H. Moser & Cie. has taken a key step in its development, deciding to get closer to its customers by offering them the opportunity to purchase its creations through a brand new online sales platform.

To celebrate the launch of this platform, H. Moser & Cie. has created three remarkable editions, with an aesthetic guaranteed to make an impact: these three models feature a dial made from Vantablack®, the blackest black ever produced by artificial means. Equipped – for the first time – with black hands, they reveal the time like a quietly whispered secret. With neither logo nor indices, H. Moser & Cie. proves once more that the heart of the Haute Horlogerie sector lies not simply in displaying the time, but rather in eliciting emotion.

H. Moser & Cie. showcases Vantablack® on the dial of its Venturer Vantablack® Black Hands, available in a choice of two diameters (39 mm and 43 mm for the XL version), and its Endeavour Tourbillon Vantablack® Black Hands model. With neither logo nor indices, this dial is the manufacture's ode to minimalism and understatement. Ultra-contemporary, pared down, and timeless.

Vantablack® is the blackest black ever produced by artificial means. It is composed of carbon nanotubes that are 10,000 times finer than a human hair, aligned vertically alongside each other. When a photon hits Vantablack®, this material absorbs 99.965% of the light. As our eyes need reflected light to perceive what we are looking at, Vantablack® is perceived as the absence of matter, a black hole.

Although it’s resistant to shocks and vibrations, Vantablack® remains a material which is extremely delicate to handle. H. Moser & Cie. had to put a structure in place and develop special processes to successfully work with this material. Once behind the sapphire crystal, Vantablack® is protected as if in a safe. There, it can express itself completely and seems to radiate the full power of its perfect blackness.

An innovative material developed for astrophysics, Vantablack® is used in telescopes, and also by the military for thermal camouflage, to increase the stealth level of certain equipment. And that is exactly the role it is playing here: H. Moser & Cie. is taking advantage of its expertise in Vantablack® to propose a new use for this material, creating exceptional timepieces. These extremely rare models offer high added value in terms of both their innovation and their emotional scope. These models represent a switch to stealth mode, only revealing the time to those wearing them on their wrist, with the blackened hands keeping their secret well-hidden. This effect is further reinforced on the Endeavour Tourbillon Vantablack® Black Hands model, with its DLC-coated steel case.

Amazingly, the story of these three models started as a joke. On April Fools' Day 2019, H. Moser & Cie. posted a touched-up photo of a watch with a black dial and blackened hands on social media, with these being, of course, invisible. Faced with an avalanche of requests from interested customers and the buzz which followed, H. Moser & Cie. had to take it seriously.

United around the values of cutting-edge technology, timeless design and emotion, the Venturer Vantablack® Black Hands, Venturer Vantablack® Black Hands XL and Endeavour Tourbillon Vantablack® Black Hands models are perfect for our modern times. And what is more, they are available to purchase via an online sales platform set up by H. Moser & Cie. Find them online and from approved retailers now.

Manufacture Royale – SPIRIT ADN Spirit Collection

Manufacture Royale – SPIRIT ADN Spirit Limited Edition Collection

ADN Spirit - The evolution continues

Artisan of tomorrow - The world of Manufacture Royale is defined by a particular and authentic kind of luxury. The source of its singularity is its ability to draw inspiration from the great watchmaking tradition and transform it into an original expression. The brand's legacy is rooted in the future, which is the source of inspiration for its limitless creativity. The evolution continues, and a different interpretation of watchmaking emerges through it.

The ADN Spirit collection is the expression of the Manufacture Royale identity. The aesthetics is structured around a three-dimensional architecture of sculptural forms. The characteristic style of the Opera et Androgyne collections is accentuated. It affirms its difference and power in a new expression.

Sculpting time - With a diameter of 46 mm, the ADN Spirit case stands out with tubular shafts enclosing a round middle part. Movable lugs at a 23° angle ensure optimal wearer comfort, even for those with small wrists. The screws, another distinctive element of the Manufacture Royale design, underline the technical nature of the case. They hold the bezel in place while marking the hours. This construction is magnified by the use of classic or innovative materials: steel or steel-DLC and forged carbon.

The mechanical architecture of the case gives all its power to the skeleton movement suspended between two sapphire crystals. Futuristic and technical, the aerial and symmetrical structure of the caliber MR010 is enhanced by the play of light, volume and colors.

To maximize the impression of depth, the R&D team designed three-dimensional bridges, whose lines of force create a perfect balance. Their manufacturing process requires a great deal of expertise and the use of 5-axis machines, which are the only ones capable of producing such complex shapes and angles. The barrel at noon and the balance wheel at 6 o’clock are held in an arc between the bridges. The gear train is transparent, making the flow of time visible.

In keeping with the canons of fine watchmaking, movement is the subject of high-end finishes. The bridges are treated with CVD; a fine deposit of a transparent metal oxide makes it possible to obtain distinct colors of unique depth. The barrel is built in such a way as to reveal its spring. The hour numerals are shown at noon and 6 o'clock on two neoralite decorations by embossed luminescent markers. The final touch is provided by syringe-type hands, which are also hollowed out at their center.

On the technical side, the hand-wound mechanical caliber MR010 indicates the hours, minutes and seconds on a subsidiary counter at 9 o'clock. Its variable-inertia balance wheel oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and its power reserve is 48 hours.

The model is available in different versions combining traditional and high-tech materials: anthracite or blue steel case and CVD movement finishing. Black forged carbon and steel-DLC case and CVD movement finishing with red markers and hands.

The Manufacture Royale ADN Spirit watch is worn on an alligator strap or a perfectly waterproof Néburtec strap. A folding steel clasp ensures wearer comfort and safety.
