The Intersection of Elite Car Racing and High Watchmaking: H. Moser & Cie's New Streamliner Watches Shine

The remarkable alliance of H. Moser & Cie and Alpine Motorsports has discovered new horizons with the launch of the Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition and the Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition. The collaboration, rooted in shared values of mechanical brilliance, streamlined engineering, and delivering exceptional performance under pressure, beautifully combines the world of horology and elite car racing. At the forefront of the release is the Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition. Housed in a stainless steel case, the design showcases a bold, ergonomic structure that merges visual impact with wearability. It dimensions at a substantial 42.3mm in diameter and 14.2mm in height, accentuated by a blue PVD treatment that not only bolsters durability but reflects Alpine’s signature blue, symbolising the synergy between the brands. Ensuring coherence with the Streamliner family’s distinct design ethos, its construction showcases a cushion-shaped form with seamless transitions and invisible lugs, enhancing its streamlined silhouette. The white rubber strap is designed to assimilate into the case perfectly, further reinforcing the sleek profile. The case top features radial brushing which provides a practical, non-reflective finish, while the polished sides provide a subtle contrast, avoiding any overt flashiness. Encased within the watch is a slightly domed sapphire crystal dial that offers optimum scratch resistance and clear visibility. In synchrony, a sapphire caseback reveals the openworked movement, further testament to the mechanical purity of the timepiece. Both crystals feature an anti-reflective coating, optimising legibility. Lastly, positioned at 4 o’clock is the screw-down crown, offering enhanced protection and clean lines due to its recessed positioning. It also features a white rubber ring for an improved grip and comes engraved with the ‘M’ logo, as a final nod to the brand’s ingenuity and for a distinctive finish. A watch built for mechanical purity, it sets a benchmark in the realm of horology as well as car racing, proving that precision and performance can indeed go hand in hand.
