1. H. Moser & Cie
Since acquiring independent watchmaker H. Moser & Cie in 2012, chief executive officer Edouard Meylan has continuously pushed boundaries, and recently came to Asia to unveil the prototype of the brand’s latest and arguably most daring creation to date: the Streamliner Flyback Chronograph Automatic. H. Moser is, of course, known for producing strikingly modern timepieces, but this new wristwatch stands apart from the rest. Its slate-grey gradient dial that transitions from sooty-black to silver is nothing short of mesmerising, and a single-link metal bracelet adds to its distinctive finish.
“More like a wearable sculpture than a simple steel watch, we sought to create a new form with unprecedented lines and finishes for the Streamliner,” says Meylan. “The result is cushion-shaped case with a slightly domed surface and recessed sides, in perfect harmony with the contours of the integrated and uniquely designed steel bracelet.” All aboard!
