Introducing A Unique Collaboration Between H. Moser & Cie. and Studio Underd0g: The Passion Fruit Watches

In today's world of horology, collaborations are more common than ever, with brands teaming up with creative minds to breathe new life into their designs. These partnerships showcase how global creativity can come together to produce something extraordinary. However, seeing two watchmakers collaborate is still pretty rare, which makes it all the more exciting when it happens.

At Geneva Watch Days 2024, two brands, H. Moser & Cie. and Studio Underd0g, are doing just that. They’ve teamed up to create something truly special: the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit by H. Moser & Cie. and the 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit by Studio Underd0g, both inspired by the passion fruit as you can tell by the name and aesthetics. This collaboration blends their unique styles and brings a fresh, new twist to us.

Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit

The Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit comes in a 42 mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 12.8 mm. It is equipped with a curved sapphire crystal on the front, ensuring durability and clarity. The steel case-back also includes a curved sapphire crystal, providing a glimpse into the movement within.

The main dial has a vibrant purple lacquered finish with a sunburst pattern that catches the light beautifully. The center dial has a Maracuja fumé Grand Feu enamel finish with a hammered texture, and is crafted from 18k yellow gold. The dial is adorned with leaf-shaped hands, an arrow-shaped center hand with a green varnish touch to indicate the months, and a large date window at the 3 o'clock position. The small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock features a snailed pattern, while a power reserve indicator is located at 9 o'clock.

Powered by the hand-wound HMC 800 Manufacture calibre, this watch operates at a frequency of 18,000 vph (2.5 Hz), and offers 7 days of power reserve thanks to its double barrel. The leap year cycle indicator on the movement side showcases vibrant purple and Maracuja colors, with a green accent. The watch comes with a black alligator leather strap and a steel folding clasp.

Studio Underd0g 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit

The second watch in this collaboration is the Studio Underd0g 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit. It comes in a stainless steel case with a diameter of 38.5mm and a thickness of 13.6mm. The watch is equipped with sapphire crystals on both sides, including a double-domed front and a flat exhibition back. It also boasts a signed stainless steel crown and a mono-pusher chronograph located at the 2 o'clock position.

The dial stands out with a striking coarse dégradé amber center and a royal purple radial brushed finish around it, complete with a tachymeter scale. The dial also features pencil shaped hands to add a classic touch, while the chronograph seconds and minute hands feature green-tipped accents for an extra pop of color. The dial layout includes a 60-second small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, creating a balanced and visually appealing design.

The watch is powered by the hand-wound Sellita SW510 M movement, which operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and a power reserve of 63 hours. The movement features a cam-operated mono-pusher chronograph mechanism. The timepiece comes with a hand-stitched black epsom calfskin leather strap, secured with a stainless steel buckle pin. Both watches are sold as a set, with a limited release of only 100 pieces. The price is CHF 59,000, which is equivalent to AED 255,500.
