A New Chapter in the Alpine Collaboration
H. Moser & Cie. and Alpine Motorsports continue their partnership with the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Ceramic Alpine Limited Edition, the third creation to emerge from the collaboration. Following earlier models focused on mechanical spectacle and the demands of motorsport performance, the latest creation turns its attention to materials. The defining feature is an anthracite grey ceramic case, contrasted by blue finishing across the bridges and main plate of the skeletonised movement. The result combines the flowing architecture of the Streamliner collection with an openworked display designed to place the mechanics at the centre of the watch.
From Motorsport Performance to Material Innovation
The partnership between H. Moser & Cie. and Alpine Motorsports began in 2024 with the intention of creating watches around shared technical values rather than simply placing a logo on a dial.
The collaboration has already produced the Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine Limited Edition, followed by the Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition and Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition.
The new Ceramic Alpine Edition takes a different approach. Its focus is the relationship between material, performance and design. As in motorsport, where material selection can influence weight, strength and performance, high-end watchmaking also relies on materials capable of supporting both technical and aesthetic objectives.
Anthracite Grey Ceramic
For the latest Streamliner, H. Moser & Cie. uses anthracite grey ceramic for the 40mm case. Ceramic offers a combination of lightness, durability and resistance to scratching, while remaining resistant to oxidation and changes in appearance associated with certain traditional case materials. The material also reinforces the contemporary character of the Streamliner architecture. The case alternates between polished and satin-finished surfaces, allowing light to move across its curved construction.
The Fluid Architecture of the Streamliner
The Streamliner collection is defined by its continuous, flowing lines. Rather than relying on angular transitions, the case architecture follows a fluid silhouette designed to appear as though it has been shaped by movement. The ceramic construction reinforces this aesthetic. The 40mm case extends naturally into an integrated blue Alcantara strap, creating a direct visual connection with the blue finishing of the movement.
A Fully Skeletonised HMC 814 Calibre
The latest creation retains the skeletonised character that has defined the Alpine collaboration from the beginning. The dial is fully openworked, exposing the architecture of the HMC 814 calibre. With elements of the movement visible from the front, the construction places emphasis on the mechanical components rather than concealing them beneath a conventional dial. The bridges and main plate are finished in blue, while the tourbillon bridge continues the same Alpine-inspired treatment. An openworked barrel further reinforces the impression of transparency and lightness.
The One-Minute Flying Double Hairspring Tourbillon
At 6 o'clock sits the watch's central mechanical spectacle: a one-minute flying double hairspring tourbillon.
The regulating system is designed and manufactured in-house by Precision Engineering AG, H. Moser & Cie's sister company specialising in regulating organs and balance springs. The double hairspring is designed to improve precision and isochronism by compensating for variations in the centre of gravity that occur as the hairsprings expand and contract. Positioned without a conventional upper bridge, the flying tourbillon appears to float within the openworked architecture.
Globolight® for Legibility
The hour markers and inserts incorporated into the three-dimensional hour and minute hands are made from Globolight®. The material combines a ceramic base with Super-LumiNova®, providing both a distinctive three-dimensional appearance and strong legibility. Against the dark ceramic case and blue skeletonised movement, the luminous elements provide a clear visual reference for reading the time.
Blue Alcantara Strap
The watch is completed by an integrated blue Alcantara strap. Its colour corresponds with the blue finishing of the bridges, main plate and tourbillon bridge, while the material reinforces the motorsport character of the collaboration. The integrated construction maintains the Streamliner collection's continuous visual flow from case to strap.
The Alpine Design Language
The colour palette of the new creation reflects the Alpine universe. The anthracite grey ceramic case provides the technical foundation, while the blue finishing introduces the strongest visual signature. The combination of ceramic, openworked mechanics and Alcantara creates a visual vocabulary that connects contemporary haute horlogerie with the material-focused world of competitive motorsport.
