At the prestigious Watches and Wonders event, H. Moser & Cie. introduced an exciting evolution for its iconic Streamliner series. The brand has unveiled two new 'Two Hands' timepieces, notably downsizing its integrated-bracelet collection to 34mm and 28mm. This move represents a substantial change from the Streamliner's previous offerings, which typically started at 40mm or larger, indicating a fresh approach to size and wearability within the luxury watch market.
These new editions maintain the distinctive integrated bracelet and case design that defines the Streamliner. Crafted from stainless steel, both models feature subtly re-engineered proportions to ensure the aesthetic integrity of the line is preserved, even in a more compact form. The dials continue Moser's signature minimalist style: the 34mm variant boasts a silver fumé dial, while the 28mm model captivates with a rich burgundy fumé. Strikingly, both dials are devoid of indexes and logos, emphasizing only the Super-LumiNova-treated hands for timekeeping, a true testament to understated elegance.
The simplified display extends to functionality, as these watches focus solely on hours and minutes. This deliberate omission of a running seconds hand sets these 'Two Hands' models apart from much of the existing Streamliner range, reinforcing Moser's commitment to a clean, uncluttered visual experience. This design choice not only enhances the minimalist appeal but also ensures legibility and balance on the smaller dials.
Driving these exquisite timepieces are H. Moser & Cie.'s in-house automatic calibers. The 34mm model is equipped with the HMC 400, while the more petite 28mm version utilizes the HMC 410. Both movements deliver approximately 60 hours of power reserve and operate at 25,200 vibrations per hour. They feature solid gold rotors and display the meticulous finishing expected from a brand of Moser's caliber, underscoring the high standards of internal craftsmanship. Both watches come with an integrated steel bracelet and are priced at $27,600, offering a compelling blend of design innovation and horological excellence.
This launch signals H. Moser & Cie.'s venture into a more diverse size segment, providing enthusiasts with smaller, yet equally sophisticated, options within the Streamliner family. The thoughtful reinterpretation of its core design elements for these dimensions suggests a forward-thinking strategy, potentially paving the way for more varied offerings in the brand's future collections.
