H. Moser celebrates its partnership with Alpine Motorsports with two Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine Limited Editions, each a new, beautifully skeletonized tourbillon iteration of the independent watchmaker’s successful Streamliner design.
While we’ve seen at least one skeletonized version of this watch previously, the new offerings utilize a different tourbillon movement (HMC 811, with a cylindrical balance spring) and sport the colors of the race team’s two primary liveries: pink and blue.
The most recent version, with pink-hued accents, was launched as a limited edition of twenty pieces in celebration of the 2024 Miami Grand Prix earlier in May. Its pink hue is the result of H. Moser artisans use of synthetic corundum (ruby) to manufacture the small domed dial that tops the skeletonized main dial.
The watch is available exclusively on the H. Moser e-commerce website. H. Moser will make one addition pink model as a fundraiser to be sold at a charity auction to benefit the environmental foundation Aqua Pearls.
The blue-accented model, offered as a limited edition of 100 pieces, features a skeletonized main dial topped with a small translucent domed dial in blue, a color resulting from the use of synthetic spinel.
On both watches H. Moser fits its superb one-minute flying tourbillon with a blue cage bridge while the namesake cylindrical balance-spring rotates at the 6 o’clock location.
H. Moser explains that “the cylindrical hairspring – fitted with two Breguet overcoils attached at two points – reduces the friction of the pivots and improves the isochronism properties, all the more so if the hairspring is combined with a tourbillon, as is the case here.”
The indices on both models glow with SuperLuminova while the inserts above the blued hour and minute hands feature Globolight. Pink or blue molded rubber straps attach the watch to the wrist. (See full specifications below).
Prices: $98,000 (pink) and $89,000 (blue).
