H. Moser & Cie Brings April Fools Joke To Life With Three New Vantablack Watches With Blackened Fingers

Last 12 months, on April 1, 2019, H. Moser & Cie posted a picture of a vantablack watch that additionally had its fingers blacked out, leaving only a black house. Apparently, the model bought a lot curiosity they determined to truly make the April Fools day joke a actuality and launch three items. Thankfully, the fingers are simply blackened and never finished in vantablack, so the time can really be learn, a minimum of theoretically.

The in-person shopping for expertise is non-existent in the mean time, so Moser can also be utilizing these releases to tout its new e-commerce system, as properly. Seeing such a low-production/high-cost model like Moser embrace e-commerce is an encouraging signal.

These are very cool and really stark watches, and the blackened fingers are unexpectedly efficient in displaying simply how black vantablack actually is. It’s unattainable to inform when you’ll have the ability to learn the time as clearly as you’ll be able to from the press photos, however my feeling is that it gained’t be.

As for the watches, first is an Endeavour Tourbillon Idea that’s restricted to 50 items. Performed in a black DLC-finished metal case measuring 42mm-wide and 11.6mm-thick. This mannequin is a tackle an current model that was finished in white gold and (clearly) with out blackened fingers. Each the unique and this new restricted version have a black DLC-coated bridges on the one-minute tourbillon at 6 o’clock and there are not any visible modifications to the HMC 804 motion.

The opposite two are a 39mm white gold Venturer Idea and a metal 43mm Venturer XL Idea. Similar precept right here, with blackened fingers and vantablack dial.

However who the hell is shopping for a watch with a dial comprised of the blackest black in creation and blackened fingers? These are wearable artwork. I spent a while with Moser’s first Vantablack watch a few years in the past. and pictures don’t do justice to how stark and deep the black actually is. It’s like a black gap.

The H. Moser & Cie Venturer Idea (Ref. 2327-0222) in white gold is priced at $27,600, the Venturer XL Idea (Ref. 2327-1213) in metal is $26,600, and the Endeavour Tourbillon Idea (Ref. 1804-1206) and restricted to items is priced at $69,000. Once more, these are all coinciding with the launch of Moser’s social-distance-friendly e-commerce web page proper right here. You possibly can be taught extra at h-moser.com.
