Experience Timeless Elegance in a New Dimension: H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner
Evolution of the Streamliner Series: A Dive into Compact Dimensions
Since its introduction in 2020, the H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner collection has captivated enthusiasts with its distinctive blend of sophisticated design and integrated bracelet. Initially featuring larger models, this series now embraces a more inclusive approach with the release of a 34.2mm and an exceptionally petite 28mm variant. This expansion signifies the brand's commitment to offering its unique vision of a luxury sports watch to a wider demographic, extending its appeal beyond traditional preferences for larger timepieces.
Ergonomic Design and Refined Craftsmanship
The Streamliner's design philosophy, characterized by its aerodynamic and fluid contours, translates beautifully into these new compact sizes. Unlike many watches that feature sharp angles, the Streamliner's gentle curves ensure an exceptional fit and comfort on the wrist. Both the 34.2mm model, with its 9.7mm total thickness, and the 28mm variant, measuring a mere 8.9mm, maintain an impressive water resistance of 120 meters. The steel cases and integrated bracelets are meticulously finished with radial brushing on the bezels, satin-finished surfaces, and polished bevels, creating a striking interplay of light and shadow.
Dial Aesthetics: The Art of Minimalist Expression
Embodying Moser's "Concept" watch philosophy, the dials of these new Streamliner models are stripped of any superfluous elements, allowing the intrinsic beauty of their texture and color to take center stage. Eschewing indices, tracks, and even the brand logo, the minimalist design features only Super-LumiNova coated hour and minute hands. The frosted texture, hand-engraved on a brass plate, is further enhanced by a gradient lacquer finish, creating the brand's signature fumé effect. The 34.2mm model showcases a silver fumé dial, while the 28mm version boasts a rich burgundy fumé dial, both exhibiting a captivating transition from a lighter center to deeper edges.
Precision Engineering: Movements Tailored for Smaller Proportions
To perfectly complement the new compact dimensions, H. Moser & Cie. has adapted its automatic movements. The 34.2mm Streamliner houses the HMC 400 caliber, measuring 29.6mm x 3.9mm, featuring an 18k solid red gold rotor. The 28mm model is powered by the HMC 410 automatic movement, a smaller 18.7mm caliber with an identical slim height of 3.9mm. Both movements operate at 25,200 vibrations per hour and offer a robust 60-hour power reserve, with their intricate mechanics visible through the sapphire crystal case back, underscoring the brand's dedication to both form and function.
Availability and Investment Value
These two exquisite Streamliner Two Hands models are available at a unified price point of CHF 21,900, excluding tax. This offering represents an accessible entry into H. Moser & Cie.'s world of high horology, presenting collectors and enthusiasts with an opportunity to own a piece that combines innovative design with exceptional mechanical prowess.
