New H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Tourbillon Concept and Centre Seconds Vantablack & Red Gold Watch Review – Price, Design & Features

Unveiling the Radiant Excellence: H. Moser & Cie.’s Red Gold Masterpieces with Vantablack Dials

H. Moser & Cie., renowned for their horological craftsmanship, proudly unveils two exquisite models – the H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Tourbillon Concept and the Endeavour Centre Seconds – showcasing opulent red gold cases adorned with the enigmatic Vantablack dials. This groundbreaking innovation, the darkest and most light-absorbing synthetic substance on the planet, amplifies the allure of these masterpieces, making them a definitive presence in the world of haute horlogerie.

Embracing Darkness: The Allure of Vantablack

Vantablack is a marvel of carbon nanotechnology and stands as an unparalleled achievement in the realm of artificial materials. With its extraordinary capacity to absorb up to an astonishing 99.975% of radiation within the visible spectrum, Vantablack creates a visual phenomenon reminiscent of a cosmic black hole. When light encounters this extraordinary material, it becomes entrapped, deflected, and engrossed among the intricate forest of countless nanotubes. Originally developed for aerospace and defense applications such as telescopes, infrared cameras, and thermal camouflage, Vantablack made its debut in the horological domain when Moser adorned the dial of the Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept in 2018, resulting in a striking visual spectacle that captivated connoisseurs worldwide.

Although not classified as a “concept” watch, the Endeavour Centre Seconds possesses an unmistakable air of sophistication. Marking its presence in the horological landscape, this three-hand model first emerged in the previous year, boasting a Vantablack dial within a stainless steel case.

The minimalist dial, adorned with delicate golden leaf-shaped hands and slender red gold indices, allows the mesmerizing qualities of the Vantablack dial to shine forth. Measuring 40mm in diameter and 11.2mm in height, the case bears only the iconic ‘M’ on its knurled crown, a testament to Moser’s commitment to subtle yet distinctive branding.
