I’ve waxed poetic about Moser’s Pioneer earlier than. The watch is my (semi-)attainable grail on a regular basis watch due to its unsurpassed mixture of magnificence, sportiness, class, robustness, wearability and horological chops.
However on the finish of the day, the Pioneer remains to be a Moser, which suggests now and again, the Schaffhausen-based impartial model throws some wild complication onto the watch that takes it to a wholly new degree of desirability.
We’ve seen Pioneers with skeletonized cylindrical tourbillons, perpetual calendars and retrograde seconds shows — all waterproof to 120m and simply as succesful as the usual time-only variations, however much more spectacular.
Now, Moser has crafted what could possibly be its most spectacular model of the Pioneer but with a brand-new flying hours complication that’s virtually too cool to imagine.
Moser’s newest Pioneer is its craziest but.H. Moser & Cie.
I imagine I can fly
Moser has launched a flying hours complication earlier than. Again in 2018, the model launched the Endeavour Flying Hours. The costume watch featured three home windows surrounding a rotating minute disc, and the hours would progressively change from one to the subsequent, with one hour fading out as one other light in.
This model of the complication was just like the extra frequent “wandering” or “satellite tv for pc” hours issues seen on watches just like the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Starwheel and, like, half of Urwerk’s assortment. It’s a cool, revolutionary strategy to learn the time, however with a number of hours seen directly, it undoubtedly isn’t the best.
