Perhaps one of the most widely-revered names within the arena of independent watchmaking, H. Moser & Cie have come leaps and bounds since 2005 when they were taken over by the Meylan family. Since then they have built upon a minimalist aesthetic that resonates with collectors looking for something a little unique, much like this Endeavor Tourbillon Concept Tiger's Eye that we have here. In keeping with Moser’s famously understated design language, the Endeavor Tourbillon Concept Tiger's Eye utilizes an unbranded dial and a beautifully finished movement and carefully crafted 18kt rose gold case to execute the brand’s vision for the timepiece. Famed for their impeccable dials and creating the current trend we have seen explode in the last few years with regards to fume dials, Moser’s dials are revered, and for good reason. However, expanding out from their typical designs, the Endeavor Tourbillon Concept Tiger's Eye was launched as a limited edition collection of 100 pieces split across two variants of 50 pieces that each feature a distinct version of tiger’s eye, a semi-precious stone made of amosite with beautiful bands of silica that run across its surface and make for exquisite watch dials. Offered with either a blue stone Moser call “Falcon's Eye” or a red stone that Moser call “Ox’s eye,” which is what this example has, the collection draws attention to Moser’s ability to create timepieces that are unmistakably theirs, even if they lack branding or inscriptions. Powered by the automatic cal. HMC 804, this 40mm beauty has everything that has earned Moser their place within watchmaking and more.

An impeccably constructed watch, Moser have once again showcased their design strengths by creating a timepiece that lets its craftsmanship, aesthetic and overarching theme of luxury do its talking rather than a brand name on the dial.
