H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour 1804-1206

H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Tourbillon Vantablack 1804-1206

Perhaps one of the most widely-revered names within the arena of independent watchmaking, H. Moser & Cie have come leaps and bounds since 2005 when they were taken over by the Meylan family. Since then they have built upon a minimalist aesthetic that resonates with collectors looking for something a little unique, much like this Endeavor Tourbillon Vanta Black that we have here. In keeping with Moser’s famously understated design language, the Endeavor Tourbillon Vantablack utilizes an unbranded dial and a beautifully finished movement and carefully crafted steel case with a black DLC-finish to execute the brand’s vision for the timepiece. Famed for their impeccable dials and creating the current trend we have seen explode in the last few years with regards to fume dials, Moser’s dials are revered, and for good reason. However, expanding out from their typical designs, the Endeavor Tourbillon Vantablack was launched in 2020 as a limited edition collection of just 50 pieces. Made using the blackest pigment possible, the Endeavour Tourbillon’s Vantablack’s dial absorbs 99.965% of light, drawing attention to Moser’s distinct ability to create timepieces that are unmistakably theirs, even if their dials lack branding and inscriptions, or any other defining features other than their unique adherence to the idea within watchmaking that less is more. Powered by the automatic cal. HMC 804, this 42mm beauty has everything that has earned Moser their place within watchmaking and more. Brand : H.

THE CONSTRUCTION Matching its Vantablack dial, the ref. 1804-1206's 42mm stainless steel construction has been given a black DLC-finish, so that the entire watch from its dial to its case features an entirely blacked-out aesthetic.
