H. Moser & Cie. and Alpine Motorsports join forces once again to present the third chapter of their technical partnership: the new Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Ceramic Alpine Limited Edition. For this occasion, the independent manufacture based in Neuhausen am Rheinfall places material research at the heart of the design, outfitting its iconic integrated case in a anthracite grey ceramic finish that contrasts strikingly with the blue bridges and mainplate of the Alpine racing team. A limited edition of just 100 pieces that combines the weightlessness of openworked mechanics with the unyielding durability of cutting-edge ceramic.
Anthracite Ceramic and Skeletonized Fluidity
Since its inception, the Streamliner collection has explored fluid lines and organic aesthetics free of harsh edges or interruptions. The incorporation of anthracite grey ceramic —used for only the second time in Moser’s history— delivers extreme scratch resistance, lightness, hypoallergenic properties, and lasting durability that will never develop patina or oxidation. The 40 mm case alternates polished and satin-brushed surfaces, creating a sophisticated play of light that highlights the depth of the material from every angle.
The timepiece is completed with an integrated blue Alcantara strap that brings a distinctly sporty character, equipped with a black DLC-treated titanium pin buckle engraved with the Moser logo. For nighttime legibility, the floating indices and three-dimensional hand inserts are crafted in Globolight, an innovative composite material combining a ceramic base loaded with Super-LumiNova.
🏎️ Alpine Motorsports Collaboration
Track Engineering Meets Fine Watchmaking
Designed in harmony with the rigorous requirements of the BWT Alpine Formula One Team, this model answers the pursuit of maximum lightness and visual transparency. In motorsport as in haute horlogerie, performance relies not only on architecture or mechanics, but also on how materials behave under extreme conditions to combine minimal weight with absolute precision.
Calibre HMC 814: Exposed Architecture and Double Hairspring
In keeping with the minimalist philosophy of stripping away non-essentials to reveal pure essence, the open dial completely exposes the architecture of the manufacture Calibre HMC 814. This 167-component automatic movement features an openworked barrel along with diamond-beveled bridges and mainplate finished in Alpine blue. Its bidirectional pawl winding system drives a fully skeletonized oscillating weight, guaranteeing a minimum power reserve of 72 hours (3 days).
At 6 o’clock, the one-minute flying tourbillon appears to float weightlessly in mid-air. Developed and manufactured in-house by Precision Engineering AG (Moser’s sister company), it features an original double hairspring that naturally counteracts center-of-gravity shifts as the mainspring expands, significantly enhancing accuracy and isochronism.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Crafted from ultra-durable, lightweight, and scratch-resistant anthracite grey ceramic within the iconic 40 mm Streamliner case design.
- Manufacture Calibre HMC 814 skeleton movement featuring a flying tourbillon and double hairspring system for optimal precision.
- Striking visual contrast between the anthracite ceramic case, Alpine blue movement bridges, and three-dimensional Globolight elements.
Cons:
- Strictly limited edition of only 100 numbered pieces worldwide.
- The refined texture of the Alcantara strap requires extra care around liquids compared to a full ceramic bracelet.
