H. Moser & Cie. steps into ceramic with the Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic, and the choice feels inevitable rather than loud. Anthracite grey case and bracelet, red fumé Grand Feu enamel dial, and not a single index or logo in sight. The restraint is the statement.
The cushion case and fully integrated bracelet in ceramic carry Moser’s familiar play of light – vertical satin on the links, polished edges, circular satin on the case – now translated into a tougher, colder medium. Ceramic is light, hypoallergenic, and stable. It does not forgive sloppy finishing, which is exactly why it suits a brand that prefers craft over chatter.
Then the dial: a hammered white gold base, two enamel pigments washed, ground, and layered to a gradient, fired repeatedly until the color breathes. The red is deep, almost molten, yet never shouty. Removing text and markers lets the surface do the talking. It speaks clearly.
At 6 o’clock, a one-minute flying tourbillon animates the calm. Inside ticks the HMC 805 automatic calibre with a double hairspring from Precision Engineering AG. Two matched hairsprings help center the breathing of the balance and improve isochronism – a thoughtful, mechanical solution rather than an academic flex. The movement wears anthracite bridges with Moser double stripes and a skeletonised 18-carat red gold rotor, a quiet contrast that rewards a second look.
The numbers are measured: 40.0 mm across, 11.0 mm without the crystal and 12.8 mm with it, water resistance to 12 ATM. Hours and minutes only, with Globolight® in the hands for legibility that does not compromise the dial’s purity. The ceramic bracelet closes with a three-blade folding clasp.
This Streamliner does not chase novelty for its own sake. It uses ceramic to underline form, not to cosplay toughness. The tourbillon is there to serve rate stability and visual rhythm, not to steal the show. If you like your watches to reveal how they were thought through – not just how they were announced – this one reads like a careful paragraph in a longer Moser essay.
