A new arrival again – and yes, I am completely innocent…

It looks like I didn’t keep my promise after all.
But honestly – I am completely innocent! 😇

If we put aside the recent PuristSPro 25th Anniversary model, I really haven’t ordered or bought anything since the Panerai Mike Horn. (And believe me, some Octo Finissimo pieces have tempted me quite a bit in the meantime…)

The truth is, this one was decided a few months ago – I gave my word to Eduard Meylan months back. I was shown an unofficial prototype of this beauty and I was immediately blown away and … convinced.







And a handshake is a handshake…



So here we are: my next watch is already on the way to Vienna.

And to avoid any confusion: I am not talking about the ultra-exclusive ruby-set piece limited to 10 examples, but rather the version that truly spoke to me – the Streamliner Tourbillon “Pierre Gasly” on a chocolate-brown rubber strap, limited to 100 pieces worldwide.

This model manages to balance refined craftsmanship with real-world wearability. The chocolate fumé dial with sunburst gradient tones, the warm red gold case, and the perfectly matched rubber strap give it a unique character. And despite the flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock and the technical finesse inside, the watch remains absolutely practical – with a power reserve of 72 hours and a water resistance of 12 ATM.

Key specifications:
• Model: H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Tourbillon “Pierre Gasly”
• Limited Edition: 100 pieces
• Case: 40 mm, 5N red gold, Streamliner design
• Dial: Chocolate fumé with sunray finish, transparent logo
• Movement: Automatic Caliber HMC 804 with one-minute flying tourbillon and double hairspring
• Power Reserve: 72 hours
• Bracelet: Integrated chocolate-brown rubber strap
• Water resistance: 12 ATM

For me, this piece is a perfect example of what makes Moser so compelling: purity, technical excellence, just the right amount of boldness and practicality/wearability.

So yes – despite my very best intentions to “downsize” in 2025, my collection is about to welcome another very exciting member. And I’m already looking forward to sharing live shots with you once it lands in Vienna.

All the best
Thomas
