Description

The Streamliner Tourbillon 6804-1201, a testament to H. Moser & Cie.’s exceptional watchmaking prowess, has been created to mesmerize with its dazzling array of sapphire gemstones. These gemstones have been invisibly set into the bezel, with each sapphire exhibiting a distinct color, thus presenting a full spectrum of tones encircling the dial. This meticulous gem-setting craft enhances the visual brilliance of the piece.

Featuring a flying tourbillon, the watch showcases this complication rotating gracefully above the fumé dial, which is adorned with a sunburst pattern. This design detail not only adds to the watch’s aesthetic appeal but also underscores the technical sophistication inherent in the Streamliner Tourbillon Rainbow.

With a diameter of 40.0 mm, the Streamliner Tourbillon 6804-1201 is engineered for both visual impact and comfort on the wrist. It is powered by the HMC 804, an automatic tourbillon movement designed to counteract the effects of gravity through a one-minute flying tourbillon and a patented double hairspring. This innovative mechanism allows two identical hairsprings to compensate for any positional errors, ensuring precision in timekeeping.

The watch’s robustness is further highlighted by its water resistance, rated at 12 ATM, and its impressive power reserve of 72 hours, making it both a practical and luxurious timepiece.

The functions of the tourbillon are conceived to maintain timekeeping precision by constantly rotating the regulating organ and escapement around a central axis. This continuous motion eliminates any positional errors, demonstrating the watch’s technical excellence.

Extremely meticulous polishing and satin-finishing work on adjacent surfaces have been required to achieve the high-end finishes synonymous with the Streamliner collection. The flawless transitions between different types of finishes exemplify the exacting standards and craftsmanship that define this remarkable timepiece.

H. Moser & Cie – bio

H. Moser & Cie was founded by independent watchmaker Heinrich Moser in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1828. Notable early clients of H. Moser & Cie included Russian princes and members of the Russian Imperial Court; Vladimir Lenin also owned a Moser watch. After Moser died in 1874, the company was sold, and its business in Russia was expropriated in 1918 due to the October Revolution.

In 1953, H. Moser & Cie continued its business in Le Locle, Switzerland where it shifted its focus from pocket watches to wristwatches. Due to the quartz crisis, H. Moser & Cie became a part of the Dixi Mechanique Group and the original brand name was dropped. In 2002, Moser Schaffhausen AG was founded by Dr. Jürgen Lange together with Heinrich Moser’s great-grandson Roger Nicholas Balsiger, and the brand H. Moser & Cie was formally re-launched in 2005.
