H. Moser & Cie. has never touched ceramics until now. The Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic ref. 6805-2100 marks the Schaffhausen independent manufacture's first foray into the material, and the decision to debut it within the Streamliner collection feels less like experimentation and more like inevitability. This is a genuine material debut for Moser, not an extension of an existing ceramic lineup, but a first chapter written within one of their most demanding collections.
Things to Know About the Watch
The 40 mm anthracite dark grey ceramic case is 12.8 mm thick—including its sapphire crystal—and fitted with a screw-in crown engraved with the Moser "M" and a sapphire caseback providing a water resistance of 120 meters.
The full-ceramic execution extends to the integrated bracelet, secured by a folding triple-blade clasp, making this a complete ceramic-on-ceramic package rather than a hybrid approach. What makes it impressive is the finishing. Vertical satin brushing on the bracelet links, polished bevels on the case edges, and circular satin finishing on the case flanks are all applied by hand to a material notoriously resistant to such refinement. Ceramic doesn't forgive—every surface treatment here is earned.
At the center of that restrained grey shell sits a Red fumé Grand Feu enamel dial that borders on confrontational. Two enamel pigments are hand-applied in a gradient over a hammered white gold base, then fired repeatedly to achieve a chromatic depth that shifts between deep crimson and luminous scarlet. True to Moser's Concept philosophy, there are no indices, no logo, just colour, light, and a pair of hands fitted with Globolight inserts. The visual contrast against the anthracite ceramic is arrestingly good. At six o’clock, the one-minute flying tourbillon takes the center stage.
The Movement
The Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic is powered by the automatic calibre HMC 805 beating at 21,600 vph, and offering a minimum 72-hour power reserve. Winding is handled by a bidirectional pawl system and a skeletonised 18K red gold oscillating weight engraved with the Moser logo.
The movement's defining technical feature remains Moser's proprietary double hairspring, designed and produced in-house by sister company Precision Engineering AG. The paired hairsprings compensate for centre-of-gravity shifts during expansion, meaningfully improving isochronism—the kind of quiet, substantive engineering that defines this manufacture. The anthracite-finished bridges with Moser's signature double stripes echo the ceramic exterior, while the red gold rotor provides a warm counterpoint visible through the sapphire case back.
Summary & Price
With the Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic, Moser has done what it does best by taking a quiet, confident step into new territory without losing sight of what makes the manufacture distinctive. Ceramic was the right material for this collection, and the execution leaves little room for argument.
