H Moser & Cie Drops Endeavour Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon Aqua Blue
Just 40 pieces of the $365,000 USD limited edition will be made.
H Moser & Cie makes a show of the watchmaking behind two of the most kinetic complications with its new Endeavour Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon Aqua Blue.
Displaying both the constantly rotating one-minute flying tourbillon and the on-demand chiming action of the repeater’s hammers against gongs on the dial ensures there’s always something to catch the eye.
The two circular gongs of the minute repeater wrap around the inside of the case in opposite directions, framing an aqua blue enamel dial, fired 12 times on top of a hammered dial blank adding texture and catching the light.
The 40mm watch features the all-new HMC 904 hand wound movement and strikes the hours, quarters and minutes, as explained in the latest instalment of HYPEBEAST’s Complications, Simplified series which looks at the mechanics behind minute repeaters and sonneries.
Moser refined the shape of the case to optimise the “volume, resonance and harmony” of the repeater’s chimes, widening the case middle to increase the case’s internal volume and amplify its sound.
The Endeavour Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon Aqua Blue is offered in either 18K 5N red gold or titanium with 20 pieces being offered by H Moser & Cie, priced $365,000 USD.
Elsewhere in watches, Ulysse Nardin’s latest diver is almost entirely recycled or upcycled.
