Just when you thought H. Moser & Cie. couldn’t pull another horological rabbit out of its minimalist, logo-less hat, the Schaffhausen rebels return with a celestial duet: the Pioneer Flying Hours in two dashing new iterations. Picture this: a red gold and titanium time machine with a dial like a star-pocked midnight sky, and its steel sibling—a frosty, industrial vision of modernity with a crisp White fumé dial. One limited to 100 pieces, the other unshackled by numbers, both unmistakably Moser.

This isn’t just a new model—it’s an orbital realignment. Moser has taken their Flying Hours concept, first launched in 2018, and given it a kinetic evolution. Out with the slow-burn elegance of numerals fading in and out. In with the instantaneous jump hour—a sharper, cleaner, more intuitive display. At the turn of each hour, the numeral doesn’t meander in; it arrives with purpose.

Under the hood? The in-house HMC 240 calibre, a mechanical marvel with a bi-directional winding system, a 72-hour power reserve, and a refined aesthetic of anthracite bridges and clean restraint. Red gold rotor in the luxe version, tungsten in the steel. Because of course.

The time is told via three satellite hour discs, each orbiting a skeletonised central minutes wheel, visible through a see-through case back and housed under a curved sapphire dome. It's part art installation, part machine. A watch that doesn’t just tell time—it performs it.

Water-resistant to 12 ATM, strapped in rubber, and ready for adventure, the Pioneer Flying Hours isn’t just a watch—it’s a mechanical meditation on independence, innovation, and the sheer audacity of time well told. H. Moser & Cie. doesn’t just make watches. They craft moments in motion.

Welcome to time, reimagined.
