Designed to offer an unparalleled visual and mechanical experience, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton by H. Moser & Cie. presents a very elegant minimalist aesthetic, in dialogue with perfect symmetry. One of the most striking features of this model is its transparency. True to the minimalist philosophy, H. Moser & Cie. removed all superfluous material to better showcase and enhance the piece, revealing the pure beauty of its mechanism. At the heart of this exceptional entirely skeletonized watch lies a one-minute flying tourbillon with a double hairspring that seems to be suspended in the air. A bold statement of style, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton is a manifesto of ingenuity, a refined creation with spectacular aesthetics, presented in a 40mm diameter Streamliner case.
A bit of history and the processes involved
In 2022, H. Moser & Cie. introduced the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton and made a notable entry into the skeleton watch segment, simultaneously defining its own codes for this aesthetic. Using the same signatures, the maison’s manufacture launches its second skeleton model, this time part of the Streamliner collection. H. Moser & Cie. precisely sculpted all the details of the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton, resulting in a piece with a rigorous and refined aesthetic. The skeletonization process produced an extremely refined, luminous, transparent piece with incredible depth, revealing all the normally hidden beauty of the watch mechanism. The barrel, which was also hollowed out, provides a view of the mainspring, allowing the user to verify if the watch has been correctly wound. Through the watch, it is possible to see the rotor, which has also been pierced. Special attention was also given to symmetry, ensuring that the proportions are in total balance. The minimalist finishes, very contemporary, adorn the main anthracite-colored plate and the bridges with drawn lines, combined with precise beveling.
Cutting-edge mechanism and contemporary design
Featuring a 40.0mm cushion-shaped steel case, water-resistant to 12 ATM, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton offers extraordinary ergonomics thanks to its design, which includes an integrated steel bracelet with no lugs on the case. The case middle features cut-out shapes and satin finishes on the flanks, with surfaces alternately polished and brushed. It is topped by a subtly convex sapphire glass, in harmony with the transparent case back. Continuing these curves, the integrated steel bracelet is elegantly arched to follow the wrist line. A complex construction, the bracelet features fluid lines based on organic shapes. Pointing to gold-coated indexes, the three-dimensional hour and minute hands, with two sections, feature inserts with Globolight®, an innovative ceramic-based material containing Super-LumiNova®. As if floating in the void, a one-minute flying tourbillon positioned at six o’clock comes to life to power this exceptional watch. A marvel of engineering, the automatic skeleton movement HMC 814 is equipped with a double hairspring designed and produced internally by H. Moser & Cie.’s sister company, Precision Engineering AG. Thanks to this pair of paired springs, the movement of the gravity point in each spring, when it expands, is corrected and the friction effect is reduced, significantly improving accuracy and isochronism in the continuous pursuit of perfection.
The Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton model was designed for demanding and visionary watch enthusiasts who appreciate the harmonious union between form and function.
