In the world of haute horlogerie, some timepieces captivate with their craftsmanship, while others evoke a sense of speed. This year, H. Moser & Cie. brings both these distinctly different inspirations to the wrist. On one hand, there's the Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic, crafted from red grand feu enamel and ceramic, resembling a quietly burning mechanical flame. On the other hand, there's the Streamliner Alpine Pink Edition, designed for Formula One racing, transforming the speed and rhythm of the track into a timekeeping language on the wrist.
Red Flame Ceramic Tourbillon
Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic
Swiss independent watchmaking brand H. Moser & Cie. has launched its new Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic timepiece, bringing ceramic to the Streamliner collection for the first time. The entire watch features a dark grey ceramic case and integrated bracelet, with alternating polished and matte finishes that create subtle depth under light. The dial is a dramatic splash of red fumé grand feu enamel, the color radiating outwards from the center, standing out strikingly against the grey ceramic backdrop. The dial is devoid of hour markers and indicators, featuring only two hands and a flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock, resulting in a clean and pure aesthetic that immediately draws the eye to the red hue. The choice of ceramic not only adds a fresh aesthetic but also enhances the overall wearing experience. This material is lightweight, durable, and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for everyday wear while maintaining the sophistication expected of a high-end timepiece. Combined with the Streamliner's streamlined case silhouette, the entire watch resembles a sculpture. The red smoked enamel on the dial is a signature technique of the brand: craftsmen first engrave intricate textures on a white gold base, and then fire the enamel pigments multiple times to create a deep and layered red luster.
Flying tourbillon and double hairspring movement performance
In terms of functionality and performance, this timepiece also showcases the brand's profound watchmaking expertise. It is powered by the HMC 805 automatic movement, featuring a one-minute flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock, making the movement's operation an integral part of the overall design. Most notably, the movement employs the brand's in-house developed "double hairspring" structure, using two paired hairsprings to enhance timekeeping stability and reduce the impact of gravity on accuracy. The movement also features an 18K red gold skeletonized rotor and partially skeletonized bridges, allowing a clear view of the entire working structure through the transparent case back. With a power reserve of approximately three days, it is sufficient for everyday wear.
F1 Pink Circuit Soul on Your Wrist
Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Pink Edition
This year, the brand also presents a set of highly distinctive timepieces for Formula One: the Streamliner Alpine Drivers Pink Edition and the Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Pink Edition. Inspired by the Alpine team's bold and eye-catching pink livery this year, these watches bring racing culture directly into the world of haute horlogerie. In terms of design, both watches feature the Streamliner collection's signature streamlined steel case, paired with an integrated pink rubber strap, creating a visually bold yet sleek look. The Streamliner Alpine Drivers Pink Edition features a fully skeletonized dial, directly showcasing the movement structure, much like seeing the engine running through a transparent car body—a truly mechanical experience. Pink hour markers and hands add a touch of technology and dynamism. The other model, the Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Pink Edition, takes a different approach. The dial features a grey smoked sub-dial at the top and a hidden digital display below, complemented by pink hour markers and a transparent lacquered brand logo, presenting a subtle yet modern technological feel. Both watches are approximately 42mm in size, featuring a domed sapphire crystal and a stainless steel case, retaining both the power of a sports watch and the refined quality of haute horlogerie.
Flyback timing and track function
The Drivers Pink Edition features the HMC 700 automatic movement, co-developed by H. Moser & Cie. and Agenhor, and includes a flyback chronograph function that instantly resets and restarts the timing process – one of the most practical features in racing timekeeping. The movement employs a double barrel design, providing at least 72 hours of power reserve to ensure stable operation over extended periods. The Mechanics Pink Edition, on the other hand, is a tool-type watch designed specifically for the support staff of racing teams. It combines analog time display with digital functions, connecting to a smartphone via Bluetooth to provide GMT, perpetual calendar, and 1/100th-second chronograph functions. It can even display a countdown to the next race and team information in "Race Mode." Furthermore, this limited edition watch is only available in 50 sets worldwide, making it highly collectible.
