Indies

Moser's New Pioneer Models Offer A Smaller Case, Big Appeal

Introducing the H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Tantalum Blue Enamel 

Inside MB&F's New M.A.D. House

The Watch World’s Next Gen Prodigies

<p>The man behind some of the most impressive launches by Panerai, Tudor and Montblanc over the last decade, Davide Cerrato is now leading HYT’s exceptionally innovative and hi-tech watchmaking in a new direction </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>As children, most of us have been fascinated with space explorations and imaginary super powers like teleporting or the ability to fly. Davide Cerrato, HYT’s new CEO, has been dreaming of doing all this and more with the future-forward brand that’s now witnessing a resurrection of sorts. An industry veteran, Cerrato is determined to push the boundaries in watchmaking with the incredibly complex and sophisticated meca-fluidic technology. In fact, over the past year, he has already wowed HYT enthusiasts with eight new watches, two new movements created in collaboration with watchmaker Eric Coudray and a refreshed design language for the brand.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In a recent interview with Wristcheck, Cerrato talked about his creative process, the rise of the Indies in recent years and his vision for HYT.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Excerpts from the interview:</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<img alt="HYT Watches" data-caption="About a year since joining HYT, Cerrato has introduced eight new watches and two new movements created in collaboration with watchmaker Eric Coudray Photo: Perkin Yu/ Wristcheck" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5233bdcc-9f73-4ada-95ae-ad10222d0b4e" data-image-style="blog_inline_image" height="1046" src="https://wc-strapi.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/article_import/images/188/HYT_008.jpg" width="1568" />
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>How did you get interested in watches?</strong></p>

<p>I can't really tell which of the two events happened first – I think it was the day my father taught me how to read analogical clocks. It was a kind of epiphany; a feeling you get when you finally master a new language and are able to communicate with someone else. The second was when I got my first watch. I was around four or five-years-old. It was a Casio. I was born in 1970, so it was a Casio that resembled a Star Wars watch. It was navy blue and made of plastic. The display was red because it was from the very early days of LED displays. It really looked like a Star Wars-like watch.</p>

<p><strong>What got you into the watchmaking industry?</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>I have a brain with an even strength of right and left hemisphere – which means I’m both creative and analytical. While I was successful in both the fields, I didn’t know which path to follow.<br />
<br />
After finishing my studies in industrial design and architecture, I felt like I was missing something. I fell in love with the world of economics and went to a business school. I started my career in marketing and joined Ferrero. Then I went into consumer electronics, which is already a combination of technology, conventional design and branding. It was quite crazy. We debuted our first interactive television then but it was too advanced for the times. After that, I returned to Italy and joined the Fiat Group, one of Italy's largest advertising firms, where you have this magical blend of technology, marketing and the chassis of a car, which is quite similar to watches. And then I had the opportunity to join Panerai around 22 years ago, when the company was rocketing.</p>

<p><strong>HYT filed for bankruptcy in March 2021 but was resurrected soon after. What has changed since you joined the company?</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Everything has changed. And it is important to convey the narrative clearly because people need to understand what happened so that they can fully understand what we are doing now. The former organization went bankrupt in March 2021—COVID was one of several reasons but it was not the only one. It was strategic decisions and shareholder structure, among other things. In June 2021, a new company was established with new investors. The Swiss company is called Kairos Technology Switzerland. They contacted me and I joined as the CEO on July 1st, also investing personally in the company. We are all fully convinced that the brand has huge potential if things are put together properly with the purpose of investing, reshaping the whole story, reworking the quality, and the design to make it viable in the long term.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>How has the quality of watches improved?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>We decided to revive the brand with new watchmaking elements, high-end movements, a collaboration with Eric Coudray and a greater emphasis on meca-fluidic tech. We found a new positioning for the brand, a connection to space and space exploration, which is a perfect metaphor to talk about high technology. We intended to give the brand a completely new spin with three essential elements – better quality, legibility and design.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<img alt="HYT Watches" data-caption="Right from improving the quality with the most recent version of the &quot;fluidic module&quot; to the &quot;big wheel&quot; seen on the rear, Cerrato has been working on making HYT watches more precise than ever&amp;nbsp;Photo: HYT" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="270b682a-5b39-4176-8210-3bb121f5916d" data-image-style="blog_inline_image" height="1046" src="https://wc-strapi.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/article_import/images/188/1_4.png" width="1568" />
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>To improve the quality, we based our fluidic technology on the most recent version of the "fluidic module." On the movement front, a movement was created with Eric Coudray in the final month of the previous organization. We used it as a starting point. The mechanism introduced a very interesting innovation, which is the big wheel seen on the rear of all current watches. This is the technological answer that allows us to fully synchronize fluidic and mechanical time today. As a result, the watch's accuracy is now very precise. We have improved the legibility dramatically with the tube. It is easier to read the time even while displaying two cycles of 12 hours. There is a retrograde effect of the fluid and of the movement itself.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The watch has been slimmed down, and we chose to give it a futuristic design. The watches are made of titanium and carbon fiber and are insanely lightweight – weighing just 80 grams.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>What’s your creative process like?</strong></p>

<p>I'm a pretty curious person, so it's really an organic process. I read a lot and spend a lot of time on social media and the Internet. I talk to a lot of people and have the good fortune of being able to travel a lot. These things help me with ideation and then there is an organic process where I imbibe those elements to start aggregating a concept.</p>

<p><strong>What inspires you?</strong></p>

<p>Curiosity. The foundation of everything is being open to look into a little bit of everything – it could be color, images, textures, stories, territories – it can really be everything and anything.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
I like cars. Born in Turin, I was raised in the midst of all the big automakers and car designers, like Pininfarina and Beltone. This was very inspiring. There are many parallels between car design and watchmaking, and how these two collide.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
I like incredible space sagas. We grew up dreaming of robots, with mangas, with science fiction, and with the hope of flying and visiting space and planets, and then everything went silent at the end of the last century. Now, everything seems to be coming back. It's insane! We dreamt of it 30-40 years ago and today we see it happening. We have a special emotional connection to it.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>What are the challenges of working with meca-fluidic watches?</strong></p>

<p>It's a totally new world. It's crazy. It’s what I call “alien technology,” which is incredibly complex and sophisticated – working with rules, processes, and constraints that are completely different from traditional watchmaking and then blending it with traditional watchmaking.<br />
<br />
When we first started working on the new design, we ran a number of tests to ensure that it was truly a technology that could be worn every day. I must say, I'm positively pleased, because when we sent the initial prototype of the Hasteroid to the laboratory for shock tests last year, the results were crazy. There were up to 18,300 shocks, each one getting stronger and stronger. In the last one, the watch case was kept intact, in such a manner that the capillaries interwoven into the rest of the dial kept it properly protected. So nothing happened to the capillary and the time remained completely precise. The only thing that happened was that two indexes that were glued to the product collapsed because it was a prototype; in the actual one, they are riveted and do not move.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
So, we're talking about a super complicated, really high-end watch that you can wear every day without any issues. Again, this is a mix of smart design, an extremely high-end mechanical approach and meca-fluidic technology.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<img alt="HYT Capillary" data-caption="Retrograde hours displayed by the fluidic capillaries Photo: HYT" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d45ea517-4b3e-4c98-b695-3163159e61c2" data-image-style="blog_inline_image" height="1046" src="https://wc-strapi.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/article_import/images/188/2_9.png" width="1568" />
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Do you see a growing interest for “meca-fluidic” watches by those who are into traditional watchmaking?</strong></p>

<p>Yes, and what's interesting now is that all of the changes we've made are now visible in our watchmaking. The watches are super light, easy to wear, and even though the diameter is still 48mm, it feels like 44-45mm on the wrist. We're also working on a lot of luminescence with Super-LumiNova® for our watches.</p>

<p><strong>What’s your take on pre-owned watches?</strong></p>

<p>It's part of the larger watch business and is quite fascinating. It welcomes new customers to the market at a more affordable price point, which is very important for the wider watchmaking ecosystem. We have some of our old watches in the pre-owned market that we are servicing. We offer five years of warranty for all our watches, both old and new, and we are doing everything we can to serve all of the previous ones.</p>

<p><strong>What do you hope to see in the independent watchmaking scene in the near future?</strong></p>

<p>It's magical to be part of the world of the independents right now. A few years ago, I was looking at it from afar but now I’m going really deep into this new segment. It is amazing because there's so much creativity, passion and talent. It's also a magical time for all independent brands because more and more collectors are now getting interested in their watchmaking. I'd like to see the indies go a little farther and continue doing what they’ve always done. To be on the radar has been a major battle for many of them since the beginning. It's a special time now that we're all on the radar. I'd like to see it growing and capturing a significant portion of the market. It would be really positive for the overall market, as all these brands are challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries. They are also bringing creativity in the way watches are distributed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Is HYT tapping into areas like the Space, metaverse or gaming?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>They are all of personal interest to me and we are working on two or three projects I can’t yet reveal but they will establish us as the brand of the future – helping us grow and build watchmaking for the years to come.</p>

<p><strong>Where do you see HYT 10 years from now?</strong></p>

<p>I have a clear vision for the brand and it’s in tune with our motto: Heroes of Your Time. We are already working on our meca-fluidic technology, using the capillary to display time and are using it in other ways to fully explore the brand's outstanding qualities. We are always scouting for new materials and colors in order to always be a little bit ahead of the game.</p>

<p><strong>What’s been the most challenging project so far?</strong></p>

<p>I'll answer by quoting Enzo Ferrari, who was Italian like myself, and he used to say, "The greatest Ferrari ever is the one we have yet to build. The next one," and that's exactly what it is. Each project is insane and then you are even more excited and passionate for the next.</p>

 Wristchat with Maximilian Büsser, Founder of MB&F

<p>Dressed up in rose-gold for the first time ever, this Streamliner is endowed with a vantablack® dial that presents a mesmerizing contrast against a glamorous gold case and sleek integrated bracelet </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>It looks like 2022 is going to be the year of the Streamliner for Moser. In June, Edouard Meylan scored a fantastic collaboration with Eric Peng Cheng's Undefeated to roll out the brand’s very first blacked-out DLC-coated watch — the <a href="https://wristcheck.com/discover/editor's-pick/h.-moser-and-cie.-streamliner-flyback-chronograph-dlc-x-undefeated">Streamliner Chronograph Undefeated</a>. With its multi-textured gray dial and the dramatic laser engraved Black Tiger Camo motif, the timepiece had both watch nuts and streetwear junkies going gaga over it. Hot on the heels of this cool collab, Moser is now dropping a new Streamliner Tourbillon – arguably the most gorgeous one we have seen so far. Dressed up in rose-gold for the first time ever, this Streamliner is endowed with a vantablack® dial that presents a mesmerizing contrast against its glamorous gold case and sleek integrated bracelet.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Now that we’ve tried on this audacious sports watch, it’s hard to imagine the gilded Streamliner Chrono paired with anything else except the dark and inviting vantablack®. Though one can always expect Meylan to pull another surprise on us, for now, this is as ravishing as it can get. Sporty, dependable and outdoorish in its vibe, the Streamliner has always been incredibly effortless to wear. With the introduction of the new Tourbillon Vantablack®, Moser has now elevated the glamor quotient of this collection.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<img alt="moser" data-caption="The Streamliner Tourbillon Vantablack® features a one-minute flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock with skeletonized bridges&amp;nbsp;Photo: Perkin Yu/ Wristcheck" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="58eb9a86-39cf-4e2a-b849-6f2f83a392c7" data-image-style="blog_inline_image" height="1046" src="https://wc-strapi.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/article_import/images/159/WCL_4142.jpg" width="1568" />
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The carefully constructed aesthetics aside, the new Streamliner is also Moser’s grand statement on making material innovation an integral part of the brand’s evolution. In 2018, they introduced the world’s “darkest man-made substance” – Vantablack® – in the Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept and since then we have seen several high-tech Moser watches like the Venturer Vantablack Black Hands, the <a href="https://wristcheck.com/discover/watch-drop/h.-moser-swiss-alp-watch-infinite-reboot">Swiss Alp Watch Final Upgrade</a>, the Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Only Watch and the <a href="https://wristcheck.com/discover/watch-drop/h.-moser-and-cie-endeavour-small-seconds-total-eclipse-x-the-armoury">Endeavour Small Seconds Total Eclipse</a> flaunting these tantalizing dark dials. Meylan made his intentions on making this material mainstream at Moser even more clear with the introduction of the Streamliner Chronograph "Blacker Than Black" at Watches and Wonders 2022. Paired with a Vantablack® backdrop that made the entire watch almost invisible except for the white hands floating in the center, this unique piece featured a case, bracelet and obviously the dial – completely coated in Vantablack®.<br />
<br />
Keeping it minimal as always, Moser has accentuated the beauty of Vantablack® on the new Streamliner with the use of red-gold indices that have been dextrously fixed from the back of the dial. Depending on the angle and the play of light, the indices seem to merge with the Vantablack® backdrop—giving the watch a whole new dimension.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<img alt="moser" data-caption="A statement piece, this 40mm watch is made of 18k red-gold topped by a slightly domed sapphire crystal and a screw-in crown Photo: Perkin Yu/ Wristcheck" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9d25b509-d244-43c6-881d-97aa41856834" data-image-style="blog_inline_image" height="1046" src="https://wc-strapi.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/article_import/images/159/WCL_4148.jpg" width="1568" />

<p>Besides the enticing contrast presented by the pitch black dial encased in the trademark cushion case, the watch’s highlight is the one-minute flying tourbillon whirling at six o'clock. It definitely brings one’s attention back to Moser’s strength as a manufacturer of crucial watch components like hairsprings, which is a huge feat in the world of high horology. The Streamliner Tourbillon Vantablack® is equipped with the powerful HMC 804 fitted out with a double hairspring designed and produced in-house by H. Moser &amp; Cie.'s sister company Precision Engineering AG. How are two hairsprings better than one, you might ask? Well, the idea behind these twin components is to ensure better accuracy, as the two hairsprings are expected to cancel out the effect of gravity on each other and minimize friction.&nbsp;</p>

<p>We can’t help but mention the meticulous finishing on this watch, which makes the red-gold look even better than your usual watches crafted out of precious metals. As expected of Moser, the polishing and satin-finishing on the case and bracelet is absolutely flawless. So what you have here is a statement piece that’s innovative, ultra modern and distinctly Moser. So if you have a million bucks on you, let this be the Moser you’d buy this year.</p>
