Description
H. Moser & Cie. approaches gem-setting with the same philosophical discipline it applies to dial design — deploying precious stones not as decoration but as a means of amplifying the movement’s visual architecture. The 6814-1201 demonstrates this precisely: sixty baguette-cut sapphires invisibly set into the Streamliner’s cushion bezel in a full spectral gradation, no metal visible between stones, the rainbow halo serving to draw the eye inward toward the skeletonized caliber HMC 814 and its one-minute flying tourbillon suspended at six o’clock. The invisible setting itself — requiring each stone to be individually selected for both colour and dimensional tolerance — represents a gemstone-setting achievement of considerable technical difficulty, made more demanding by the bezel’s curved Streamliner profile. The double hairspring, developed in-house by sister company Precision Engineering AG, provides isochronism compensation that a conventional single hairspring cannot achieve.
The 40mm stainless steel cushion case carries a bezel invisibly set with 60 baguette-cut rainbow sapphires totalling 2.90 carats, with domed sapphire crystals front and back and 120m water resistance. The fully skeletonized dial presents gold-plated indices, three-dimensional gold-plated hands with Globolight luminescent inserts, and a one-minute flying tourbillon at six o’clock. Anthracite-finished bridges and mainplate with an 18K red gold engraved rotor are visible throughout. The integrated stainless steel bracelet with three-blade folding clasp completes the reference. Caliber HMC 814, automatic, 72-hour power reserve, powers the movement.
