When visionary minds come together, brilliance is born. Maximilian Büsser of MB&F and Edouard Meylan of H. Moser & Cie. have once again joined forces, creating a second exceptional timepiece for the prestigious Only Watch charity auction. This collaborative effort aims to raise funds for the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy. The result? A horological marvel named the H. Moser X MB&F Streamliner Pandamonium – a captivating watch that marries musical artistry with mechanical excellence.
Maximilian Büsser and Edouard Meylan are no strangers to innovation. Following the success of their first collaboration, these entrepreneurs have once again united their creative energies for a cause close to their hearts. Their shared passion and dedication have led to the birth of a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, showcasing the harmonious convergence of sound and aesthetics.
At the heart of the H. Moser X MB&F Streamliner Pandamonium beats a unique three-dimensional movement, meticulously crafted exclusively for the Only Watch auction. This exceptional timepiece boasts a minute repeater complication, skillfully integrated into the dial. This innovative design allows the wearer to not only see the passage of time but also hear it through the enchanting chimes of the minute repeater mechanism. The dial, adorned with a captivating Aquamarine fumé colorway, strips away logos and indices, reflecting the minimalist ethos of H. Moser & Cie. The large suspended balance wheel, characteristic of MB&F’s design, adds a touch of rhythmic elegance.
Dubbed the H. Moser X MB&F Streamliner Pandamonium, this watch pays homage to both its creators’ inventive spirit and the charitable cause it supports. The whimsical miniature DJing panda sculpture on the dial is a nod to MB&F’s iconic signature and a representation of joy. The panda, crafted from white gold, serves as a symbol of hope and resilience, capturing the essence of the Only Watch initiative. Its turntables, intricately connected to the movement’s rotation, playfully underscore the connection between watchmaking and music.
The technical marvels within the Streamliner Pandamonium extend beyond its aesthetic appeal. A suspended balance wheel, accompanied by a double hairspring, graces the core of the timepiece. This partnership of precision, courtesy of H. Moser & Cie.’s sister company Precision Engineering AG, ensures enhanced accuracy and isochronism. The intricately designed gongs, bending in two places to navigate the balance wheel bridge, add a layer of complexity that further elevates the auditory experience.
The cushion-shaped case, nestled within an integrated bracelet, frames the masterpiece. The minute repeater’s intricate mechanism is seamlessly integrated into the case, making way for a soundbox that amplifies the enchanting chimes. The meticulous design of the case maximizes the unique properties of steel, optimizing sound resonance and impact.
The hand-wound HMC 906 calibre, presented in a three-dimensional form, powers this horological marvel. Partially skeletonized to showcase key components, this movement reflects the pinnacle of contemporary craftsmanship. The collaboration’s brilliance shines through in every detail, from the anthracite grey rhodium-plated finishes to the signature double Moser stripes.
In the words of Edouard Meylan, “The H. Moser X MB&F Streamliner Pandamonium model is a one-off piece resulting from a unique development process, featuring a unique movement and a unique dial, created especially for Only Watch, and providing us with the opportunity to excel ourselves for a good cause.” This exceptional creation will undoubtedly resonate with collectors and aficionados of haute horologie. It will take center stage at the international Only Watch event, culminating in an auction on November 5th.
