2_ H. MOSER & CIE Pioneer Centre Seconds Automatic

H. Moser isn’t just known for making million-dollar watches out of Swiss cheese (as famously seen at this year’s SIHH) – the watchmaker also knows how to create classic, no-fuss timepieces that are simply brilliant in their quality and execution. The Pioneer Centre Seconds Automatic features a deep midnight-blue fumé dial, faceted indices and partially skeletonised hands. At the heart of the watch beats the proprietary HMC 200 movement.

The platinum model of this watch was released last year – and it has now been followed by a second version in pink gold, in a limited edition of 100 watches. The Richard Lange Jumping Seconds puts the seconds measurement in the spotlight, where a blued seconds hand advances along the largest circle in 60 steps per minute. A constant-force escapement was developed to deliver the switching impulse for the seconds jump; it also powers the watch for 42 hours.
