New H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Tourbillon

[TimeTexas]

Made with 5N Red Gold and a dial made with VantaBlack, the H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Tourbillon.

Following on from the all-steel version, H. Moser & Cie. is releasing a red gold Streamliner. The streamlined aesthetic of this ode to minimalism complements the complexity of the automatic movement and the materials chosen. In a striking play of contrasts, H. Moser & Cie. distils the essence of the tourbillon, the traditional Haute Horlogerie mechanism, combining it with Vantablack®, an innovative coating used in astrophysics and taken from the aeronautical industry. Minimalist, ultra-modern and timeless.

 

What are your thoughts? I've never liked gold cases with black dials. While I know its a classic look, it does nothing for me. On first glance, I felt the same about the Streamliner Tourbillon, but as I've looked closer, I actually kind of like the red gold with the black dial. I've always loved the Streamliner case and bracelet design - something truly out there and different. And the more I see photos, the more I'm starting to come around on the black dial with the red gold.

I'm not sensible to tourbillon, I'd prefer this watch with a plain dial (but that makes no sense I know it). The rose gold with this black is splendid and those hands are amongst my favourite in the entire watchmaking!

Quite honestly, I agree with this entire assessment. There are watches where I really like the visible tourbillon on the dial, but very few. I saw a Moser Heritage with and without the tourbillon and I preferred the non-tourbillon. Moser is known for its dials, so don't break up the dial. That said, the Pioneer Skeleton Tourbillon is fucking insane and I love it.
