In 2015, H. Moser & Cie. is introducing a new dial – ardoise fumé – which is naturally paired with the Venturer in a white gold version. Fresh and dynamic, the sportiest of the fumé dials from H. Moser & Cie. brings an air of elegance and refinement when teamed with the beautifully rounded case of the Venturer Small Seconds.

This latest Venturer Small Seconds model created by H. Moser & Cie. features a white gold case and an ardoise fumé dial. Clearly identifiable, the fumé dials which take centre stage in Moser creations have become the brand's hallmark. To create these miniature works of art, H. Moser & Cie. has been partnering with the best dial-makers for generations. The product of tried-and-tested techniques and a complex production process, each dial is machined traditionally, coloured and finally finished by hand to achieve the subtle sunburst pattern which gives the colour its nuances and intensity.

For this Venturer Small Seconds, H. Moser & Cie. has created a brand new dial which blends the dynamic, contemporary appeal of ardoise, with the complexity of the fumé dial: the result is a piece with timeless beauty, bringing a new and modern twist to a classic look. A black alligator strap – with a carbon-effect matte finish – adds a sporty touch to this decidedly unconventional timepiece.

Under its ardoise fumé dial, the Venturer Small Seconds hides a hand-wound calibre HMC 327 manufacture movement, guaranteeing an impressive power reserve of 3 to 5 days.

RJ-Romain Jerome – TITANIC-DNA Steampunk Tourbillon Limited Edition
















RJ-Romain JeromeTITANIC-DNA Steampunk Tourbillon Limited Edition NEW

statement time-piece: the Steampunk Tourbillon

RJ-Romain Jerome pays tribute to the Industrial Revolution and to the artistic movement that followed by introducing a new addition to the Steampunk collection: The Steampunk Tourbillon Gunmetal.

Embracing a provocative aesthetic, this new model shares the brand’s bold and hedonistic spirit and draws its inspiration from the raw energy that emanates from machines and engines from the early 20th Century.

The black-PVD case and lugs behold a 50mm Gunmetal steel bezel that has been brushed by hand giving it a unique finish. Infused with the Steampunks’ aesthetic, the complex dial is the result of a collision between an imaginary retro-futuristic world and technical innovation.

Each detail of the dial tells a story: at 12 o’clock, you will discover the off-centred minutes and hours indicator that has been subtly traced in light grey, while the satin brushed hands highlight the mechanics of the mouvement as time passes. At 3 o’clock, the “machine room” is revealed thanks to an intricate mechanism highlighting two “tooth-wheels” that turn to the rhythm of the movement. The power reserve indicator resembles the lever that regulates the speed on a steam boat and unveils the delicate perlage where the RJ logo is discreetly nested.

The timepieces’ heart is placed at 6 o’clock featuring a mechanical flying tourbillon that has been designed in the shape of an anchor with a power reserve of 48 hours. The tourbillon’s cage has been slightly raised to allow a perfect view of its complex structure. At 9 o’clock, we are reminded of steam-powered engines with a large titanium piston that is connected to the movement, allowing it to move up and down at a pace of 30 seconds in each direction. The full view of the dial evokes the image of a sophisticated steam room with an industrial touch thanks to its satin brushed finish.

The case back of the timepiece hides other design characteristics true to the Steampunk aesthetic. An anchor shaped component with beautiful “Côtes de Genève” decorations, holds the tourbillon cage together. The barrel at 12 o’clock in the shape of a sun has been brushed from the centre to its exterior, leaving a remarkable circular pattern. Each timepiece in this limited collection of 25 is finished with an exquisite Hornback alligator strap highlighting the darkness and complexity of the dial.
