harmonious forms, high-end finishes. This is what H. Moser & Cie. is proposing with the Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept Lime Green model, although the dial, with its brand-new colour and technology, lend a new dynamic to the serene elegance. What H. Moser & Cie. achieves here has become its signature: revisiting a traditional art form and modernising it, to bring it into line with contemporary tastes and ensure it is not lost. Starting with a pattern engrained onto a gold base, as if hammered, three different colour pigments are washed, finely crushed, then applied to create an ombré effect. It took approximately one hour of careful work for the master enameller to painstakingly apply the pigments, adding them one by one so that the colours oxidise and meld together when heated in the furnace, without any pixellation. In total, a translucent "Grand Feu" enamel dial must be fired 12 times to create the signature H. Moser & Cie. fumé effect. Each dial is unique. The finish is remarkable; resolutely contemporary, with a particularly striking texture and an intense hue, christened Lime Green, that the Schaffhausen-based manufacture lets speak for itself, with no logo or indices.

At the heart of the 40 mm steel case beats the HMC 200 automatic calibre. This movement, entirely designed, developed and produced in-house, is equipped with a regulating organ manufactured by H. Moser & Cie.'s sister company, Precision Engineering AG, and comprises a double hairspring, instantly identifiable thanks to the purple seconds hand and to the blue balance bridge. Decorated with the famous Moser double stripes, the calibre HMC 200 features a large, engraved oscillating weight and guarantees a power reserve of at least 3 days.
A grey kudu leather strap lends the final touch of elegance to this bold cocktail: fresh, offbeat, with a truly modern sensibility.

--------------------
Following our coverage of the one and only international watch fair of the year, Watches and Wonders Geneva 2022, we meet with Edouard Meylan, CEO of independent watchmaker H. Moser & Cie. who will show us the brand's latest creation for the year. But first, Meylan explains the strategy of the brand regarding its independence, the products and a bit of the future. Regarding watches, H. Moser & Cie was presenting this year the Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept with a Lime Green dial made of textured gold covered with gradient enamel. The second watch is more about innovation and feels different from previous launches, the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton. This isn't about minimalism but about dimensions and architecture of the movement. Finally, there's a concept/prototype watch, the Streamliner Blacker than Black, a watch (non-functional) fully coated in Vantablack.

REVIEW: The New H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Tourbillon Vantablack​

---------------------
The market for luxury sports watches with integrated bracelets has changed drastically, and even indie watchmakers are now present and with their usual original take on things. H. Moser & Cie. was there already in 2020, with a watch named the Streamliner. And it lived up to its name, with a fluid, smooth design and a distinct personality. Following a chronograph version, an automatic 3-hander and a deceptively simple perpetual calendar, it’s now time for a tourbillon to join the family. And since it’s dressed in black and gold and has a hole in its dial, the Streamliner Tourbillon Vantablack isn’t that streamlined anymore. But still very much in line with its brothers. Check the video to see why! Enjoy.

Following on from the all-steel version, H. Moser & Cie. is releasing a red gold Streamliner. The streamlined aesthetic of this ode to minimalism complements the complexity of the automatic movement and the materials chosen. In a striking play of contrasts, H. Moser & Cie. distils the essence of the tourbillon, the traditional Haute Horlogerie mechanism, combining it with Vantablack®, an innovative coating used in astrophysics and taken from the aeronautical industry. Minimalist, ultra-modern and timeless.

MOVEMENT​

The HMC 804 is an automatic tourbillon movement which counteracts the effects of gravity in two ways: the one-minute flying tourbillon, and the patented double hairspring where two identical hairsprings compensate for any positional errors.
HMC_icon_functions.svg

FUNCTIONS​

Conceived to counteract the effects of gravity on the watch’s timekeeping precision, the tourbillon is a device in which the regulating organ and escapement are placed, which constantly rotates around a central axis to eliminate any positional errors.
HMC_icon_specific.svg

HIGHLIGHT​

Extremely meticulous polishing and satin-finishing work on adjacent surfaces is required to obtain the high-end finishes for which the Streamliner collection has become renowned. The transitions between the different types of finishes must indeed be flawless.
