Stylish on the Wild Side: Meet the H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Tourbillon Burgundy
H. Moser & Cie. starts the watch year 2025 on a high, introducing the Pioneer Tourbillon Burgundy and working to bring together fine watchmaking with robustness all in a beautiful pink gold case. With a stunning burgundy dial accentuated by the Swiss brand's sophisticated fumé technique, a reduced case size, a daring rubber strap, and, last but not least a manufacture movement with a flying tourbillon, it is a winning formula appealing to aficionados and collectors.
The Pioneer Tourbillon Burgundy features a straightforward, yet stunningly elegant, two-handed time display, with partially skeletonized, leaf-shaped gold hands indicating the hour and minute on applied gold hour indices; both the hands and hour markers are treated with Superluminova for night readability. The red gold case, 40mm wide and 12mm thick, has a curved sapphire crystal over the sunburst fumé dial and a screw-in crown helping to ensure its sports-watch-worthy water resistance of 120 meters.
The star of the show is – of course – the one-minute flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock, with a skeletonized bridge to showcase the gear train and bi-directional automatic winding system wheels beneath. An interchangeable module, assembled and regulated independently via a "Plug & Play" system, it allows for easy servicing, according to H. Moser & Cie.
The updated HMC 805 movement with three days of power reserve, visible through the sapphire case back, is equipped with a double flat hairspring produced by H. Moser & Cie.'s sister company, Precision Engineering AG, that is designed to improve accuracy by correcting the movement of the point of gravity on each of the paired springs as they expand. Timekeeping accuracy and isochronism is improved in this double-hairspring system because it reduces the effects of friction associated with a more traditional, single-hairspring design. The bi-directional rotor, skeletonized and made of 18k rose gold, transfers energy to the barrel using a bi-directional pawl winding system that reduces the time required to wind the mainspring.
The Pioneer Tourbillon Burgundy is mounted on a green rubber strap and priced at $65,900.
