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.

Swiss watchmaker H. Moser & Cie. opens 1st boutique in S. Korea
Swiss luxury watch brand H. Moser & Cie. is set to open its first South Korean boutique on Wednesday at the Galleria Department Store in Seoul's Apgujeong-dong. The boutique, created in partnership with Damiani Group's retail chain Rocca, is the fifth for the brand globally, following locations in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and San Francisco. 'Korea is a very important and influential market,' said Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie., at a press conference in Seoul on Tuesday. 'We've grown quickly in the past 10 years, and now we're ready to bring Moser to Korean collectors.' With fewer than 4,000 watches produced annually, H. Moser & Cie. is known for its exclusivity and craftsmanship. The new boutique reflects the brand's minimalist and modern aesthetic, using glass and concrete to evoke the feeling of an art gallery. 'Our watches are created as pieces of art,' Meylan said. 'We don't place our logo on the dial because we want the craftsmanship to speak for itself. It's a quiet confidence that our customers appreciate.' Moser's signature collections as well as one limited-edition Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Boutique Edition will be available at the Seoul location. Only 17 Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Boutique Edition watches are available worldwide. The launch comes amid growing demand for high-end independent watch brands in Korea's luxury market. The boutique aims to offer local consumers a deeper connection to Moser's heritage and artisanal approach.

H. Moser & Cie. Launches A Bright Cheerful Pop Collection
Small seconds pop H. Moser & Cie. has never been one to shy away from a bold idea, but its new Pop collection might be the most vibrant expression of the brand since many years. This series of limited edition watches takes the minimal Endeavour platform and completely reimagines it using natural gemstones, turning each piece into a wearable, and highly technical, work of art. The Pop collection is made up of various Endeavour Small Seconds Concept, Endeavour Tourbillon Concept, and Minute Repeater Tourbillon Concept models, all distinguished by vivid, two-tone dials crafted from precious stones such as Burmese jade, pink opal, lapis lazuli, lemon chrysoprase, turquoise, and coral. The result is a dramatic contrast between Moser's typically minimalist aesthetic and an unapologetically colourful, maximalist material palette. Pistachio dial There are no indices or logos on the dials, just the natural texture and hue of the stones, and the brand's signature leaf-shaped hands. The Small Seconds Concept models are housed in 38mm steel cases and run on the automatic HMC 202 calibre with hacking seconds, a bi-directional pawl winding system, and a solid gold rotor. These models are limited to 28 pieces per dial combination. Tourbillon Movement The Tourbillon Concept editions take things a step further, introducing a one-minute flying tourbillon into a 40mm steel case, powered by the automatic HMC 805 calibre with a skeletonised red gold rotor. Each dial variation is limited to just five pieces. At the top of the series, the Minute Repeater Tourbillon Concept comes in a red gold case and combines both complications, minute repeater and flying tourbillon, on a dial adorned with hand-lacquered and gemstone surfaces. Each of these is a unique piece. Blue dial Beyond the technical specs and finishing, what stands out most is how confidently these watches break away from traditional high horology watch design. The dials are vivid and unusual, but thoughtfully paired: jade with pink opal, lapis with lemon chrysoprase, and turquoise with coral. Each pairing balances softness and saturation, structure and chaos. The use of ostrich and alligator leather straps in muted grey tones helps ground the otherwise eye-catching compositions. This is not the first time Moser has played with colour, but it's the first time they've combined natural stones in this way. It's also another reminder that for all of its mechanical sophistication, the brand continues to value creativity, humour, and surprise, making the Pop collection less of a gimmick and more of a genuine contribution to modern independent watchmaking.
