H. Moser & Cie. & Studio Underd0g: It's About Passion (Fruit)
The new unprecedented collaboration between the two most rebellious brands in the watch world is what dreams are made of
In a delightful twist of fate, two unbridled brands – H. Moser & Cie. and Studio Underd0g- have come together to create an extraordinary collaboration. It’s an unexpected union between two maverick brands from opposite ends of the high-end watch spectrum that ignites a spark of creativity. The Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit by H. Moser & Cie. and the 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit by Studio Underd0g are a dynamic duo that goes beyond telling time to make a bold statement. While the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit embodies H. Moser & Cie.'s signature minimalism, the Studio Underd0g 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit showcases a daring foray into Swiss-cam operated mono-pusher chronograph movement, proving that even an underdog can make a mark in the world of luxury watches.
Case and Dial
Explosions of vibrant, tangy colors adorn these watches, reflecting the upbeat energy and boundless imagination that define both brands. The Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit timepiece boasts an alluring combination of a deep purple lacquered sunburst dial and a Maracuja “Grand Feu” enamel dial resting on an 18k yellow gold base with a hammered texture. Similarly, the 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit watch showcases a multilayered dial with gradients of Amber and Royal Purple hues. Both watches proudly stand apart without any logos, showcasing their distinctive style and expert craftsmanship. A subtle touch of green on each timepiece serves as a symbol for the seed of passion within every watch enthusiast, paying homage to the legacy of innovation and creativity embodied by H. Moser & Cie. and Studio Underd0g.
Movement
The H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit boasts the innovative and celebrated HMC 800 caliber - a sleek, hand-wound Perpetual Calendar movement that seamlessly integrates the calendar mechanism into the overall design instead of relying on a separate module. Meanwhile, the Studio Underd0g 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit is equipped with the legendary Swiss-made Hand-wound Sellita SW510 M movement with hours, minutes, and small seconds features at 9 o’clock and a 60-second chronograph at the center.
