H. Moser & Cie. And Azuki Unite For The Elements Of Time Series

MRSTATELESS H. MOSER, NEW RELEASES 2025, Azuki, Guilloche, Limited Edition, Titanium, Tourbillon 0

The new Elements of Time collection marks an unexpected collaboration between Azuki, a web3-native brand known for anime-inspired storytelling, and H. Moser & Cie., one of Switzerland’s most independent and innovative watchmakers. The result is a series of eight timepieces that merge digital-era creativity with centuries of horological expertise.

A Collection Inspired by the Elements

The collection takes its design cues from Azuki’s Elementals NFT series, which explores the four elemental domains of Fire, Earth, Water, and Lightning. Each domain is represented by two models—one Pioneer Tourbillon and one Pioneer Centre Seconds—bringing the total to eight watches.

Titanium Case and Sport-Luxury DNA

Each watch is crafted in titanium, with a case measuring 40 mm in diameter and 11.40 mm in thickness. The design incorporates a curved sapphire crystal, a unidirectional rotating bezel, and a screw-in crown engraved with the H. Moser “M.” Fluted hollow profiles enhance the dynamic character of the case, while the open sapphire caseback reveals the movement within. True to the Pioneer’s robust identity, the case also provides water resistance up to 120 meters.

Distinctive Dial Craftsmanship

The dials are where the collection truly expresses its elemental inspiration. Each one features a bespoke guilloché engraving with a smoked effect, designed to capture the visual essence of the element it represents. Fire is depicted through swirling flame-like motifs, Earth through tectonic-inspired textures, Water through wave-like ripples, and Lightning through sharp, jagged pulses. Applied Globolight indexes and Super-LumiNova-coated hands ensure clarity and legibility, with three central hands on the Pioneer Centre Seconds models and two hands on the Tourbillon versions.

Two Interpretations per Element

The Pioneer Tourbillon models are distinguished by a flying tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock, seamlessly integrated into the elemental dial motif. They are powered by the in-house automatic Caliber HMC 804, which beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour and provides a power reserve of at least 72 hours. The Pioneer Centre Seconds models, on the other hand, present a cleaner three-hand execution that emphasizes the guilloché textures. These are driven by the automatic Caliber HMC 200, also operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offering the same 72-hour power reserve. Both movements are decorated to haute horlogerie standards and are visible through the sapphire caseback.

Bracelet and Wearability

Each of the eight models is paired with a titanium bracelet fitted with a folding clasp, combining strength, comfort, and refinement in line with the collection’s sport-luxury spirit.

Exclusivity and Pricing

Exclusivity plays a defining role in the Elements of Time series. Each Pioneer Centre Seconds model is limited to 24 pieces per element, while the Pioneer Tourbillon versions are even rarer, with only one piece produced for each elemental theme. Pricing is set at USD 25,000 for the Pioneer Centre Seconds and USD 75,000 for the Pioneer Tourbillon.
