Back To Vantablack®

We created three timepieces that’ll take you into another dimension – with a mysterious glamor to give even the most refined of aesthetes pause for thought.

Origin Story…

On April Fools’ Day 2019, H. Moser & Cie. shared a mocked-up image on social media – of a watch with a Vantablack dial and all-but-invisible black hands. When it prompted an avalanche of requests from our followers, we looked deep into our crystal ball and saw a vision – of a watch that spoke only to its wearer. We retreated to the atelier, and set to work making dreams into reality. The result? Uniting cutting-edge technology, timeless design and eloquent emotion, these creations are a meeting of Moser minds and your desires. 

Secret Agents

Featuring minimalist concept dials in Vantablack®, they are equipped (for the very first time) with subtle black hands that emerge like shadows from the velvet depths of the dial. Available in three timeless styles – the Venturer Vantablack® Black Hands featuring an 18k white-gold 39mm case, a steel-cased XL version in 43mm, and an Endeavour Tourbillon Vantablack® Black Hands in a DLC-coated case with a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock… each finished with an elegant black alligator strap. Shifting into stealth mode with a Bond-like glamor, they reveal the time only to the wearer – the leaf-shaped hands are a mystery to onlookers. This effect is heightened in the Endeavour Tourbillon Vantablack® Black Hands model, with its black DLC case.

Anti-Matter

Any Moser-lover probably knows all about Vantablack® – an extraordinary material developed for use in astrophysics and thermo-camouflage, now wearable in watch form. Just in case you’re still in the dark (or rather, not yet in the dark), let’s recap: composed of carbon nanostructures, Vantablack® absorbs 99.965% of photons. As our eyes need reflected light to create images, Vantablack® is perceived as the absence of matter – a black hole, right here on earth. And with an H. Moser & Cie. timepiece? Right here on your wrist.

Endeavour Tourbillon Skeleton

An expression of our minimalist philosophy, pushed to the limit. The Endeavour Tourbillon Skeleton is fully openworked, stripped back to what’s essential and nothing more. Time is driven by a one-minute flying tourbillon with a double hairspring, visible in its entirety. Housed in a 40mm 5N red gold case and powered by the skeletonised HMC 814, this is a watch for those who value subtraction. For whom reduction is the clearest form of revelation.

Darker than black: H. Moser & Cie. combines its ingenious double hairspring flying tourbillon with the blackest material known to man: Vantablack®. The Endeavour Tourbillon in steel and Vantablack® dial is the epitome of “less is more”, where the strikingly black dial void of a logo, markers or any embellishment gives way to the hypnotic tourbillon.
