In a world saturated with over‑complicated timepieces, H. Moser & Cie. has gone the opposite direction. The brand’s Endeavour Tourbillon Skeleton is a study in subtraction: a 40mm case of 5N red gold with virtually everything removed that isn’t needed to keep time.
What remains is a skeletonized movement built around the HMC 814 calibre, a one‑minute flying tourbillon with a double hairspring to counteract gravity and improve chronometry. Anthracite‑coated bridges and skeletonised plates provide a dark backdrop that contrasts with the glow of the gold case.
The watch measures just 10.7mm thick, yet its open architecture provides a three‑dimensional view of the gears and the tourbillon as they dance. Moser has paired the case with a hand‑stitched alligator nubuck strap, adding tactile luxury without drawing attention away from the movement. The result is both minimalist and dramatic—a timekeeping sculpture that prioritizes mechanics over ornamentation. At just under $100,000, it’s priced squarely for collectors who appreciate independence and innovation.
