Too Cool for School: We Couldn’t Look Away From H. Moser & Cie’s Watches and Wonders 2026 Novelties

The undeniability of H. Moser & Cie. is best reflected in the recent, rapid expansion of its standalone boutiques, from Silicon Valley and South India to Seoul and Singapore.

Since its 2012 acquisition by the Meylan family, the independent manufacture has evolved into one of contemporary watchmaking’s most compelling voices. At Watches and Wonders 2026, it reaffirmed that momentum with a confident slate of additions to its vaunted Streamliner and Endeavour collections.

These range from a playful homage to a cult Reebok sneaker to more refined propositions: downsized Streamliner models, a perennial favorite perpetual calendar rendered in tantalum, and a skeletonized minute repeater enriched with thoughtful technical enhancements.

Streamliner Pump

It’s difficult not to be charmed by the H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Pump—a mischievous collaboration between the maison and Reebok that melds a vaunted timepiece with a pop culture icon. Here, the act of winding is reimagined: instead of a conventional crown or rotor, the watch is “charged” via a Reebok Pump, lending a playful, tactile dimension to a refined timepiece.

Echoing the spirit of the unforgettable 1980s sneaker, the Streamliner Pump is activated by an anodized orange button, with its stored energy visibly tracked through a matching power reserve indicator.

To realize this whimsical system, Moser re-engineered its automatic HMC 500—best known for powering the Streamliner Small Seconds—into the newly developed HMC 103 manufacture caliber. Despite the added complexity, the movement remains a svelte 4.5mm thick, allowing the watch to retain an elegant overall profile of just 11.4mm.

The Streamliner Pump is offered in polished white forged quartz fiber or DLC-coated forged quartz fiber, each limited to 250 pieces. These 40mm cases are produced by compressing quartz fibers within custom molds, then infusing and curing resin across two cycles, resulting in distinctive moiré patterns that ensure no two examples are identical.

Beneath the surface, a protective titanium container shields the HMC 103 from shocks while contributing to a water resistance of 100m. Moser completes the watch with lacquered dials featuring anthracite grey or white Globolight® inserts, which emit a vivid green glow in low light, enhancing both legibility and the watch’s playful character.

The H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Pump is priced at US$39,900.

“We take watchmaking very seriously, but we cultivate our image as the ‘cool kid’ of haute horlogerie,” explains Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie.

“The Streamliner Pump illustrates this philosophy: a sophistication that smiles, a rigor that leaves room for insolence, and a mechanism that invites you to touch, press and feel. At a time when watchmaking is multiplying technical feats, this watch reminds us that innovation also means reintroducing play, surprise and breath.”

Streamliner Mini

Since its debut in 2020, the Streamliner has become one of Moser’s most coveted creations, thanks in no small part to its fluid, integrated case-and-bracelet design. Now, the manufacture distils that appeal into more compact proportions, introducing the Streamliner Mini in 34mm and 28mm case sizes.

Both models are rendered in steel, with the 34mm version paired with a silver fumé dial, while the 28mm reference opts for a rich burgundy fumé hue. With the meticulousness that is synonymous with Moser handcrafting, each dial is intricately frosted and engraved before being lacquered to achieve Moser’s signature gradient effect, imbuing the watches with a depth and texture that reward close inspection.

Powering the 34mm model is a hand-finished HMC 400 caliber composed of just 115 components and equipped with an 18k red gold rotor. The 28mm variant, meanwhile, houses the HMC 410, a similarly refined movement with 114 components, also wound via an 18k red gold rotor.

Despite their reduced dimensions, both watches deliver a robust 60-hour power reserve and are water-resistant to 120m. Each is priced at US$27,600.

Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Concept Tantalum

The same H. Moser & Cie. Perpetual Calendar that we praised in our review of modern perpetual calendars has been reimagined in tantalum.

In a rare instance, its dial has been crafted from the same material as its 42mm tantalum case, then brushed to achieve a delightful sunburst finish that has been emblematic of Moser for decades.

As the shimmer of the gradient dial plays with the light, it contrasts the polish of steel leaf-shaped hands that sweep across an uncluttered dial, which only has a central month hand, a date window at 3 o’clock, a second hand at 6 and a power reserve hand at 9.

Enabling this minimalist expression of time, the manually wound HMC 800 comprises an interchangeable Moser escapement, along with a gold pallet fork and escapement wheel.

The H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Concept Tantalum is limited to 50 pieces and priced at US$94,500.

Endeavour Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton

While admiring the engrossing Endeavour Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton, collectors will inevitably be reminded of the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton introduced in 2022. Though this novelty pays tribute to that earlier timepiece’s distinctive aesthetic, it charts its own course with meaningful technical and design evolutions.

Housed in a 40mm titanium case—downsized from the 42.8mm steel construction of its predecessor—the watch is powered by the new hand-wound HMC 909 caliber. Its signature domed blue fumé dial has been repositioned to 2 o’clock, while the brand’s logo is rendered in transparent lacquer, lending this subdial a greater sense of openness.

Executed in Moser’s characteristic geometry, the openworked architecture draws the eye inward, where the minute repeater’s hammers and gongs are deliberately brought dial-side, transforming a traditionally concealed complication into a visual spectacle. In service of acoustic performance, the case middle has been partially opened, allowing sound to resonate more freely through the sonorous titanium construction.

The “Cylindrical” designation refers to the use of a cylindrical hairspring—an important innovation in 18th-century marine chronometry that improves isochronism by reducing friction. This rare component is prominently displayed within the one-minute flying tourbillon, mounted on the extended balance staff.

The Endeavour Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton is priced at US$415,800.
