H. Moser & Cie. continues its bold Genesis trilogy with the Streamliner Genesis 2, its latest limited edition that shifts the narrative from the digital frontier to the tangible present.
Following the 2022 Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis, which explored blockchain authentication and Web3 integration, this second chapter anchors itself in matter and form. The watch is housed in a 40mm steel cushion-shaped case with a slightly domed sapphire crystal, paired with an integrated steel bracelet that reflects the Streamliner collection’s fluid design codes. It represents a pivotal moment in the trilogy, trading speed for substance and embodying the quiet gravity of objects that speak through presence rather than spectacle.
The dial of the Streamliner Genesis 2 is crafted from Vantablack®, the darkest material ever created, absorbing 99.965% of light to create a striking backdrop for pixelated hour and minute hands with Globolight® inserts. Its design detail echoes the pixelated bezel and crown of the first Genesis, now reinterpreted in a more introspective register.
Meanwhie, the crown itself is made from 3D-printed titanium, a tactile reminder of the trilogy’s origins in digital experimentation. Beneath the surface lies the HMC 203 automatic calibre, featuring a solid 18-carat gold oscillating weight, a Straumann® hairspring, and a minimum three-day power reserve. With anthracite finishing, Moser double stripes, and partially skeletonized bridges visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement balances technical refinement with aesthetic depth.
Conceived not as a series of products but as a dramatic narrative, the Genesis trilogy builds tension across its chapters. To preserve its intimate spirit, this edition is available exclusively to the fifty owners of the Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis, each invited to extend the circle to one chosen individual.
