Moser introduced a highly complicated version of its integrated bracelet Streamliner sports watch this week.
The Streamliner Minute Repeater is presented in a 42.3 mm stainless steel case that’s water resistant to 50 meters, features an Aqua Blue (gradient) fumé “Grand Feu” enamel dial, a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock, and a minute repeater with exposed hammers and gongs visible on the dial between 10 and 11. The hours, minutes, tourbillon, and minute repeater are powered by the hand-wound caliber HMC 905 movement, made of 400 components, with a 90-hour power reserve. $296,000
In Biel/Bienne, independent watchmaker Armin Strom unveiled its second watch with an integrated bracelet, the One Week Manufacture Edition. Presented in a 41 mm x 10.6 mm stainless steel case that’s water-resistant to 100 meters — this is the company’s sportiest timepiece. The manual-winding ARM21 caliber features two mainspring barrels, which work in series to provide consistent levels of energy to the gear train. Held by two finger-style bridges, the barrels are symmetrically arranged on the right portion of the open dial. The manual winding process is mesmerizing because the motion of two ratchet wheels winding both barrels in opposite directions is visible from the dial side. $33,600
In Le Brassus, Audemars Piguet recently debuted three Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked timepieces — available in stainless steel, black ceramic, and 18K yellow gold — limited to 150 pieces per version. A 41 mm x 9.7 mm case with 50 meters of water resistance offers a fully openworked dial that reveals the components of the Double Balance Wheel movement that punctuates the watch face, yet is not so transparent you can see all the way through to your arm. For the steel and ceramic models, AP used pink gold colored dial/movements, and a dark rhodium treatment to contrast the yellow gold variation. $76,400+
