H. Moser & Cie.: Endeavour Tourbillon Concept

H. Moser & Cie. enjoys combining design cues to create an unexpected effect and make the traditional sexy. In the Endeavour Tourbillon Concept, H. Moser & Cie. has extracted the essence of this complex mechanism combining it with the minimalist approach characteristic of the Schaffhausen-based Manufacture to emphasise the visual impact of the tourbillon. By associating it with the refined simplicity of the H. Moser fumé dials in their Concept style, without logo or indices, the Endeavour Tourbillon Concept represents an elegant yet contemporary reworking of the tourbillon.

Positioned at 6 o’clock, the eye-catching flying tourbillon takes centre stage in the pared-back dial; appearing to float weightlessly. The Endeavour Tourbillon Concept in white gold “case 42mm”  with the famous Funky Blue dial. Behind the skeleton bridge of the Moser minute tourbillon, the latest movement, the HMC 804 automatic calibre with three-day power reserve can be seen beating. Powering this movement, the oscillating weight transfers the energy to the barrel via a bi-directional pawl winding system which reduces the time required to fully wind the watch. Made from 18-carat solid red gold, the oscillating weight is skeletonised to reveal the mechanism beneath.

A marvel of ingenuity, this movement is equipped with a double flat hairspring designed and produced in-house. Thanks to this pair of matched hairsprings, the movement of the point of gravity on each spring when it expands is corrected, significantly improving accuracy and isochronism. In addition, the paired hairsprings also reduce the effect of friction normally experienced with a single hairspring, improving isochronism. Finally, the tourbillon’s unique design makes it an interchangeable module, assembled and regulated independently of the movement via a simple plug and play system which allows easy servicing.

The H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Tourbillon Concept is a limited edition of 20 pieces, priced at €. 65.800.
