H. Moser & Cie: Streamliner Genesis 2

There are stories that unfold in crescendo. The Genesis trilogy is one of them. In 2022, H. Moser & Cie. broke new ground in the world of watchmaking with a radical project blending the physical, the digital, and the virtual: the Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis, a timepiece at the crossroads of traditional horology and Web3. It was more a declaration of intent than a mere product. 

Today, with the Streamliner Genesis 2, the Manufacture takes another path, the path of reality. Raw. Absolute. It trades speed for substance, rooting its vision in matter itself. The Streamliner Genesis 2 is not an echo; it is a breath. A pivotal piece, set between the first spark and the conclusion yet to come. 

ACT I: ENDEAVOUR CENTRE SECONDS GENESIS

The Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis was far more than a watch; it introduced a new language, a new way of telling the story of watchmaking. For the first time, a centuries-old brand crossed the digital mirror and reached into the world of Web3, turning this undefined territory into a true field of experimentation. The object carried a manifesto within it. Blockchain technology was no gimmick, but an authentication key ensuring transparency and traceability. The NFTs were not digital curiosities, they were an extension of the timepiece itself, a signature anchored in a world that most were still only observing from afar. 

Launched in 2022, the Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis made an impression. The industry took notice, the press relayed the story, and the public debated it. A polarizing creation, it divided opinion, yet above all, it opened a dialogue between two worlds that had long ignored each other. That audacity shaped its legend: a rare watch, now sought-after, and a symbol of the moment when tradition agreed to be disrupted. 

ACT II: STREAMLINER GENESIS 2

If the Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis looked toward the invisible networks of blockchain, the Streamliner Genesis 2, second chapter of the trilogy, anchors itself firmly in the tangible. It returns to the palpable, to what the hand can touch, to what the light can graze. It carries a quiet gravity, the kind possessed by objects that have nothing to prove yet much to say. Its 40mm steel cushion-shaped case, sculpted with precision, embraces the wrist with confidence. The integrated bracelet, with its fluid links, continues the signature codes and finishes of the Streamliner collection. On the dial, Vantablack devours light, absorbing 99.965% of it. This absolute black, the darkest material ever created, exalts the hour and minute hands topped with Globolight inserts. Their pixelated aspect echoes the bezel and crown of the first Genesis, now reinterpreted in a softer, more introspective register. 

The pixelated crown, crafted in 3D-printed titanium, also recalls the 2022 model and its tactile beauty. Yet where the first Genesis opened a portal to the virtual, the Streamliner Genesis 2 translates that idea into physical form. It does not promise a parallel world — it anchors imagination in steel. 

A RARE TRILOGY 

The Genesis saga is not a sequence of models; it is a narrative conceived as a trilogy. The first act opened the breach, the second builds the structure, the third will close the circle. Owning a Genesis means owning a collector’s piece, while belonging to a rare community. Owning all three means gathering an entire story. Each chapter feeds on the one before it, without ever repeating it. Where the Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis projected the brand into a digital future, the Streamliner Genesis 2 is a sculpture of the tangible present. Together, they create a narrative tension that will culminate in the third chapter, to be revealed in a year’s time: the synthesis of two worlds, the final piece of the triptych. 

In the world of watchmaking, few collections are conceived not as product series but as dramatic works. Genesis is one of them. To preserve the intimate spirit of this trilogy, the Streamliner Genesis 2 will be limited to only 100 pieces and available exclusively to the fifty owners of the Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis, each of whom will have the privilege to extend this story to one person of their choice — a friend, a family member, a kindred spirit. An invitation, passed from hand to hand, to join the circle. (Price CHF 29,900)
