Introducing H. Moser & Cie. Launches Its First Fully Ceramic Piece

Ceramic has decisively altered the course of modern watchmaking. What was once dismissed as too brittle for serious horology has evolved into one of the most technically compelling materials in the industry. Ceramic offers a combination that traditional metals struggle to match: exceptional scratch resistance, permanent colour stability, and low weight. More than an alternative to steel or gold, ceramic has become a material that speaks to longevity, precision, and a future-facing approach to watch design.

Its true proving ground arrived with the rise of the integrated sports watch. Unlike a standalone case, an integrated bracelet demands consistency of material, finish, and structural strength across dozens of articulated components. Executing an entire watch in ceramic, case and bracelet alike, leaves no room for approximation. Every surface must flow, every link must wear comfortably, and every transition must withstand daily use without compromise. When done well, ceramic integrated watches deliver a rare sense of visual continuity paired with surprising comfort.

This is the landscape into which H. Moser & Cie. introduces the Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic. It represents a new material chapter for the brand, but not a departure from its established design logic. Instead, ceramic is used to sharpen and refine the Streamliner’s already fluid architecture, reinforcing its presence rather than redefining it.

The cushion-shaped case measures 40 mm in diameter and is crafted entirely from anthracite grey ceramic. Its thickness stands at 11.0 mm without the sapphire crystal and increases to 12.8 mm with the crystal in place. The material allows the finishes to speak clearly, with circular satin brushing across the case surfaces, subtle polishing along the edges, and vertical satin finishing carried seamlessly through the integrated bracelet. The watch features a transparent caseback and water resistance rated at 120 metres.

The deep red fumé dial is executed in Grand Feu enamel, applied over a textured white gold base to create depth. The result is a dial that appears alive, shifting subtly with the light while maintaining an intense chromatic presence. The colour is a rich, luminous red, free from logos or printed markings. The hour and minute hands are fitted with Globolight inserts to ensure legibility. There are no indices. Functionally, the layout is reduced to its essentials, with hours and minutes joined by a one-minute flying tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock.

Powering the watch is the HMC 805 calibre, an automatic movement developed in-house. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and delivers a minimum power reserve of three days. The movement features Moser’s double hairspring, designed to improve isochronism and long-term stability. It is finished in anthracite tones, with partially skeletonised bridges, Moser’s signature double stripes, and an openworked rotor in 18K red gold.

The watch is fitted with an integrated bracelet, also crafted in anthracite grey ceramic, and secured by a three-blade folding clasp engraved with the Moser logo. It joins the collection as part of the permanent lineup and is priced at CHF 96,200, approximately AED 458,000.
