Timepieces in the H. Moser & Cie Streamliner collection are the ultra-modern version of the “luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet” concept, albeit based on the design of trains and cars from the 1930s-1950s. Check out images of the streamlined locomotives – even in static, they embody speed and movement and do not look […]
Tonight the watch industry’s focus is dead-set on Geneva, as the 2022 edition of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève has just unveiled who is the grand winner of this year’s awards ceremony! Often regarded as the Oscars of Watchmaking, the GPHG stands for a celebration of all things surrounding mechanical watchmaking. A specially selected […]
Presented in 2020, the Streamliner was an instant hit for H. Moser & Cie. This luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet stands out with a fluid, smooth design and a personality that did not try to emulate the icons of the category. Until very recently the model had been available with three different movements: […]
Founded in 1888, Bucherer is one of the oldest houses specializing in watches and jewellery. One of the world’s largest retailers, it also brought several industry-leading initiatives to the market, such as a very professional way to handle Certified Pre-Owned, but also their dedicated collection, in collaboration with some of the best watchmakers.

Today I’m talking with a long-time friend about his H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer with a striking blue dial; Andrew McUtchen. You might know him as the co-founder of Time+Tide, but also co-founder of the Fatherhood, and he’s what I’d call a true watch buddy. After a career at GQ Australia, he was crazy enough to try and make a living as a watch blogger (we have something in common here…) and he loves to wear his beloved H. Moser & Cie Pioneer Centre Seconds Midnight Blue Dial on a custom Kudu strap. According to the Aussie, H. Moser & Cie. is “sizzle and steak. And fries. And a funny waiter, too!” No clue what he means by that, but let’s find out.
The Swiss Alp Watch Final Upgrade marks the swan song of Moser’s intrepid Swiss Alp watch. Introduced in 2016, the Swiss Alp watch looked like an Apple watch but never needed recharging thanks to its beautiful mechanical heart – a slightly irreverent yet typically Moser way to promote real Swiss-made watchmaking. The last Swiss Alp […]
In true H. Moser & Cie. style, the personality of one of its most complex watches bows to the brand’s philosophy of ‘less is more’. The combination of a minute repeater and a tourbillon in any other watchmaker’s hands would probably be interpreted with extravagant flourishes: not at Moser. Launched in 2019, the Endeavour Concept […]
2020 will be remembered as a traumatic year… but also a turning point. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted virtually all aspects of human life. As far as the watch industry is concerned, it has been severely hit by the sanitary crisis. Swiss watch exports have seen a decline of 23.5% over the 11 first months […]
We’ve said it already and we’ll say it again: the most active and sought-after category of watches for the last couple of years is, without a doubt, the ‘luxury sports watch’. A category of watches defined by their mix of luxurious appeal, relatively robust cases and integrated bracelets or straps. Dominated for long by the […]
As the end of the year is fast approaching, it was time for MONOCHROME’s editorial team to sit around the (virtual) table and to have a look back at all the new watches that have been introduced in 2020. Despite a complex situation and sales that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen […]
