The H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Tourbillon Vantablack Made From 5N Red Gold is Stunningly Gorgeous

The Streamliner with a startling contrast: vantablack with a tourbillon. Hour markers on the dial stand out against the Vantablack background, which is so dark that they seem to be piercing the material.

Between August 29th to September 1st 2022, H. Moser & Cie. will debut the Streamliner Tourbillon Vantablack at Geneva Watch Days.

The first Streamliner not made of steel is made from the rarest of all precious metals, 5N red gold, in keeping with the "Very Rare" concept of the Swiss luxury watchmaker. The newest iteration of H. Moser & Cieclassic .'s Streamliner design has an automated calibre with a flying tourbillon.

The Vantablack dial of this watch provides striking contrast to the gold 40 mm body and band. Vantablack® is a revolutionary coating borrowed from the aviation sector and utilised in astrophysics; it is composed of carbon nanostructures that absorb 99.965 percent of all light. For the sake of the fragile Vantablack, the indices are affixed to the dial from behind.

This extraordinary watch is driven by a flying tourbillon that seems to float at 6 o'clock and operates for one minute at a time. The tourbillon window, with its skeletonized bridges, provides a clear view of the whole mechanism. Precision Engineering AG, a subsidiary of H. Moser & Cie., designed and manufactured the double hairspring used in the HMC 804 calibre automated movement. These paired hairsprings provide for greater precision and isochronism by compensating for the shift in each spring's centre of gravity as it lengthens and reducing the impact of friction.

The suggested retail price of the Streamliner Tourbillon Vantablack is USD 119,900.

More About H. Moser & Cie

At the start of the 19th century, Heinrich Moser, a young entrepreneur determined to pave his own way, founded this premium timepiece firm. Born in Schaffhausen to a family of watchmakers, he followed in his ancestors' footsteps and learnt the craft of watchmaking. After becoming the go-to expert for aristocracy in Saint Petersburg, he created H. Moser & Cie in 1828, constructing a factory in Switzerland that employed several hundred craftspeople. It is believed that he created around 500,000 timepieces throughout his lifetime. These timepieces varied from basic three-hand models to "grande complexities." Heinrich Moser is also well-known for his contributions to the industrialization of Schaffhausen, most notably the construction of the first Swiss dam with hydro-mechanical turbines for energy production; the rest, as they say, is history. H. Moser & Cie is headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.
