With the unveiling of the H. Moser & Cie. has once again pushed the boundaries of watchmaking innovation, offering enthusiasts a mesmerizing blend of transparency and symmetry. This timepiece is not just a watch; it’s a work of art meticulously crafted to redefine elegance in horology.
At the heart of the 40mm Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton lies a marvel of engineering: a one-minute flying tourbillon with a double hairspring. This intricate mechanism, painstakingly crafted by the skilled artisans at H. Moser & Cie., creates the illusion of weightlessness, captivating the wearer with its ethereal beauty.
Building upon the success of the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton introduced in 2022, H.

By removing excess material, the watchmaker has achieved a delicate balance between transparency and strength, revealing the inner workings of the timepiece while ensuring its durability and reliability.

But the beauty of the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton extends beyond its aesthetic appeal. The watch features a stainless steel cushion case water-resistant to 12 ATM, ensuring its suitability for everyday wear. The fully integrated steel bracelet, with no lugs on the case, offers unparalleled comfort and ergonomics, seamlessly conforming to the wearer’s wrist.
In low light conditions, the gold-plated indices and three-dimensional hour and minute hands, featuring Globolight® inserts, provide enhanced visibility, adding both practicality and style to the timepiece.
At the heart of the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton beats the HMC 814 self-winding in-house-made skeletonized movement, a testament to H. Moser & Cie.’s commitment to innovation and excellence.

It offers 72 hours of power reserve.
The dial is protected by a slightly domed sapphire crystal and the case back is set with a sapphire crystal, as well, for viewing the meticulously finished movement. The watch retails for $86,900.
