Bucherer are one of the largest and most prestigious watch retailers in the world so it’s little surprise that they’ve done their fair share of exclusive collaborations over the years. In fact, they’re so well known for it that they’ve got entire multi-brand subcollections known as Bucherer BLUE editions. However, for their latest exclusive collaboration, blue is out. In its place we have the H. Moser & Cie. Bucherer Exclusive Amber-Sand series.
There are three watches in the series, a Pioneer Tourbillon, a Pioneer Centre Seconds and an Endeavour Minute Repeater. While each of them feature individual differences such as the complications they’re equipped with as well as the size and styles of the cases, they are all unified by the colours of their dials. A pale brown tone being called amber-sand.
All three dials feature Moser’s signature frosted texture with a fumé gradient, which really accentuates the smoky appearance of the dial. The H. Moser & Cie Bucherer Exclusive Endeavour Minute Repeater takes that a step further by having its dial produced in Grand Feu enamel, an extremely difficult material to work with especially with such a detailed and textured surface. The inspiration for the colour comes from faded sepia photographs in H. Moser’s HQ – although to me the result is more like a peach, but that might be because I have passion fruit on the mind.
In terms of availability, all three watches are exclusively available from Bucherer in limited editions. The H. Moser & Cie. Bucherer Exclusive Pioneer Tourbillon is limited to 18 pieces at €63,200 (approx. £53,000), the Pioneer Centre Seconds is limited to 88 pieces at €15,900 (approx. £13,350) and the Endeavour Minute Repeater is a unique piece at €395,000 (approx. £331,500). If you’re a fan of H. Moser’s watches and want a cool, exclusive colourway, the amber-sand series should be your grail.
