    New Moser Streamliner - solid gold, Vantablack dial and a tourbillon!

    I've loved every model in the Streamliner range - notwithstanding that they're hilariously beyond my reach, financially - and even though I'm no fan of copper-coloured gold, this latest effort - reviewed in Time & Tide (from whence the pics come), is a stunner:



    That pierced dial is truly Moser at its best for me.

    Not too bad around the back either -



    A mere $119,000...

    Better start doing the lottery.

    Absolutely hideous.

    See I think that is beautiful. No logo, crazy deep black dial, gold for miles. Fully get the posh Accurist thing, but I love it.

    I think I'd love it except for the tourbillon, which - for me - ruins it. The dial and hands are beautifully minimalist without it. Just for fun, I created a sort of proof of concept.



    Still - I can't afford one either.

    I'm no fan of open-heart dials at all, tourbillon or otherwise, so much prefer this mock-up over the real thing. Still not something I'd wear, though.

    As an aside, I'm surprised that Vantablack isn't used more often for watch dials.

    I rarely see a cut-out dial that I like. This looks much better in the mock-up without the cut-out.

    Pretty sure Moser have the exclusive rights to use it within watches. I'm sure I read about that. Having handled one of the regular Vantablack Mosers in store, I was blown away. Amazing watch, not something I'd drop c.£20k (or w/e it is) on, but if money was no object then it's definitely unique.

    The only place it looks good from, otherwise just awful.

    I was just going to say it would look better without the tourbillon.

    FWIW I really hate tourbillon cut-out dials. Puts me right off the complication.

    Im a big fan of the streamliner, tho.

    Open-heart or cutaway dials always make me think of Harvey Dent/Two-Face in Batman.

    Makes me think that the dial has got an a-hole.

    So if you hated that one, there's the new Bucherer Blue gem-set version...



    https://asset.bucherer.com/video/upl...0Cie._16-9.mp4

    Never liked a gem-set watch before, but this £104,000 beauty? Got to be a bargain for a steel-cased watch with a scratch-proof bezel?!

    Would love it without the Tourbillon- most superfluous and ugly complication ever!
