This year H.Moser & Cie. already surprised the devoted Moser-lovers with many novelties, including a fun Easter release. In this article we are focusing on the popular Endeavour line.
Endeavour Concept novelties
It has been already a decade since H. Moser & Cie. released their minimalist Endeavour line. The collection includes the Concept pieces (which were the firsts to intentionally omit branding and indices on the dial), complications like Chinese calendar or perpetual calendar and limited edition collaborations, with Studio Underd0g or Massena LAB, for example.
Two novelties joined my favourite Endeavour Concept collection. The first is the Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Turquoise Enamel, a 40mm 5N red gold timepiece with an astonishing Grand Feu enamel turquoise dial. On this piece the white gold dial base is engraved with a hammered pattern before being covered with several layers of translucent enamel. The turquoise dial frames the details of the tourbillon at 6 o’clock.
The HMC 805 automatic calibre replaces its predecessor, the HMC 804. The movement has partially skeletonised bridges and a sleek anthracite grey finish revealing the gear train and bi-directional winding wheels, while a beveled rotor ensures an unobstructed view.
The Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept Purple Enamel is even more minimalist. Regardless of trends, Moser is certainly a watch brand who keeps ‘quiet luxury’ alive. All you have with these timepieces is serious content, outstanding proportions and beautiful finishing on high-grade materials. No numerals, no logo, no heavy decorations. A whispering message from connoisseur to connoisseur. The new timepiece comes in 40mm steel case and powered by the HMC 201, equipped with a double hairspring.
The Purple Haze dial, forged from layers of finely crushed enamel on a white gold base, showcases H.Moser’s contemporary take on Grand Feu craftsmanship. Purple is one of the most difficult color to perfect with enamel – especially achieve a bright and vibrant shade. Together with the hammered texture the dial creates a captivating play of light.
Endeavour Pop collection
The new Pop collection continues the generous purist approach – no logo, no indexes or numerals. Each dial in the line showcases carefully selected, sparkling gemstones—Burmese jade, turquoise, coral, pink opal, lapis lazuli, and lemon chrysoprase—sourced from renowned locations for their unparalleled vibrancy and purity. The collection features 18 variations, inspired by 6 gemstones. Each stone is reimagined in 3 watch complications: a Small Seconds model, a Tourbillon version, and an exceptional Minute Repeater Tourbillon—an exclusive masterpiece in 5N red gold.
The dial of the Endeavour Small Seconds Concept Pop is cut from top-tier Burmese jade, a gemstone renowned for its rarity and deep, translucent green. The Burmese jade – often referred to as ‘jadeite jade’ from Myanmar (Burma). As top-quality jadeite is rare, it is considered the most valuable and sought-after jade in the world. On this 28-piece limited edition timepiece the small seconds sundial at 6 o’clock – made from Peruvian pink opal – adds a refined contrast.
Lemon Chrysoprase is a nickel stained, silicified magnesite, commonly found in association with Chrysoprase. Its yellow-green to lemon-yellow colour comes from the traces of nickel. It is found in Western Australia, where it’s found in nickel mining areas, for example in the Goldfields region around Kalgoorlie. The Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Pop in lemon chrysoprase combines this vivid stone with the celestial depth of lapis lazuli, as a circle motif in lapis lazuli is connected with the tourbillon. It comes in a limited edition of 8 pieces.
An other Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Pop fuses deep orange coral from the Pacific Ocean with a turquoise ring on the dial. Due to the rarity of these quality stones the prices of the novelties vary – depending on the stone featured. Check out all the models here.
