SOUND WITH AN OPEN HEART

At H. Moser & Cie., we don’t hide our complications. They are meant to be seen and heard. With the Endeavour Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton, the Schaffhausen-based Manufacture pushes this approach to its limit: a fully skeletonised minute repeater, with its mechanism in the foreground, paired with a flying tourbillon equipped with a cylindrical hairspring. Two pinnacles of traditional watchmaking brought together in a single piece with a resolutely contemporary architecture, housed in a 40 mm titanium case. Time as a spectacle.

Placing the hammers and chimes on the dial side is not merely an aesthetic choice; it’s a deliberate statement. The minute repeater steps out of the shadows to take centre stage. This radical construction required a complete rethinking of the movement: curved chimes, positioned on the same plane, with volumes precisely adjusted. Everything is visible, therefore everything must be flawless. Full skeletonisation takes this logic to its extreme. Openworked bridges, airy structures, the interplay of space and tension: this watch truly breathes. The gaze moves freely, drawn to the details, held by the balance of the whole.

At 2 o’clock, an unexpected counterpoint interrupts this deliberate transparency: a small domed sub-dial, Funky Blue fumé with the H. Moser & Cie. logo in transparent lacquer, like a secret signature. A burst of colour at the heart of the mechanics, the time is displayed serenely, almost weightlessly, while everything around it vibrates, moves and resonates.

The 40 mm case is not merely a display element; it is an instrument. Everything has been designed for sound. The sliding bolt, mounted on a Teflon runner, is integrated into the main plate to optimise space. The case middle has been hollowed out as much as possible to create a genuine sound box. Each volume contributes to the transmission of vibrations.

The choice of titanium is self-evident. Light, rigid and with low damping, it preserves vibrational energy instead of dissipating it. The result is a chime that is fuller, longer and clearer. A note that lingers, perfectly placed. Because producing a functional minute repeater is one thing. Creating a perfectly tuned melody is something else altogether.

And this sonic architecture contains an added dimension: a one-minute flying tourbillon equipped with a cylindrical hairspring. Inherited from 18th-century marine chronometers, this hairspring rises perpendicularly around the upper stem of the balance staff. Its concentric geometry improves isochronism and reduces friction,qualities further enhanced when paired with a tourbillon.

Today, the cylindrical hairspring is difficult to produce because it requires specialised expertise and tools. The teams at Precision Engineering AG, H. Moser & Cie.’s sister company, have revived this expertise, with each cylindrical hairspring shaped by hand – a process that takes ten times longer than for a traditional spring.

Suspended within this openworked architecture, the tourbillon appears to float, interacting with the hammers and chimes. The attention moves from sound to movement, from vibration to oscillation. Two mechanical languages, one unified breath.

Driving this exceptional creation, the fully skeletonised, hand-wound HMC 909 calibre reworks a traditional aesthetic into an understated and minimalist style, adding the final touch of elegance to this disruptive new piece.

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

BALTIC x SpaceOne – Seconde Majeure Jump Hour Edition

BALTIC x SpaceOne Watches – Seconde Majeure Brushed and Charbonné Jump Hour Edition 2026

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

A PARISIAN INCIDENT 

People are tied together, not brands. There is seemingly no reason for entities like the Baltic and SpaceOne to collaborate. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

Two philosophies are at odds. Baltic makes vintage-inspired watches, playing with traditional watchmaking’s codes and modern construction. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

On the opposite side, SpaceOne offers spaceshi-looking watches with a deconstructed approach to time reading. One blends heritage with precision. The other redesigns tomorrow for fun. Yet, the two are tied together by friendship. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

Foundation was laid in 2021 in Baltic’s headquarters. French Watchmakers were invited to discover the brand’s new office and share a moment together.  

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

 Théo Auffret and Guillaume Laidet met on that occasion, making it the start of their friendship and what would become SpaceOne. Five years later, that bond gave life to a watch, the Seconde Majeure

DESTRUCTURED DISPLAY 

The Seconde Majeure takes a kinematic approach to time reading. Time is decentralized, traditional hands make way for sapphire discs, all in favor of an exclusive complication module. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Hours are read at 12 o’clock and minutes at 6 o’clock, guided by an arrow ending crosshair. The forward-looking typography stamped on the discs brings contrast to the otherwise classic assembly.

A large seconds hand glides above, bringing motion to the seemingly still composition and giving its name to the watch: Seconde Majeure

VERTICALITY: TYING FORM TO FUNCTION
 
Offering an ingenious architecture, the Seconde Majeure is designed around its complication. The jumping-hour module - developed by Théo Auffret - relies on three visible components.
 
Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  
 
A Central Control Wheel lies beneath the minute disc. It makes a full rotation in 60 minutes. When it completes a full rotation, it engages with the Star Wheel. The later has 12 teeth, corresponding to the 12 hours displayed on the disc attached above.

The Jumper Spring, visible to the left, keeps pressure on the Star Wheel, maintaining it centered. It is also responsible for the “jump” of the hour disc. Pressure builds when the Star Wheel begins its rotation.

The hour jumps when the spring settles back between the next teeth. The dial ties the face together. Cut from a single piece of maillechort, it is both decorative and essential. The plate supports the module and allows the watch to function.

EXCLUSIVE FINISHING

The watch is available with two different dial finishes: Vertical brushed or “Charbonné”.

This signature technique is performed by expert watchmakers in Théo Auffret’s atelier. Done exclusively by hand, it requires up to three hours of work, giving each watch a truly unique character.

A TIMELESS CASE

Housing a SpaceOne module in a Baltic case would have been too easy. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

We aimed at something new, something none of us would have made without the other. The result is an entirely new design. Inspired by independent watchmaking, the Seconde Majeure is fitted with a 38.5mm case.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

The Mid-case, lugs, and case back are brushed with contrast provided by a polished concave bezel. This shape and finish are mirrored on the lugs. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

Arched and low-hanging, the lugs help the watch to sit naturally on the wrist. The feeling is complemented by a strap crafted by Delugs. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO    

Made from beige Alcantara® and featuring curved spring bars, it hugs both the wrist and the case.

LIMITED IN TIME

The Seconde Majeure will be available for pre-order for from May 12th to May 17th. Each watch is individually numbered on the case back.

Production will be limited by the number of orders placed during these six days.

Frederique Constant – CLASSICS Carree Ladies By Felipao – Blush Edition

 

Frederique ConstantCLASSICS LADIES Carrée Felipao – Blush Edition Pink Designed by Felipao Kaleidoscope Dial - 2026

 Classics Carrée Felipao – Blush Edition:
A tribute to the star that shines within every woman

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The Geneva-based manufacturer Frédérique Constant joins forces once again with Spanish artist Felipao to unveil their second collaboration: the Classics Carrée Felipao – Blush Edition. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The piece is defined by a single motif, the straight line, and a single colour, fuchsia pink, and is accompanied by a star-shaped keyring. This radiant and uplifting original creation celebrates women in all their roles – as mothers, wives, partners, friends and sisters.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Three years may have passed since their last collaboration, but the creative partnership between Frédérique Constant and Spanish artist Felipao continues to thrive. Their first collaboration in 2023 embraced a distinctly masculine spirit, centred around the Highlife Automatic COSC, but repeating that formula was never an option. For their next chapter, Frédérique Constant and Felipao turned toward a wholly feminine vision, giving rise to the Carrée Felipao – Blush Edition.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Granted full creative freedom, Felipao set aside soft, familiar pastels in favour of a joyful and optimistic fuchsia pink. The Classics Carrée Felipao – Blush Edition is an expression of freedom, independence and joy. Its dial is constructed from a series of nested squares, enhanced by a subtle interplay of grained and sunray finishes across two tiers. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This creates a kaleidoscopic effect on the dial, naturally drawing the eye to its centre, where the hours and minutes unfold. Two hands, nothing more. Felipao opted for a pared-back design that gives pride of place to colour and texture, in keeping with his own artistic style. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

There is no seconds hand, no date. The Classics Carrée Felipao – Blush Edition keeps things simple. Yet, at 12 o’clock, a star-shaped appliqué serves as a subtle reminder that every woman is a star. Eleven aquamarine Swarovski crystal hour markers complete the constellation.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The seven-link steel bracelet reasserts the watch’s original purpose: the wristwatch as a chic yet unconventional accessory, adding a touch of character to the everyday. The watch also comes with a charm keyring, adorned with the twin star and the Frédérique Constant emblem.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

 The Classics Carrée Felipao – Blush Edition is an artistic statement, where creative expression and femininity meet in a joyful surge of optimism. Its radiant aesthetic celebrates the individuality and strength of all women, while exuding an energy that is both refined and resolutely contemporary.

=====================

 ABOUT FELIPAO

Felipao is the artist’s name of Felipe Garcia-Bañon Sanz-Briz. Born in Madrid and son of a diplomat, he has lived halfway around the world. This cosmopolitan life and the exposure to different cultures have allowed him to have a multifaceted vision of the world.

Throughout these years he has exhibited collectively and individually in Germany, the United States, Hong Kong, Mexico and the United Kingdom. In 2022 in Guadamur (Toledo) he has installed his first sculpture on the public road. His works are in important private collections.

His Menina has been chosen as an institutional gift from the Community of Madrid to be given to illustrious visitors and as an award at the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute awards in New York.  Similarly, one of his sculptures has been selected by the Spanish Football League as a gift to the 1,100 first and second division players in the 2022-2023 season.

TO THE
LITTLE PRINCE

Schaffhausen/Geneva, 14th April, 2026: IWC Schaffhausen unveils the Portofino Automatic Day & Night 34 Le Petit Prince at Watches and Wonders in Geneva. Crafted in durable stainless steel and featuring a deep blue dial with a sunrise finish, this elegant dress watch marks the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer’s first Portofino model paying tribute to “The Little Prince”.

As a charming nod to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s world-famous novel, the Little Prince is depicted standing on the golden moon in the watch’s day and night display at 6 o’clock.

Since it was first published over 80 years ago, “The Little Prince” has remained immensely popular with both children and adults. The enchanting story follows a Little Prince as he embarks on a journey through space to faraway planets, gaining valuable insights along the way. In his most famous literary work,

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry explores profound philosophical themes such as love, loss, and friendship. One of the book’s iconic quotes is, “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” It serves as a potent reminder that true understanding and beauty come from emotions and feelings, rather than merely seeing. IWC Schaffhausen now introduces its first Le Petit Prince edition in the Portofino collection.

The Portofino Automatic Day & Night 34 Le Petit Prince (Ref. IW459806) features a compact 34-millimetre case crafted in durable stainless steel. The design of this elegant and timeless dress watch is complemented with a deep blue dial with gold-plated hands and appliques. These dials, which are treated with an elaborate sunray finish, are a signature feature of IWC’s special editions honoring Saint-Exupéry’s timeless tale.

A highlight of this watch is the day-and-night indication at 6 o’clock, which visualises the continuous transition between day and night and completes one full rotation every 24 hours. At noon or at midnight, either the sun or the moon appears in the upper section of the small disc, indicating whether it is currently day or night.

As a charming design detail, the Little Prince is depicted standing on the moon, gazing at the starry night sky. The stainless steel case back also features an engraving of the Little Prince.
