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 […]
The luxury sports watch, understand the sporty-chic steel watch with an integrated bracelet, is without doubt the hottest category on the current market. It seems that most brands need to enter this race to gain the heart of enthusiasts. H. Moser & Cie, the slightly irreverent independent watchmaker, did so in early 2020 with a highly personal watch, the fluid and curvy Streamliner. First introduced in a sleek limited edition chronograph, followed by a time-only model this year, it made quite an entrance on the scene. Now, the Streamliner Flyback Chronograph comes back with a typically-Moser “Funky Blue” fumé dial and in the permanent collection. And it looks stunning, as you can see in our video review.
Despite the challenges the industry had to face this year, it needed a celebration and some joy. So here we are, as the 2020 edition of the GPHG, known as the “Oscars of the watchmaking industry”, has come to a close and the prize for the best watch of the year, also known as the […]
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.
With the cancellation of Baselworld and Watches & Wonders, the Geneva Watch Days event was one of the very few multi-brand watch events of the year. Seventeen brands showcased their novelties between August 26 and August 29 in the “capital of luxury watchmaking”. The event was decentralised as each brand was presenting novelties in their […]
Following fast on the heels of the January 2020 launch of the impressive Streamliner Flyback Chronograph luxury sports watch, H.Moser & Cie. presents a second, less complex three-hand Streamliner model. Flaunting the same rounded curves of the chronograph, the Streamliner Centre Seconds comes in a 40mm steel case and features a classic Moser fumé dial, […]
