H. Moser & Cie, the renowned Swiss luxury watch brand, has partnered with Bucherer to present an exclusive collection of timepieces that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern design. Celebrated for its minimalist and understated timepieces, H. Moser & Cie. continues to captivate enthusiasts who appreciate the art of watchmaking.
Three exclusive models
Through this collaboration, H. Moser & Cie. presents three exclusive models: two from the Pioneer collection and one from the Endeavor collection. Each watch embodies the brand’s philosophy of fusing the past with the present, combining minimalist aesthetics with exceptional watchmaking expertise.
The Endeavour Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon Amber Sand
The highlight of the collection is the Endeavour Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon Amber Sand. This unique piece revisits the elegance of the Endeavour Concept Minute Repeater, which was first introduced in 2019. The dial features polished, beveled hammers and prominent gongs, showcasing the minute repeater complication in its purest form.
Activating the Teflon-coated slider on the case triggers a complex mechanism that calculates the time and controls the hammers. These hammers strike the gongs to produce a clear, melodic chime: hours are indicated by single tones, quarters by double tones, and additional minutes by additional tones.
The art of the “Amber Sand” dial
All three models feature a new “Amber Sand Fumé” dial, a signature of H. Moser & Cie. The creation of this vibrant color gradient requires more than 200 meticulous steps. The process begins with an electroplating bath to create the base color. A rotating machine then spins the dial while the paint is sprayed at a precise angle to create the distinctive fumé effect.
Historical photographs of the Moser family’s former home inspired the dial colors. This personal touch sets these limited-edition models apart from the core collection and adds depth to their aesthetic appeal.
