A few weeks before the start of Watches and Wonders, the ultra-dynamic CEO of H. Moser & Cie. predicted a vibrant 2025, with color-popping dials available in a wide spectrum of hues ranging from lightest to most intense. He has kept his word. After treating the Pioneer Cen-tre Seconds to a Citrus Green dial in 2024, the independent brand from Neuhausen am Rheinfall has dressed its sportiest watch in a sunburst Yellow fumé dial, displaying a luminous gradient from the lightest shade in the center to the darkest around the rim.
True to the watchword of offering its "own and unique take on Haute Hor-logerie", H. Moser & Cie. has signed the piece with a very discreet transparent lacquer logo. Insiders will doubtless recognize it at first glance, both from the front and through the open caseback revealing the HMC Manufacture 201 movement adorned with anthracite finishes featuring the Moser double stripes and swept over by an engraved, openworked oscillating weight.
