Swiss luxury watchmaker H. Moser & Cie. join forces with the young U.K. brand Studio Underd0g to create two ‘"passion fruit" watches - the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit (Ref. 1800-1200) by H. Moser & Cie. and the 03SERIES Passion Fruit (Ref. 03PFB) by Studio Underd0g, which is a mono-pusher chronograph. Each watch is limited to 100 pieces, and the duo will only be available together in a set.
While the aesthetics of both the novelties revolves around same vibrant theme, the dial of the 42mm Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit entails a hammered textured dial with fusion of purple lacquered sunburst pattern and Maracuja ‘Grand Feu’ enamel on an 18K yellow gold base. Further, its dial has a date window, small seconds, and a power reserve indicator at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock respectively. The dial of the 38.5mm 03 SERIES Passion Fruit is coarse dégradé amber and royal purple radial brushed multi-layer dial. There is a 30 minute counter at 3 o’clock and small seconds at 9 o’clock.
Though the dials of the watches are kept devoid of the logos to offer minimalism, their crown features respective brand logos. Additionally, a touch of green on the hands is there to symbolise the seed colour of the passion fruit.
"Our collaboration is fuelled by a shared passion — a passion for crafting timepieces that are not just functional, but truly artistic," says Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie. "Together with Studio Underd0g, we've embarked on a journey to celebrate the beauty and joy of horology, creating a fun and an unforgettable experience for collectors,"he adds.
Casebacks are transparent in both the watches, however, boasting the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit, is a hand-wound HMC 800 manufacture calibre with seven days of power reserve. One can also see a Leap year cycle indicator on the movement side. A black alligator leather strap flanks its case. The back view of the 03SERIES Passion Fruit reveals hand-wound Sellita SW510 M, boasting a power reserve of about 63 hours. And a hand-stitched black epsom calfskin leather by The Strap Tailor completes the timepiece.
"We are thrilled to work with H. Moser & Cie. on this milestone collaboration," says Richard Benc, founder and CEO of Studio Underd0g. "By leaning into our shared values, we have been able to create something truly exceptional.”
The set of watches is available at Rs. 58,25,000 (approx.)
