The striking new Pop designs come in 6 colourways – featuring materials such as Burmese jade, lapis lazuli and lemon chrysoprase – in small-seconds, tourbillon and minute repeater models

Few brands experiment with statement-based watch design quite like H. Moser & Cie, who went above and beyond to embody its slogan “very rare” at this year’s Watches and Wonders fair in Geneva.

The brand’s centrepiece release was its Pop collection, an offshoot of the Endeavour line, using the same chassis to produce 18 watches with a striking mix of coloured dials: each pair of colours offered as either a small seconds, tourbillon or minute repeater model.

Bold colours are nothing new for the watchmaker, its catalogue filled with vivid greens, blues, reds, purples and other shades in a variety of finishes. What makes the Pop collection “very rare” is the technique H. Moser & Cie employed to achieve such stunning dials. Rather than paint the designs and finish them in enamel or some other texture, the watchmaker meticulously cut the dials out of semi-precious stones such as Burmese jade, turquoise, coral, pink opal, lapis lazuli and lemon chrysoprase.

Naturally, given that these stones are delicate and challenging to machine, the Endeavour Small Seconds Concept Pop is limited to 28 pieces per colourway, the Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Pop to a mere eight pieces each, and the Endeavour Minute Repeater Tourbillon Concept Pop to just one in each colourway.

In the case of the Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Pop there’s a ring of the “secondary” colour and stone, with the tourbillon at six o’clock; while the Endeavour Minute Repeater Tourbillon Concept Pop – with a 5N red gold case – shows one colour on the main dial, with the secondary dial colour raised up and surrounded by the minute repeater gongs, adding some visual depth to the piece.

The Endeavour Small Seconds measures 38mm, while the tourbillon and minute repeater models measure 40mm. Respectively, they house the HMC 202 calibre, the HMC 805 with a flying tourbillon and the HMC 904 hand-wound, partially skeletonised with minute repeater chimers at 10 and 11 o’clock.

For those who enjoy H. Moser & Cie’s other collections, this may seem like a lot of Endeavour. However, two new references were also added to the Streamliner collection, both with coloured dials.
