H. MOSER & CIE. – Venturer Small Seconds - White Gold Model, White Dial with Roman Numerals




















H. MOSER & CIE.Venturer Small Seconds - White Gold Model, White Dial with Roman Numerals  NEW


Launched in 2014, the Venturer collection has been widely acclaimed for its unique design, inspired by the convex shapes of the 1960s. In 2015, H. Moser & Cie. is exploring further by launching a resolutely neo-vintage model whose lacquered white dial, decorated with Roman numerals, features a champfered detailing on a circular flange as well as blued steel hands. This watch has an air of understated elegance which is perfectly in tune with the purest art of traditional watchmaking and which hearkens back to the style of the historic pocket watches created by Heinrich Moser.

The Venturer Small Seconds has only been available to date in red gold, and the warmth of this material provides an exceptional accompaniment to the soft, sensual lines of the case. Sophisticated and ultra-refined, its dial of this white gold model is a modern reinterpretation of the watches of the 1920s.

Featuring a convex profile beneath its rounded sapphire crystal, this timepiece – like the rest of the Venturer models – has a dial and hands with curved edges, making the most of its three dimensions. Set onto a plate and accentuated by champfered detailing on a flange separated from the bezel, the dial appears to float weightlessly inside the case.

The long, tapered hands are made from blued steel, in the purest watchmaking tradition, where the treatment to achieve the blue colour has always been a sign of prestige. They heighten the elegance of this timepiece. The small second recalls the historic pocket watches created by H. Moser & Cie. Offset at 6 o'clock, this subdial is positioned as close as possible to the bottom of the main dial, a technical feat made possible thanks to the exceptional in-house movement fitted within this creation.

Powering the Venturer Small Seconds, the hand-wound calibre HMC 327 movement guarantees the watch boasts a minimum power reserve of 3 days. Designed, developed and produced entirely in-house, this movement has been finished and decorated by hand using traditional techniques, perfectly in tune with the model's pure and elegant style.

Harry Winston – Project Z9 Chronograph Flyback Edition















Harry WinstonProject Z9 Chronograph Flyback Edition NEW

The House of Harry Winston introduces Project Z, a high-tech timepiece collection, dedicated to one of the most prestigious complications housed within a sports-like exterior. In keeping with the line’s innovative spirit, the Project Z9 channels a technically sophisticated vibe, which expresses a strong sense of performance through its case, dial and movement.

Like all iterations of Harry Winston’s Project Z, the case of Project Z9 is entirely made in Zalium™, an exclusive alloy, with a range of technical and aesthetic qualities that make it a truly unique material. Zalium’s™ ultra-light and non-allergenic properties make the 44.2 mm case exceptionally comfortable to wear, while its outstanding resistance to corrosion guarantees both its longevity and robustness. Ultimately, it is Zalium’s™, dark gray shade that sets it apart from materials traditionally used in men’s watches. The case of Project Z9 is satin-finished on the smooth surfaces, while the edges are shot-blasted.

The Project Z9 is driven by a high-frequency movement, for the first time. The new HW3304 chronograph caliber is equipped with a silicon balance-spring, which permanently beats at a frequency of 5 Hz. This oscillation speed guarantees Project Z9 a particularly precise rate. Caliber HW3304 is also equipped with a flyback function, so there is no need to stop the chronograph to begin a new timing operation, since the hands are reset by simply pressing the pusher at 4 o’clock. Its white gold oscillating weight is skeletonized, revealing a signature Harry Winston geometrical motif. The bridges and plates are chamfered, rhodium plated and adorned with a circular Côtes de Genève motif, in keeping with the traditions of haute horlogerie.

The resolutely modern nature of Project Z9 is also expressed on its dial, which is composed of an open-worked 3D grid bearing the indications. This skeletonized frame extends up over the inner bezel ring towards the indexes. The resulting effect is accentuated by two raised chronograph counters, painted in blue that stand out against a white background. The blue color lights up the dial both during the day and at night, since the hands and indexes of Project Z9 are enhanced with blue-emission Superluminova. The shade is also highlighted on the open-work date disk that changes background colors based on the time of day - white by day, and blue by night.

With its exceptional movement, and a Zalium™ case that boasts remarkable properties, along with a complex dial, Project Z9 asserts itself as a chronograph that is at once technical, practical and exclusive. Like its predecessors, this ninth chapter in the Project Z saga will be issued in a limited-edition, with only 300 being produced.
