H. Moser & Cie. debuts the new beautiful and complex Endeavour Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon Aqua Blue. Available in either a red gold or titanium case and limited to 20 pieces of each, the timepiece features the new HMC 904 flying tourbillon and minute repeater movement. Both models retail for $365,000.
H. Moser & Cie. showcases the new minute repeater movement by revealing the complex chime mechanism for the hours, quarter-hours and minutes on the dial side. The hammers and gongs twirl together with the one-minute flying tourbillon. The chimes (which are placed on one level to preserve the finesse of the piece) had to be curved so as not to interfere with the flying tourbillon. The dial is created from “Grand Feu” enamel in brand-new Aqua Blue on a base with a hammered texture and it doesn’t feature any logos or indices.
The 40 mm diameter case in either red gold or titanium, has been widened in order to accommodate the movement while allowing enough space to create a soundbox. This intensifies the chiming of hours, quarter-hours and minutes by two gongs, onto which fall two hammers that are raised based on information provided by different feeler-spindles.
At six o’clock, the one-minute flying tourbillon can be seen behind a skeletonised bridge. The one-minute flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock, visible through the skeletonized bridge, floats weightlessly above the “Grand Feu” enamel dial. This dial, in a striking shade of aqua blue, showcases an ombré effect achieved by the painstaking hand-placement of four different shades of pigments. A translucent “Grand Feu” enamel dial must be fired twelve times in total to create the signature H. Moser & Cie. fumé effect. This process makes each dial unique.
The timepiece features the HMC 904 hand-wound calibre that can be admired through various skeletonised parts.
