Get ready to have your mind blown: H. Moser & Cie. is back with a bold new chapter in its Genesis saga, and it’s unlike anything you’ve seen before. But here’s where it gets controversial—while some hail it as a masterpiece of innovation, others might question whether it’s a step too far into the digital abyss. Let’s dive into the Streamliner Genesis 2, the sequel that’s sparking debates and pushing boundaries.
H. Moser & Cie. has never been one to play by the rules. From the start, this iconoclastic brand has challenged the watchmaking industry with its unconventional approach. Remember the Swiss Alp watch, which took a swipe at smartwatches? Or the Swiss Mad, with its cheeky Swiss cheese case? These weren’t just timepieces—they were statements. Fast forward to today, and Moser’s provocations have evolved into something more profound, exploring the intersection of traditional watchmaking and cutting-edge technology. And this is the part most people miss—Moser isn’t just making watches; it’s crafting a narrative about the future of luxury.
Following the polarizing Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis of 2022—a watch that blurred the lines between physical and digital with its 3D-printed, pixelated case—Moser now presents the Streamliner Genesis 2. If the first Genesis was a manifesto, this one is a tangible, wearable exploration of what happens when Web3, blockchain, and NFTs collide with haute horlogerie. But unlike its predecessor, which felt almost ethereal, the Streamliner Genesis 2 is grounded in physicality, blending Moser’s signature elements into a cohesive, thought-provoking whole.
At first glance, the watch feels familiar. The 40mm cushion-shaped steel case, the integrated bracelet, and the vertical brushed finishes are all hallmarks of the Streamliner family—Moser’s elegant take on the luxury sports watch. But then you notice the crown. Here’s the controversy—its raw, pixelated, 3D-printed titanium design is a direct nod to the first Genesis, and it’s bound to divide opinions. Is it genius or gimmick? You decide.
Flip the watch over, and you’re greeted by the in-house HMC 203 automatic calibre. With its partially skeletonized bridges, openworked 18k gold rotor, and anthracite finish, it’s a feast for the eyes. But it’s the dial that steals the show. Remember when Moser introduced Vantablack—the darkest material known to man—seven years ago? It’s back, and it’s more dramatic than ever. The dial is a void, a black hole that swallows light, with only the hour and minute hands—fitted with Globolight strips—floating above. No indices, no logo, just pure, unapologetic minimalism. But here’s the question—is this the ultimate expression of luxury, or has Moser gone too far in stripping away tradition?
Limited to just 100 pieces, the Streamliner Genesis 2 is as exclusive as it gets. Fifty are reserved for owners of the Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis 1, and the other fifty can be gifted to a friend. At CHF 29,900 (excl. tax), it’s not just a watch—it’s a ticket to the final act of Moser’s Genesis trilogy, which promises to be nothing short of revolutionary. The Genesis 3 is already on the horizon, and if this is any indication, it’s going to be epic.
So, what do you think? Is the Streamliner Genesis 2 a bold leap forward, or a step too far into the unknown? Let us know in the comments—we’re all ears. For more details, head over to H-Moser.com.
