ReviewA Galactic Playfield: The H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Flying Hours

Eccentric and elegant in equal doses, H. Moser & Cie. has undertaken a new creative route for the creation of this year’s Endeavour Flying Hours variants that are tailored after the resounding success of the 2018 edition. While both the watches exhibit H. Moser & Cie.’s futuristic display of time, the real deal lies in the brand’s muse for the watches ie the planetary system that led to the inception of timekeeping as we know it today.

An Ingenious Dial

The cutting-edge design of the dial, combined with a superlative colour scheme, make for a unique iteration of the planetary system. The play of circles to interpret time may seem complex at first, but is extremely intriguing. The large sapphire disc in the centre indicates minutes based on a 240-degree sector, while the three sub-dial discs have hour numerals etched on them and interplay with the centre circle to display time. Like the planets, the watchmaker has built each disc to have its own axis. Dressed in a radiant blue tone, the dial is an interplay of rhodium-plated fumé, which serves as the perfect background for the ‘funky blue’ hour sub-dials. To ensure heightened legibility, this particular reference is infused with Globolight® and Super-LumiNova.
