Moser Unveils Limited Edition Duo In Collaboration With Alpine Motorsports
This is indeed an unconventional collaboration with two very different watches - Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition, a high horology piece, and Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition, a purpose-built smart watch.
The Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition is a mechanical chronograph that is meant to represent the spirit of Alpine racing. Designed in consultation with Alpine drivers, this watch features a skeletonized dial. The aesthetic choices, including bold PVD blue and white color evoke the aggressiveness of need for speed, and align with Alpine's branding.
The design elements draw inspiration from the racetrack. According to Moser, V-shaped bridges visible through the dial pay homage to the triangulated suspensions of single-seater cars, while the central bridge mimics the shape of a driver's helmet.
Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition is powered by impressive HMC 700 automatic skeleton movement, developed in collaboration with Agenhor. It features a Flyback function, allowing for instantaneous resetting of the chronograph—a crucial feature in the fast-paced world of Formula 1 racing, 72-hours of power reserve, and skeletonized tungsten oscillating weight.
While Moser is known for technically advanced watches with eye-catching dials, the partnership with Alpine is taking them down the path of 'hyper watches' as we are accustomed to see from Roger Dubuis and Richard Mille. And Streamliner is good platform for Moser to build such hyper watch that has plenty of real estate (42.3mm x 14.2mm) for more complex movements and skeletonization.
Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition comes with an integrated white rubber strap and is limited to 200 pieces.
The second piece from Moser, Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition, is even more of a surprising announcement. Drivers Edition is purpose built for the engineers and mechanics to enhance communication and efficiency within the team, ensuring that every second counts during a race.
This unique piece infuses technology with classic watchmaking. The watch features a silent black screen that activates with a simple touch, providing basic information such as GMT, split-seconds chronograph, and a perpetual calendar. However, the F1 mode includes countdowns to race starts and notifications for key moments throughout the season, making it an indispensable tool for the team and for the fans of the Alpine team.
The Mechanics Edition has the familiar Streamliner case with a Funky Blue fumé dial. The watch is compatible with both Android and iOS devices, syncing via Bluetooth to provide real-time updates. With a power reserve of up to one year in time-only mode, this watch is engineered for longevity, standing out from other smart watches.
The Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition comes with a blue rubber strap, matching the blue fumé dial. The watch is limited to 500 pieces.
A note on how to purchase the watches: Moser explained that the watches are sold as a set that is limited to 200 pieces and the retail price is USD 70,000. However, if someone purchased 2024 Cylindrical Tourbillon Alpine, they could order the Mechanics Edition.

Report – Inter Milan Pursuit Of France Defender Suffers Fatal Blow As Bayer Leverkusen Strike Agreement With Sevilla
Inter Milan will reportedly lose out on the battle for the signature of Loic Bade, who is close to joining Bayer Leverkusen. According to RMC Sports via FCInterNews, the German heavyweights have agreed terms with Sevilla. Therefore, Loic Bade could soon be on his way to the BayArena to pen a multi-year contract. Indeed, the parties are negotiating a five-year deal, with the Frenchman set to depart Spain after two years. Meanwhile, Inter must turn to other targets. Bayer Leverkusen Set to Sign Inter Milan Target Loic Bade MADRID, SPAIN – DECEMBER 22: Loic Bade of Sevilla FC looks on during the LaLiga match between Real Madrid CF and Sevilla FC at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on December 22, 2024 in Madrid, Spain. (Photo by) Despite Inter's interest, the 25-year-old is one step away from linking up with Erik ten Hag's side. Indeed, Los Rojiblancos have accepted Leverkusen's €30 million offer, including bonuses. Furthermore, the player seems enthusiastic about swapping a downtrodden Sevilla for Die Werkself. With Bade heading to the Bundesliga, Inter will explore other options in the market. Oumar Solet could be an exciting alternative, though Udinese's asking price remains uncertain.

Morning Bid: Caution on Ukraine, eyes on Jackson Hole
By Mike Dolan LONDON (Reuters) - What matters in U.S. and global markets today By Mike Dolan, Editor-At-Large, Finance and Markets Subdued world markets eyed proposals for a Ukraine-Russia summit with caution, while updates on the shaky U.S. housing market on Tuesday and this week's Federal Reserve conference in Jackson Hole dominated thinking. European stock benchmarks nudged higher and the defence sector slipped after U.S. President Donald Trump told his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Washington would help guarantee Ukraine's security in any peace deal to end Russia's war. Germany said Zelenskiy and Russian President Vladimir Putin would meet within the next two weeks. In response, the euro firmed against the dollar, crude oil ticked lower and gold edged up. * U.S. Treasuries have been on the backfoot since the alarming U.S. producer price report last week, with 30-year bond yields holding just shy of 4.95% on Tuesday and the two-to-30 year yield curve gap firming above 117 basis points for the first time since January 2022. With July housing starts on the diary later, along with a retail update from Home Depot, Fed futures currently price just over an 80% chance of a quarter point rate cut next month. Fed Chair Jerome Powell gives his keynote Jackson Hole speech on Friday. * S&P Global on Monday affirmed its 'AA+' U.S. sovereign credit rating and assigned it a stable outlook, saying the revenue from Trump's tariffs will offset the deficit hit from his recent fiscal bill and the budget gap would average 6% of GDP during the 2025-2028 period - down from 7.5% in 2024. Wall Street stock futures were flat ahead of Tuesday's bell after ending little changed yesterday, with Chinese and Japanese stocks in the red earlier. * Palo Alto Networks forecast revenue and profit above estimates on Monday, betting on growing demand for its artificial intelligence-powered cybersecurity solutions - sending its shares up 5% in extended trading. In other tech news, Intel is getting a $2 billion capital injection from SoftBank Group in a vote of confidence for the troubled U.S. chipmaker and Nvidia is developing a new AI chip for China based on its latest Blackwell architecture that will be more powerful than the H20 model it is currently allowed to sell there. Today's Market Minute * Intel (INTC.O), is getting a $2 billion capital injection from SoftBank Group, in a major vote of confidence for the troubled U.S. chipmaker that is in the middle of a turnaround effort. * Nvidia (NVDA.O), is developing a new AI chip for China based on its latest Blackwell architecture that will be more powerful than the H20 model it is currently allowed to sell there, two people briefed on the matter said. * U.S. President Donald Trump told President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday that the United States would help guarantee Ukraine's security in any deal to end Russia's war there, though the extent of any assistance was not immediately clear. * Trump's high-stakes diplomacy to resolve the war in Ukraine is unlikely to jolt oil and gas markets, no matter the outcome, writes ROI energy columnist Ron Bousso. * Consumer spending's surprising resilience is a key reason why the economy has not only avoided recession, but continued to grow at a solid clip. The big question now, writes ROI markets columnist Jamie McGeever, is whether American households can keep that going, especially with higher, tariff-fueled prices coming down the pike. Chart of the day With Fed Chair Powell's speech at Jackson Hole on Friday watched closely for any signal about a resumption of Fed easing, the two key metrics on unemployment and inflation have changed little since the 2024 setpiece that flagged the first series of Fed cuts. Today's events to watch * U.S. July housing starts/permits (8:30 AM EDT); Canada July consumer prices (8:30 AM EDT) * Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman speaks * U.S. corporate earnings: Home Depot, Medtronic, Keysight, Jack Henry Want to receive the Morning Bid in your inbox every weekday morning?
