H. MOSER & CIE. – Venturer Tourbillon Dual Time NEW
H. Moser & Cie. exhibits entrepreneurial flair with the creation of
the Venturer Tourbillon Dual Time , an elegant watch bringing together
very rare elements. The automatic manufacture calibre HMC 802 uses
the first tourbillon ever developed by H. Moser & Cie.

This
tourbillon is like no other thanks to two ingenious features invented by
H. Moser & Cie. Firstly, the state-of-the-art Straumann Double
Hairspring® further improves the accuracy and isochronism of the new
in-house manufacture movement. Secondly, the Moser Interchangeable
Tourbillon Module facilitates servicing with a unique construction. The
result: the perfect combination of elegant and functional design.

The
Venturer Tourbillon Dual Time is a very rare timepiece. Its design
is infused with elements from traditional pocket watches and the
1920s
Bauhaus era, and it features a convex crystal seen in watches of the
1960s. The choice of features and functions is inspired by Heinrich
Moser’s professional ventures in St. Petersburg, Russia, where the young
Moser created complicated pocket watches for the Imperial Court.

The
Venturer Tourbillon Dual Time incorporates an exceptional dial that
is cambered towards the edge of its surface following the curve of the
sapphire glass and accentuating the finishing. The swallow-shaped
hands are curved to follow the profile of the dial. Slender, elongated
applied hour markers collaborate with the golden hour and minute hands
to impart time with notable legibility. The bottom portion of the dial
is stepped lower and features chamfering between the two surfaces to
highlight the two dial levels. The resultant mien delivers a highly
sophisticated, refined impression.

The minute tourbillon, positioned at 6 o’clock, entices the eyes to view
the inner workings of the automatic movement, the manufacture calibre
HMC 802, visible behind the polished, open-worked gold
tourbillon bridge. The crystal is convex in profile, accentuating the
dial and tourbillon.
The dual time function is provided with an
additional red hour-hand conveying the travel time, when needed. In
keeping with the reserved character of
H. Moser timepieces, the red hand
can be hidden from view when it is not required via the crown.

The crown features the
Moser “M” and the curved lines of the satin-brushed area embellish the case band adjacent to highly-polished,
sinuously-recessed flanks. The short horns entice the hand-stitched
alligator strap and 18-carat gold folding clasp into a secure,
comfortable union between the wearer and his cherished timepiece.

Automatic calibre HMC 802 – A world first
The
HMC 802 is introduced with the
Venturer Tourbillon Dual Time.
This movement represents another milestone for
H. Moser & Cie., the
entrepreneurial company that demonstrates ingenuity and technical
excellence. Featuring a minute tourbillon, a dual-time function and a
convenient self-winding system, the
Tourbillon Dual Time runs at a
frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The unique construction of the
Moser Interchangeable Tourbillon Module includes a Straumann Double
Hairspring®. Indeed, it is this latter aspect which bestows enhanced
accuracy and isochronism, two inherent qualit ies of the
HMC 802.

With its
Moser Interchangeable Tourbillon module, the
HMC 802
features a world first, harnessing “blue-sky thinking”. The module is
assembled and regulated independently of the movement , with a simple
“plug-and-play system”, facilitating servicing by a competent watchmaker
without requiring tourbillon expertise.

When the tourbillon was conceived in the 18th century
for use in a pocket watch, the complication negated the effect of
gravitational forces. The result conferred enhanced accuracy when the
watch was held in a vertical plane. This is an objective which remains
valid to this day. However, wristwatches are held in a multitude of
positions in ordinary use, hence some of the benefits of a conventional
tourbillon are lost. The Straumann Double Hairspring® ingeniously
optimises accuracy with a pair of matched hairsprings, which the
gravitational influence on each spring being countered by the opposing
spring, irrespective of the position of the timepiece. This allows the
centre of gravity to remain in the middle of the hairsprings, improving
accuracy. In addition, the paired Straumann Hairsprings® also reduce the
effect of friction normally experienced with a single hairspring,
improving isochronism. The result is a tourbillon more appl icable to
the needs of wearers in the 21st century.

This critical component of the movement was developed together with
Precision Engineering AG, a sister company of
H. Moser & Cie.
specialised in the development and production of hairsprings and
escapements, at the same premises in Neuhausen am Rheinfall. This
innovative double hairspring technology is featured in a limited number
of other
H. Moser timepieces.

To power the movement automatically, a bi-directional pawl winding
system transfers the energy from the 18-carat solid red gold rotor to
the barrel. The system energises the mainspring when turning in either
direction, reducing the time required to fully wind the watch. The
HMC
802 has a minimum power reserve of three days.
The red-gold rotor features the
H. Moser company hallmark and is
open-worked to view the movement below. The rhodium-plated movement
includes chamfered bridges, decorated with the famous
Moser stripes and
gold engraving. There is a deliberate gap between the bridges for a
better view of the circular grained wheels of the gear train, indulging
purists’ eyes with a view of the flawless finishing of the movement. The
exceptional design of the tourbillon as a module, along with the
open-worked tourbillon bridge and the screwed balance, stands testament
to the no-compromise creation of the
HMC 802.
