Introducing The Pioneer Tourbillon Burgundy: H. Moser & Cie’s Elegant New Compact Edition
The H. Moser & Cie Pioneer Tourbillon Burgundy introduces a captivating new addition to the luxury watch landscape. Showcasing an alluring wine-colored dial and housed in a refined red gold case, this timepiece marks a significant evolution for the Swiss brand. For the first time, H. Moser & Cie offers a tourbillon in a compact 40mm case, reducing nearly 3mm from the previous 42.80mm Pioneer Tourbillon design—a move clearly reflecting the brand’s commitment to listening to its audience.
Crafted from 5N red gold, the 40mm case presents a harmonious blend of brushed finishes on the main surfaces and polished accents on the bezel, crown, and the sides of the hollow lugs. The design includes a domed sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown at the 3 o’clock position, and an open case back secured by four screws, all while delivering an impressive water resistance of up to 120 meters. The sleek and fluted profile ensures elegance without compromising durability.
The burgundy dial stands out with a sophisticated gradient effect that darkens near the edges, creating a mesmerizing visual depth. Gold faceted indexes and leaf-shaped hands filled with Super-LumiNova enhance readability while adding a touch of luxury. At the 6 o’clock position, a one-minute tourbillon with a double hairspring takes center stage. Subtle branding, achieved through H. Moser & Cie’s signature transparent lacquer, graces the top of the dial for a clean and sophisticated look.
Powering this remarkable timepiece is the Caliber HMC 805, a high-performance movement similar to the previous HMC 804. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers an impressive three-day power reserve. The movement features a skeletonized 18k gold rotor and exquisite decoration with Moser double stripes on the bridges, a hallmark of the brand’s meticulous craftsmanship.
Completing the sophisticated aesthetic is a khaki green rubber strap with a red gold clasp, providing a bold contrast and ensuring comfortable wear. Joining the permanent collection, the H. Moser & Cie Pioneer Tourbillon Burgundy is available now for CHF 59,900, offering a refined balance of innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
