In 2022, H. Moser & Cie. unveiled the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton and defined their own take on the skeleton aesthetic. Fast forward to Watches & Wonders 2024 and H. Moser & Cie. is unveiling a second skeleton model as part of the Streamliner collection.
The Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton incorporates the minimalistic aesthetic that H. Moser & Cie. have come to be known for. Having stripped away excess materials deemed as ‘unnecessary’, the brand has achieved striking transparency which allows the mechanism at the heart of the timepiece to be showcased.

The Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton features a 40mm stainless steel cushion case with water resistance offered up to 12 ATM. Presented with a fully integrated steel bracelet to achieve an ergonomic silhouette without the additional bulk of lugs on the case, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton is modern, minimalistic, and sleek. The case middle features recessed and satin-finish forms on the sides, the surfaces of which alternate between polished and brushed. These elements are then topped with a subtly domed sapphire crystal which contrasts beautifully with the stark transparency of the case back. The three-dimensional hour and minute hands have been treated with Globolight, a ceramic-based material containing Super LumiNova, and they point toward gold-plated indices.

Appearing to float at 6 o'clock is the one-minute flying tourbillon. Bringing the watch to life thanks to its automatic HMC 814 skeleton movement complete with a double hairspring which was designed and produced in-house by sister company Precision Engineering AG. Thanks to the incorporation of these hairsprings, the effect of friction is reduced which significantly improves accuracy and wearer experience.
The H.Moser & Cie. Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton was unveiled at Geneva and more information can be found at H.Moser & Cie. online.
