H. MOSER & CIE. – VENTURER Small Seconds XL Purity Edition

H. MOSER & CIE. – VENTURER Small Seconds XL Purity Cosmic Green White Gold Edition

GREEN BECOMES PRECIOUS: 

THE VENTURER SMALL SECONDS XL PURITY 

FROM H. MOSER & CIE.

Cosmic green is the latest colour to be added to the H. Moser & Cie. collection. This audacious green, reminiscent of the jewel tones of the Northern Lights, continues in the spirit of the famed Funky Blue dial which has become both the brand's signature, and key to its reputation.

This colourway is featured on the Venturer Small Seconds XL Purity, an elegant watch which, at 43 mm, has the largest diameter offered by H. Moser & Cie. With a distinctive character, it advocates a return to the essential, illustrating the minimalist philosophy that "Less is More" with a dial that has no logo and features only the 4 main indices. Once again, H. Moser & Cie. has proven that authenticity can provide a power and dynamism which is rarely achieved.

Taking the best from the Concept Series and the other H. Moser watch families, the dial on the Venturer Small Seconds XL Purity features indices at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock. The logo is still absent, demonstrating the power of an iconic product: one glance at the fumé dial is enough to recognise the elegant yet sexy aesthetic of an H. Moser watch.

The beauty of the fumé dial shines through, unimpeded, further enhanced by the domed sapphire crystal, the exquisite bezel and the 43 mm diameter. As custom in haute horlogerie, and a tradition for H. Moser & Cie. watches since 1828, the company signature and hallmark appear on the movement side, a subtle reminder of its heritage.

H. Moser & Cie. enjoys combining design cues to create an unexpected effect. To subtly offset the classicism of the Venturer Small Seconds XL Purity, a raw kudu leather strap has been chosen to add a rugged touch to the watch. This shrewd choice by H. Moser & Cie. creates a classical model in the Haute Horlogerie style, but one designed for a modern audience, mavericks with their finger on the pulse of our times, looking for a compelling watch unlike any other.

At the heart of the Venturer Small Seconds XL Purity, with the convex shapes typical of the 1960s and design inspired by historic H. Moser pocket watches, beats an HMC 327 hand-wound Manufacture calibre.

Visible through the sapphire case-back, the movement has a power reserve of at least 3 days which is shown in an indicator on the reverse side of the watch.

MIDO – BELLUNA Blueray Caliber 80

MIDO – BELLUNA Blueray Caliber 80 Automatic

A subtle, dazzling timepiece

Elegant round forms and harmonious lines characterise the new Belluna Blueray. Its satin-finished and polished stainless steel case with rose PVD treatment gives it remarkable shine and presents a superb contrast with the deep blue dial. Finely worked with a sunray guilloché-style pattern, it was inspired by the splendid glass dome roof of London's Royal Albert Hall.

The refined curves of the Belluna Blueray also pay homage to this monument, which is one of the most famous in the United Kingdom. This model is equipped with a latest-generation automatic movement: the Caliber 80, which gives it up to 80 hours of power reserve. Subtle and dazzling, the Belluna Blueray is perfectly suited to all those who love timeless, classic watches.

Inaugurated in 1871 to promote the arts and science, London's Royal Albert Hall is now one of the most renowned concert halls in the United Kingdom. Built in a style true to the Victorian era, this huge red brick monument consists of a series of concentric circles. Its curvaceous, rounded architecture is impressively dominated by a central glass dome. Mido was inspired by this magnificent building to create the Belluna range, which displays perfectly harmonious forms and embodies timeless, classic elegance.

The new Belluna Blueray is a perfect expression of Mido's watchmaking expertise. Its harmonious lines and rounded design make it a resolutely timeless watch. It features a satin-finished and polished stainless steel case with rose PVD treatment, which gives it a remarkable shine. Measuring 42.5 mm in diameter, this elegant round case presents a magnificent contrast with the deep blue dial. Finely worked with a sunray guilloché-style pattern, it was inspired by the splendid glass dome roof of London's Royal Albert Hall. A faceted, domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment on both sides protects this sumptuous dial and allows the wearer to freely admire its fine design, hands and applied polished and sandblasted indexes. The day and date can be read through an aperture at 3 o’clock.

Despite its classic style, the Belluna Blueray houses a latest-generation automatic movement: the Caliber 80, which gives it up to 80 hours of power reserve. Thanks to the transparent case back, enthusiasts of fine watchmaking mechanics can admire the finely decorated Elaboré-grade movement, which features an oscillating weight adorned with Geneva stripes and the Mido logo.
