The Pop collection represents a significant shift for the Schaffhausen-based manufacturer, which has built its reputation on understated elegance and fumé dials. While the brand has previously experimented with bold colors, it has typically maintained a monochromatic approach. This new collection breaks that tradition with unexpected combinations of vibrant hues and materials.
Launched at Watches and Wonders 2025, the new Pop line by H. Moser & Cie. features an explosion of colours using precious gemstones. Each gemstone carries symbolic significance: Jade embodies wisdom and harmony, lapis lazuli is associated with intuition and creativity, turquoise symbolizes vitality and protection, coral evokes passion, lemon chrysoprase promotes self-confidence, and pink opal inspires gentleness and love. The careful selection of these stones for their colour intensity and exceptional clarity further enhances their impact on the dial.
Endeavour Small Seconds Concept Pop
The Endeavour Small Seconds Concept Pop combines functionality with artistic expression. Housed in a 38mm steel case, this model features a bi-material dial crafted from natural gemstones. The collection offers six distinct references with various gemstone combinations.
References 1202-1200 and 1202-1206 feature a striking combination of turquoise and coral on the dial.
References 1202-1203 and 1202-1205 showcase the serene pairing of Burmese jade and pink opal.
References 1202-1202 and 1202-1204 present the contrasting duo of lapis lazuli and lemon chrysoprase.
Each piece is fitted with a hand-stitched grey ostrich leather strap secured by a steel pin buckle engraved with the Moser logo.
Powering these timepieces is the HMC 202 automatic calibre. This movement operates at 21,600 vph and contains 27 jewels. Its automatic bi-directional pawl winding system is complemented by an oscillating weight in solid 18-carat gold. The movement offers a minimum 3-day power reserve and features hacking seconds functionality. The original Straumann® hairspring ensures accurate timekeeping, while the anthracite finish with Moser double stripes and partially skeletonized bridges showcases the brand's commitment to fine finishing.
True to H. Moser's minimalist philosophy, the dial bears no logos or indexes, allowing the natural beauty of the gemstones to take center tage. The leaf-shaped hour and minute hands provide an elegant contrast to the vibrant dial, with the small seconds displayed in an offset subdial at 6 o'clock. Each variant is limited to 28 pieces.
Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Pop
The Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Pop elevates the collection with the addition of a one-minute flying tourbillon. With a slightly larger 40mm steel case, this model maintains the same gemstone combinations as the Small Seconds version but incorporates more advanced mechanics.
Six references are available:
1805-1201 and 1805-1207 featuring turquoise and coral dials
1805-1206 and 1805-1204 with Burmese jade and pink opal dials
1805-1203 and 1805-1205 showcasing lapis lazuli and lemon chrysoprase dials.
Each comes on a grey ostrich leather strap with a steel folding clasp engraved with the Moser logo.
The HMC 805 automatic calibre powers these sophisticated timepieces. Like the HMC 202, it operates at 21,600 vph. This movement features a skeletonized oscillating weight in 18-carat red gold with the engraved H. Moser & Cie. logo. The original double hairspring enhances precision, while the one-minute flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock adds both technical sophistication and visual drama. The movement decoration includes an anthracite finish with Moser double stripes and partially skeletonized bridges, revealing the meticulous craftsmanship beneath.
Limited to just 8 pieces per color variant, the Tourbillon edition represents a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire a piece that balances technical excellence with artistic expression.
Endeavour Minute Repeater Tourbillon Concept Pop
The pinnacle of the collection is the Endeavour Minute Repeater Tourbillon Concept Pop. This exceptional timepiece combines two prestigious complications – a minute repeater and a tourbillon – in a 40mm case crafted from 5N red gold. Each piece is completely unique, with only one watch produced per design.
Six different references make up this exclusive collection:
Reference 1904-0407 features a pink opal and lacquered dial
Reference 1904-0409 combines Burmese jade with lacquer
Reference 1904-0406 pairs lemon chrysoprase with lacquer
Reference 1904-0408 showcases lapis lazuli with lacquer
Reference 1904-0403 features coral with lacquer
Reference 1904-0405 combines turquoise with lacquer.
Each timepiece comes on a grey alligator leather strap with a red gold folding clasp engraved with the Moser logo.
Powering these masterpieces is the hand-wound HMC 904 calibre, a partially skeletonized movement measuring 33.0mm with a height of 9.62mm. Operating at 21,600 vph and containing 35 jewels, this sophisticated calibre offers an impressive 90-hour power reserve. The movement features Moser double stripes on the main plate and bridges, with hand-finished and decorated components throughout. A one-minute flying tourbillon with skeletonized bridge is positioned at 6 o'clock, while the minute repeater mechanism chimes the hours, quarters, and minutes upon demand, with hammers and chimes visible on the dial side.
These unique pieces represent the zenith of H. Moser & Cie.'s technical prowess and artistic vision, offering a rare convergence of high complications and aesthetic daring.
Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept Purple Enamel
H. Moser & Cie. introduces a new iteration to its popular Endeavour collection. Continuing the theme of playing with colours, the brand has released a new Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept Purple Enamel. The watch is encased in 40mm stainless steel and features a dial with a fume effect and an ancestral “Grand Feu” enamel technique. The process of enamelling is done on a textured white gold base with a hammered effect, on which six different enamel pigments are washed and finely crushed. The master enameller then proceeded with multiple firings to create the perfect shade of purple called Purple Haze.
Further, the dial features leaf shaped hands and a purple central seconds hands. Powering the watch is the automatic Calibre HMC 201, which has already appeared in the line before. The movement has a power reserve of about 72 hours. A hand-stitched purple kudu leather strap with steel pin buckle flanks the case.
