It’s a very becoming selection when you consider the high-speed trains that impressed each the title and the curves of this line.

Embodying precision and distinctive engineering, the Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine Restricted Version is an ode to transparency and three-dimensionality. On the coronary heart of this timepiece is a one-minute flying tourbillon fitted with a cylindrical hairspring at 6 o’clock, showcasing the experience of H. Moser & Cie.’s sister firm, Precision Engineering AG. Invented within the 18th century, the cylindrical hairspring rises perpendicularly across the higher stem of the stability spindle. A frequent function of marine chronometers on the time, it provided the benefit of being developed concentrically. The cylindrical hairspring – fitted with two Breguet overcoils connected at two factors – reduces the friction of the pivots and improves the isochronism properties, all of the extra so if the hairspring is mixed with a tourbillon, as is the case right here. These days, the cylindrical hairspring is difficult to supply as a result of it requires experience that has been misplaced.

Moser & Cie. likes to play with contrasts, and right here, the model has loved combining conventional experience with an ultra-modern watch.

Moser & Cie. has opted for a blue moulded rubber strap, which imitates the feel of a textile strap, prioritising consolation with out compromising sophistication.

The automated calibre HMC 811 is absolutely skeletonised on each the entrance and reverse sides, the place a sizeable openworked gold rotor might be seen oscillating.
