What to know

H. Moser & Cie. has brought its animated 30-second retrograde display to the Streamliner. The seconds hand travels across an open arc at six o’clock and snaps back twice each minute, adding a kinetic counterpoint to the restrained Midnight Blue fumé dial. The 40mm stainless-steel case flows directly into the collection’s integrated steel bracelet and is water-resistant to 12 ATM.

The automatic HMC 252 calibre evolves from the HMC 250 and uses a tungsten rotor, with Agenhor supplying the retrograde mechanism. Its dial-side rack is deliberately visible, turning the reset action into part of the design. Moser states a 72-hour power reserve and lists Ref. 6252-1200 at CHF 29,900 excluding VAT.
