The luxury independent marque reimagines its coveted tourbillon creation in anthracite ceramic
For a brand that has built its reputation on restraint, proportion, and mechanical integrity, first steps matter. With the Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic, H. Moser & Cie. introduces ceramic to its repertoire for the first time, recasting its signature cushion-shaped case and integrated bracelet in anthracite grey ceramic.
The 40mm case and bracelet are executed entirely in this material, finished with alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces that trace the Streamliner’s fluid contours. Fans of ceramic watches will know by now that the material’s appeal is more than skin deep. Lightweight, highly resistant to wear, and gentle on the skin, ceramic offers durability suited to daily use while maintaining a tactile feel uncommon for a mineral-based compound.
The material’s lustrous raven sheen frames a red fumé grand feu enamel dial, featuring the brand’s now-famous gradated tones and minimalist execution that does away with a logo and hour markers indices. Sporting engraved indentations to mimic the look of a hammered texture, the dial’s appearance is rich and full of depth, yet nuanced, emanating a hue that shifts subtly in changing light.

At six o’clock, a one-minute flying tourbillon provides visual drama and the anchor of the watch’s technical prowess. Powering the watch is the in-house automatic HMC 805 calibre with three-day power reserve, equipped with a double hairspring designed to enhance precision by counteracting positional deviations as they expand and contract. Complementing the mechanical distinction is the artfully crafted movement components with bridges treated in anthracite tones, contrasted by a skeletonised red gold oscillating weight.
