H. Moser & Cie. Shows the Pioneer Flying Hours at Geneva Watch Days

— September 5, 2025 — Fashion
H. Moser & Cie. presents the Pioneer Flying Hours as a striking new expression of its signature wandering hours complication, revealed at Geneva Watch Days. The watch features three orbiting hour discs that “jump” instantaneously into view around a central minutes disc, creating a hypnotic, satellite-like display free of traditional markers.

It is available in two versions, the red gold edition pairs a 5N case with black DLC titanium accents and a deep aventurine dial, while the stainless steel model introduces a crisp white fumé dial. Both are housed in a 42.8 mm case rated to 120 m water resistance and feature curved sapphire crystals. Driving the display is the in-house automatic HMC 240 movement with a Straumann hairspring, offering 72 hours of power reserve. The limited red gold variant is capped at 100 pieces, while the steel version enters the permanent collection.
