Back in 2015 H. Moser & Cie created its first sports-styled watch made from a red gold case. The Pioneer Centre Seconds watch almost hit the spot for sports watch aficionados but not quite. It needed to be a little more self-assured – a little more aggressive – robust even. So, the Swiss watch company of almost 200 years dedicated a further 2 years to developing a steel version of the Pioneer Centre Seconds. That model is now the predecessor to a new iteration from H. Moser, now released in a captivating Collective Green dial with a bi-directional rotating bezel, solid hands (as opposed to partially skeletonized), a matching steel bracelet and appliques treated with new luminous material. The timepiece is a collaborative effort between H. Moser & Cie and Collective Horology.

After their classical time-only Kudoke 1 and their prize-winning Kudoke 2 with hand-engraved day/night indicator, they released the Nocturne version of the latter, with a dark, anthracite-coloured dial. Now they are launching a collaboration piece with a splash of colour, the Kudoke 2 Grüner Wald Special Edition.

Named after an illustrious 18th-century watchmaker, the brand was revived […]
