H. Moser & CIE Gifts Funky Blue Guitar to Adam Clayton U2 Guitarist

Swiss watch brand H. Moser  & Cie is known for releasing some pretty impressive-  and often colorful — watches. Recently, the brand showed off its Fume’ blue dial (and also a fume’ green dial) — that was the inspiration behind a new bass guitar for U2 bassist (and co-founder of the brand) Adam Clayton. Like the H. Moser  Fume’ blue dial, the new Funky blue guitar color features  graduated hues of blue starting lighter at the center and then getting darker toward the edges.

Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie, along with watch retailer Laurent Picciotto of Chronopassion in Europe, met with the execs of Wild Customs guitar workshop earlier this year where they conceived of the idea of a special take on the blue fume’ dial for musical instruments. Together they created the bespoke electric bass for Adam Clayton, who also owns several  H. Moser & Cie watches.

 The Fume’ Blue color translated beautifully onto the Alder body and maple neck of the Wild Customs bespoke guitar, with the new hue being aptly named  Funky Blue. The guitar also features  custom-made knobs  wiith H. Moser’s “M” motif, and a metal plate with H. Moser’s logo on the neck.
