The second of three limited-edition timepieces in H. Moser’s “Genesis” series succeeds the 2022’s innovative, blockchain-supported Endeavour Centre Seconds with a “return to matter” that is “anchored firmly in the tangible.” The mission statement of the Streamliner Genesis 2 may have been the original intention, or H. Moser may have determined that bitcoin technology need not be incorporated into every consumer product.

The watch is undeniably more straightforward in concept and design than its predecessor, which included a sapphire crystal QR code enabling owners to access H. Moser’s “dedicated digital and virtual ecosystem” for purchasing select future limited editions, enjoying membership benefits, and receiving exclusive invitations to brand launch events.

The second act of the H. Moser Genesis trilogy showcases a stainless steel bracelet with flowing links that maintains the distinctive characteristics and finishes of the Streamliner collection, while gently alluding to the watch that initiated the collection. The dial is once more characterised by Vantablack, which absorbs approximately 100 percent of all light waves as the darkest synthetic material yet produced. The hour and minute hands are adorned with Globolight inlays, a blend of Super-LumiNova pigment and ceramic. Upon meticulous examination, irregular, pixelated shapes are discernible embellishing the hands and 3D-printed crown—references to the designs present on the original Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis’s casing, bezel, and crown.

To maintain the uniqueness of the Genesis trilogy, the Streamliner Genesis 2 will be accessible solely to the 50 proprietors of the Endeavour Centre Seconds Genesis. H. Moser is manufacturing 100 units of the Streamliner Genesis 2, allowing customers to obtain two—one for themselves and one for a family member or friend.

The price of each H. Moser Streamliner Genesis 2 is around $37,400.
