The Swiss Alp Watch Final Upgrade marked the last installment in our celebrated concept series, which began all the way back in 2016.

H. Moser & Cie. created this remarkable series with a signature touch of irony and a large helping of exquisite craftsmanship: an exploration of modern movements and style, the Swiss Alp Concept series has the appearance of a digital watch while concealing a 100% mechanical Haute Horlogerie heart. The Final Upgrade is a unique piece – released in a limited edition series incorporating the fascinating depths of Vantablack® to a touch of high-tech mystery. While this exclusive timepiece has now sold out, its legend lives on…

If life has taught us anything, it’s that connection is essential – but what are we connecting to? Hopefully, to those we love, to ourselves, to the passions and projects we care about most. To express this concept in an elegant timepiece, H. Moser & Cie. created a final edition in the Swiss Alp Watch collection: a very special model inspired by the smartwatch design, but without batteries, data, tracking, updates, tweets, monitors, alerts, distractions, or demands. For the self-starters, and the self-chargers. For those who want to measure time, not consume it. The only thing this watch uploads? Life.

With its 100% Swiss Manufacture movement and a minimum power reserve of 96 hours, The Swiss Alp Watch Final Upgrade is made to last. No charging required – so you can recharge yourself instead.

A rectangular case with soft, rounded corners is topped by a crystal with curved edges that nod to smartwatch design, in a postmodern blending of genres that’s perfectly on-trend. This exceptional model combines a stunning Vantablack® dial without logo or indices; the blackest material on earth, Vantablack® is simultaneously mysteriously elegant and fiercely contemporary.

An ode to understatement, this ultra-contemporary yet timeless watch creates a striking contrast between aesthetic simplicity and complex materials; a steel case with black DLC coating completes the power of the Vantablack® dial.

The Limited Edition Swiss Alp Watch Final Upgrade is now sold out, but you can explore the specs here.
