Not-So-Stealth Luxury: Deluxe New Drops From H. Moser x Cie. & Richard Mille
When it comes to the world of watches, there's luxurious, and then there's downright divine.
From low-key releases for a select few, to spotlight-stealing crown jewels – you'll find that the extravagant watches highlighted here aren't just accessories, but otherworldly creations meant to take your outfit to the next level.
H. Moser & Cie.'s Streamliner Skeleton Rainbow
H. Moser & Cie. are back to unleash another colourful creation that's sure to make even a rainbow blush.
Introducing the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Rainbow!
Precious stones are not typically used by Moser in their watches. This new model, however, shows a conscious decision to highlight the movement's beauty, balance, and even overall minimalism through the use of brilliance.
As a result, the watch successfully combines watchmaking skills with jewellery artistry.
Featuring steel or 5N red gold, this timepiece has 60 vividly-coloured baguette-cut sapphires. The stones are subtly positioned in the centre of the case in a dual gradient; one gradient mimics the rainbow's colours, while the other highlights the Streamliner 40mm cushion-shaped case.
The fully-skeletonised HMC 814 movement, which is fully visible through the watch's face, is also aesthetically enhanced by the gemstones.
The Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Rainbow is available for enquiries now. You can also reserve a unit for yourself for CHF159,000 (~RM814,703) at H. Moser & Cie.'s official website.
Richard Mille's RM72-01 'Charles Leclerc' Edition
Charles Leclerc, a Ferrari F1 driver and long-time brand ambassador, helped Richard Mille discreetly unveil their newest limited-edition watch.
Inspired by the Monégasque driver's signature colours and racing heritage, the brand's automatic flyback chronograph has been boldly reinterpreted in the new RM72-01 'Charles Leclerc.'
Honouring the Monegasque flag, the watch is finished in white Quartz TPT with eye-catching red stripes. The red-and-white motif is maintained by a skeletonised dial that highlights chronograph counters with racing influences while removing hour numerals.
The date window is framed in red and white, and the black crown mimics the twisting motion of a high-torque Formula One tyre.
The watch, which is powered by the CRMC-1 calibre, has a 50-hour power reserve, a function selector, and a flyback chronograph with 30-minute and 24-hour counters.
With a platinum rotor and ceramic bearings for high-efficiency winding, it operates at 28,800 vph.
Although the release was just confirmed, Leclerc has been wearing the 38.4mm x 47.34mm watch for weeks. The RM72-01 'Charles Leclerc,' which is limited to just 150 pieces and costs US$330,000 (~RM1,407,777), is reportedly already being delivered to a few chosen clients.

Oscar Piastri Wins Spanish GP, Extends Formula One Lead
FORMULA ONE championship leader Oscar Piastri said winning Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix was just what he needed after losing out to McLaren teammate Lando Norris over the previous two weekends. 'It's been a great year and this weekend's been exactly the kind of weekend I was looking for,' said the Australian after his fifth win in nine races. 'We executed everything we needed to when it counted and that's all you can ask for. The team gave me a great car once again. It's a lot of fun winning races at the moment.' The victory, the seventh of the 24-year-old's career, stretched Piastri's lead over second-placed Norris to 10 points after the Briton reduced it to three with his triumph in Monaco last Sunday. Norris also finished second at Imola, the race before Monaco won by Red Bull's Max Verstappen, with Piastri third. The Australian led from pole position in Spain, the top slot on the grid secured by the biggest margin of the year so far, after also topping the practice times at the Circuit de Catalunya. 'It's definitely up there,' Piastri said when asked whether it was his strongest yet in Formula One. 'I don't know if it's the best one, but certainly it's been a strong one. You know, it's pretty hard to complain with the results we've had this weekend. 'Just the effort that's gone in, and analysing some of the things from last week that we could have done better - I think we turned it around very nicely and got back to the form we wanted to be on.' Norris, winner of two races this year so far, said he did not feel he had lost anything. 'I think Oscar drove a very good race today and had a good day yesterday. I had the pace to go with him but not enough to try and catch up and put him under threat,' he said.

Piastri nails it in Spain — while Verstappen locks up and melts down
BARCELONA, June 2 — Formula One leader Oscar Piastri won the Spanish Grand Prix in a McLaren one-two with Lando Norris yesterday while Max Verstappen was left on the brink of a ban after a clash with Mercedes' George Russell. Polesitter Piastri won by 2.471 seconds to go 10 points clear of Norris with his fifth victory in nine races, and McLaren's seventh of the season. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc completed the podium in a race that left the drama to the end with a late safety car deployment. 'It's a nice way to bounce back from Monaco. A superb weekend,' said Piastri, who finished third last weekend in a race won from pole by Norris. Verstappen, who made four stops in total and ended up fighting on hard tyres against rivals with faster softs, collided with Leclerc and then twice with Russell after the safety car restart with six laps to go. Stewards handed the four-times world champion a 10-second post-race penalty for the second collision with Russell, which appeared deliberate, dropping Verstappen from fifth on the road to 10th. The Dutch driver was also given three penalty points to take his total tally to 11 for the 12 month period. One more before the end of June would incur a one-race ban. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes 2016 world champion and now a pundit for Sky Sports television, said Verstappen should have been black-flagged for what looked to him like intentional retaliation for the earlier contact. Another investigation into the clash with Leclerc drew no further action. Russell finished fourth while Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg finished a surprising and morale-boosting fifth for the future Audi team after passing Ferrari's seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton on the penultimate lap. Hamilton ended up sixth, Isack Hadjar seventh for Racing Bulls and Pierre Gasly eighth for Renault-owned Alpine to cap a solid weekend for the Frenchman celebrating soccer side Paris St Germain's Champions League win. Continuing the football theme, the race was attended by FIFA president Gianni Infantino and most of the England squad while the chequered flag was waved by Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski. First points Ferrari moved up to second from fourth in the constructors' standings, now 197 points behind McLaren. Verstappen remained third in the drivers' championship but now 49 points behind Piastri in what is becoming a McLaren battle. Home hero Fernando Alonso scored his first points of the season in ninth for Aston Martin, who had only one car on the grid due to Lance Stroll's withdrawal through injury after Saturday's qualifying. Piastri led away at the start with Verstappen seizing second from Norris while Hamilton and Leclerc moved up to fourth and fifth as Russell lost out. Hamilton let Leclerc through on lap 10 of 66 after the two Ferraris had run nose to tail. Norris took back second place from Verstappen on lap 13, the Dutch driver making no attempt to defend against the quicker McLaren and pitting in the next lap for fresh tyres. Verstappen took the lead again on lap 23 after Piastri pitted, with Norris making his first stop on lap 21 and coming out behind the Red Bull, but that lasted only until Verstappen pitted for a second time on lap 30. He came in for a third stop on lap 47 but Norris pitted the lap after to defend second place. A safety car deployment on lap 55, after Italian rookie Kimi Antonelli beached his Mercedes in the gravel, bunched up the field and triggered a rash of stops. The McLarens came in together for fresh tyres, double-stacking, and resumed ahead of Verstappen who had only hards available to him. 'That safety car just came at the wrong time,' he said. — Reuters
