H. MOSER & CIE. PRESENTS THE STREAMLINER FLYBACK CHRONOGRAPH AUTOMATIC,
A NEW COLLECTION WITH STEEL INTEGRATED BRACELET
H. Moser & Cie. is entering
2020 with a creation certain to make an impact! A new line, a new case, a new integrated bracelet, a new movement, a new dial, and new hands... Everything is new, everything is different, yet everything is
Moser. Rather than imitate, the brand chooses to innovate, raising the existing rules to a new level. Fluid lines, geometric curves, dynamic forms, a harmony of contrasts and textures:
H. Moser & Cie. adopts minimalism as its guiding force, creating the first integrated automatic chronograph with a central display to offer a flyback function. Named the
Streamliner, it has its own distinct personality, is a strikingly different beauty, yet
100%
Moser.

Over five years ago,
H. Moser & Cie. started the development of an entirely new and unique product line. The initial idea was to design a steel case model with an integrated bracelet. The notion of fluidity and curved continuous lines quickly became inextricable. The name of this collection was an obvious choice: it would be
Streamliner, after the first high-speed trains from the Twenties and Thirties whose rounded and aerodynamic curves it evokes.

As key characteristic of the
H. Moser & Cie. identity, minimalism is
at the heart of the entire creation process, influencing everything
from the aesthetic of the
Streamliner to its movement and functions, as
Edouard Meylan,
CEO of
H. Moser & Cie., explains: "
We started with
the bracelet, comfortable, elegant and different. We then designed this
model around the chronograph function, as this was what we really wanted
to highlight. The Streamliner is a chronograph which displays the time
rather than a watch which features a chronograph. We preferred
understatement, ergonomics, and legibility, opting for a central display
with no sub dial: perfectly matching our minimalist philosophy. We took
the very essence of the chronograph, and raised it to the next level".

A CUSHION-SHAPE CASE WATCH
WITH INTEGRATED STEEL BRACELET
The
Streamliner Flyback Chronograph Automatic model is a form watch, with a steel cushion case
42.3 mm in diameter. With dynamic water resistance to 12 ATM, the chronograph function of the
Streamliner Flyback Chronograph Automatic can be used underwater.

Its off-centre crown, adorned with an "
M", balances the two
chronograph push-buttons set at 10 and 2 o'clock. Designed as a truly
sculptural piece, this case boasts harmonious proportions and beautiful
aerodynamics. It is topped by a subtly domed Glassbox type sapphire
crystal, echoed by the see-through case back.

These lines extend to the integrated steel bracelet, which is elegantly
curved to follow the shape of the wrist; the unique design of the links
ensures that it sits perfectly on even the most slender of wrists.
Highly complex in construction, this bracelet has extremely fluid lines,
based on organic forms.

All the links are articulated and feature a
gentle wave combining a vertical brushed finish with polished surfaces.
The bezel has a sunray brushed finish; the case has alternating brushed
and polished surfaces, with hollowed and satin-finished forms on the
sides, in a nod to the typical shapes of
Moser cases.

A WORLD FIRST
As far as the movement is concerned, the
Streamliner is the first automatic chronograph with a central display to feature a flyback function for the minutes and seconds. Its chronograph calibre is considered by a number of watchmaking experts to be one of the best ever made.

This new calibre was developed by
AGENHOR with support from the teams at
H. Moser & Cie. based on a philosophy very similar to the famous
H. Moser & Cie. perpetual
calendar, the cornerstone of the manufacture's success. The design
watch is extremely complex but the end result is simple, legible, and
minimalist, with an emphasis on functionality and ergonomics thanks to
the central display. In fact, by highlighting the chronograph function,
AGENHOR has rewritten all of the rules at the heart of chronograph technology which have followed for over
200 years.

With the aim of enabling the watch mechanism and the operation of the
chronograph and its column wheel to be admired, the oscillating weight
has been placed between the movement and the dial. Using the retrograde principle which allows the elapsed minute hand to
jump instantly using the energy accumulated and then released by a snail
cam, the calibre
HMC 902
allows the values to be read with greater accuracy. Featuring two
chronograph hands, one for the minutes and one for the seconds, and two
time display hands, one for the hours and one for the minutes, the
Streamliner Flyback Chronograph Automatic is nothing if not understated.
A NEW SIGNATURE DIAL
For the dial of the
Streamliner Flyback Chronograph Automatic,
H. Moser & Cie. has revisited the brand's signature element, the fumé dial. Featuring a new anthracite shade of grey, the dial is not only fumé, it is also griffé. Around the circumference are two white and red minute tracks, the outer one measuring the seconds and the inner one counting the minutes. At midday, the 60 numeral dominates the dial, harking back to the stopwatches of the
Sixties and
Seventies, when legibility and functionality were key.

Of course, for a chronograph, accuracy is everything: this is ensured
by the choice of hands to measure the elapsed time, which have a
thicker base and a fine tip, like those found on counters in cars or
measuring instruments. Always with a focus on legibility,
H. Moser &
Cie. has opted for a red seconds hand, while the minute hand is
rhodium-plated.

To display the hours and minutes,
H. Moser & Cie.
has selected three-dimensional curved hands, with two sections. These
have inserts containing
Globolight®, an innovative ceramic-based
material which contains Super-LumiNova® and has never before been used
on hands.
