In a world where some collaborations feel like they’ve been pulled out of a marketing hat, H. Moser & Cie. and Pierre Gasly have brought us a refreshing breeze of authenticity. The brand-new Streamliner Tourbillon Pierre Gasly is not just an homage to a Formula 1 icon – it’s practically a love letter written in the language of fine watchmaking.
The magic began with a meeting between Pierre Gasly and the watchmakers of H. Moser & Cie. As they’d describe it, Pierre was more than just a pretty face for the campaign; he was hands-on in designing the watch, insisting on incorporating a tourbillon and choosing everything from the movement to the color of the dial. The result? A timepiece that didn’t just bear his name; it also mirrored his racing spirit.
Let’s talk about the Chocolate fumé dial, a hue named and loved by Pierre himself, and as decadent as a Swiss chocolate fondue. Paired with a sleek 5N red gold case, it’s a visual game of tug-of-war between elegance and sportiness – a classic nod to Pierre’s racing finesse.
At the heart of this watch lies the HMC 805 calibre, a mechanical wonder with a one-minute flying tourbillon that twirls hypnotically at six o’clock. This watch doesn’t just keep time; it dances with it, in perfect rhythm thanks to the double hairspring designed by Precision Engineering AG, H. Moser & Cie.’s brainy sibling.
This masterpiece is offered in two variants: a sporty version with a chocolate-colored rubber strap, limited to 100 pieces, and a more exclusive variant limited to just 10 pieces. These exclusive ten pieces showcase Pierre’s racing number on full display – with a subtle ruby set at 10 o’clock, hidden in plain sight like a red flag on a racetrack.
The Streamliner Tourbillon Pierre Gasly was dramatically launched amidst the nocturnal glamor of the Singapore Grand Prix, where the ambiance echoed F1’s electric vibes. On Pierre’s wrist, it was as if the watch had found its natural habitat.
