H. Moser released the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton
Where Transparency Meets Symmetry
The H. Moser Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton, unveiled on April 8, 2024, is a testament to the elegance of minimalism and the beauty of symmetry in horology. This timepiece is designed not just to tell time, but to offer a visual and mechanical spectacle that is seldom seen in the world of luxury watches. Embracing a minimalist philosophy, H. Moser & Cie. has expertly pared down the watch to its essential elements, highlighting the intricate beauty of its mechanism through a remarkable level of transparency.
Unveiling Technical Excellence
The Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton’s case is crafted from stainless steel, boasting a harmonious blend of polished and brushed surfaces. Measuring 40mm in diameter and 12.1mm in height, including the domed sapphire crystal, this watch combines aesthetic appeal with robust functionality. It features a sapphire display back for an intimate view of the inner workings and is water-resistant up to 120 meters, ensuring durability and resilience.
Core of Precision: The Movement
At the heart of the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton is the Swiss automatic H. Moser in-house caliber HMC814, which is fully skeletonized to reveal the beauty of its 28 jewels, oscillating at 21,600 vibrations per hour. This movement not only boasts a power reserve of three days but also features innovative technical elements like a bi-directional pawl winding system, a gold rotor, and the Original Straumann double hairspring, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and reliability.
Aesthetic and Functionality in Harmony
The fully skeletonized dial is adorned with gold-plated faceted indices and hour and minute hands, which are filled with Globolight inserts for visibility in low light conditions. A one-minute flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock, with a skeletonized bridge, adds to the watch’s allure, offering a captivating display of mechanical artistry.
Seamless Integration and Luxury
Complementing the watch’s exquisite dial is an integrated, arced stainless steel bracelet, which mirrors the case’s alternating polished and brushed surfaces. A three-blade folding clasp ensures the watch remains securely and comfortably on the wrist, encapsulating luxury in every detail.
At the end of the day…
With a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $86,900, the H. Moser Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton is a profound statement of minimalistic design and mechanical sophistication, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the finer aspects of watchmaking.
At the end of the day, this piece redefines what is possible in the realm of luxury timepieces, where every component is a blend of form and function, designed to captivate and enchant.
