W&W 2024 H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton

Designed to offer an unparalleled visual and mechanical experience, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton features a stunning minimalist aesthetic and perfect symmetry. One of the most striking features of this model is its transparency. True to its minimalist philosophy, H. Moser & Cie. has stripped away all unnecessary material to better showcase and enhance the piece, laying bare the stark beauty of its mechanism. At the heart of this exceptional, entirely skeletonised watch lies a one-minute flying tourbillon with a double hairspring that appears to float weightlessly. A bold stylistic statement, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton is quite simply a manifesto for ingenuity. A creation endowed with refined elegance and spectacular aesthetics, in a Streamliner case measuring 40 mm in diameter.

In 2022, H. Moser & Cie. presented the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton and made a remarkable entry into the skeleton watch segment, while defining its own codes for the skeleton aesthetic. Using the same signatures, the Manufacture is launching its second skeleton model, this time part of the Streamliner collection. By removing as much material as possible, H. Moser & Cie. has sculpted every detail of the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton with precision, resulting in a creation with a stark, refined aesthetic. 

The skeletonisation process has produced an extremely refined, luminous piece, highly transparent with incredible depth that reveals all the beauty of the watch mechanism, usually hidden from view. The barrel, which has also been hollowed out, offers a view of the spring, allowing the wearer to check that it is wound correctly. Right through the watch you can see the rotor, which has also been openworked. Particular attention has been paid to symmetry, ensuring the proportions are perfectly balanced. The minimalist finishes are modern, adorning the anthracite main plate and bridges with drawn strokes combined with precise bevelling.

Featuring a 40.0-mm steel cushion case water-resistant to 12 ATM, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton offers extraordinary ergonomics thanks to the design which includes a fully integrated steel bracelet with no lugs on the case. The case middle features recessed and satin-finished forms on the sides, with alternating polished and brushed surfaces. It is topped by a subtly domed sapphire crystal, echoed by the see-through case back. 

Extending these curves, the integrated steel bracelet is elegantly arced to follow the line of the wrist. Highly complex in construction, this bracelet has extremely fluid lines based on organic forms. Pointing to goldplated indices, the three-dimensional hour and minute hands made from two sections feature inserts with Globolight®, an innovative ceramic-based material containing Super-LumiNova®.

Seemingly floating in the middle of a void, a one-minute flying tourbillon positioned at six o'clock comes to life to power this exceptional timepiece. A marvel of ingenuity, this automatic HMC 814 skeleton movement is equipped with a double hairspring designed and produced in-house by H. Moser & Cie.'s sister company Precision Engineering AG. Thanks to this pair of matched hairsprings, the movement of the point of gravity on each spring when it expands is corrected and the effect of friction reduced, significantly improving accuracy and isochronism in continual pursuit of perfection.

The Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton model is designed for demanding, visionary watch lovers who appreciate the harmonious union of form and function.
