In a world where discretion is often dressed as a virtue, H. Moser & Cie. instead chooses the insolence of colour. Vivid turquoise, dazzling orange, and the most daring of combinations. Meet the three new Pioneer models: three jolts of watchmaking power, ready to electrify wrists. Three steel models, water-resistant to 12 ATM. From the Pioneer Centre Seconds model equipped with the HMC 201 automatic movement, to the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton with the HMC 811 movement, via the Pioneer Tourbillon pulsing to the beat of the calibre HMC 805 with double hairspring, they are designed for all kinds of adventure, on land, underwater, and in full colour.

They do not pay tribute to an era, or highlight a partnership. These watches exist for themselves, like wearable works of art. Through their contrasting palette, they make a bold statement, offering a tropical cocktail of colours for their dial, each with its own personality and one of the H. Moser & Cie. Manufacture calibres. Three technical temperaments. A single chromatic energy.

Ready to face any situation, the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton, Pioneer Tourbillon and Pioneer Centre Seconds Spiced Aqua live life to the fullest. On the Pioneer Centre Seconds and Pioneer Tourbillon models, the leaf-shaped hands feature coloured Super-LumiNova®, echoed by the matching luminescent inner flange. Orange on turquoise or turquoise on orange, it is a vibrant pairing, especially in this Concept version, with no logo or indices. As for the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton, the small orange domed sub-dial, which sits atop the fully skeletonised dial, features the H. Moser & Cie. logo in transparent lacquer and has indices and hands with turquoise Globolight® inserts. Each of these three creations is housed in a steel case, equally happy on land and underwater, down to 12 ATM.

The Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Spiced Aqua hides nothing. Its architecture, which houses the HMC 811 skeleton calibre, is open, almost sculptural. In its centre: a flying tourbillon with cylindrical hairspring, designed and produced in-house, as rare as it is hypnotising. There is no luminescent flange here: the light comes from inside, from the skeleton itself. A moving sculpture, a technical manifesto, a declaration of independence.

Flamboyant orange on the dial, turquoise on the strap, a luminescent flange which glows like neon at dusk. The Pioneer Tourbillon Spiced Aqua is not aiming for neutrality. Instead, it imposes its own rhythm. At its heart, the HMC 805 automatic Manufacture calibre is equipped with a double hairspring designed and produced in-house. The very best of watch engineering, in a constant state of levitation. A watch that makes heads turn faster than its tourbillon!

Striking turquoise, immaculate white strap, and, once again, this luminescent flange which adds a playful note when darkness descends. The Pioneer Centre Seconds Spiced Aqua is powered by the HMC 201 automatic calibre and embodies the most effective simplicity, but with a style that is neither dull nor half-hearted. Three hands, zero compromise.

Fresh and bold, the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton, Pioneer Tourbillon and Pioneer Centre Seconds Spiced Aqua models can be paired with a rubber or leather strap or a steel bracelet, to match the mood of the day. A ray of sunshine in the muted world of Haute Horlogerie? More of a curtain-raiser. H. Moser & Cie. does not follow trends. It is ahead of them. Always with style.

H. Moser & Cie.'s own and unique take on Haute Horlogerie.
