H. Moser & Cie. and Studio Underd0g, known for their unique approaches to watchmaking, have unveiled a new collaborative project. This partnership introduces two exclusive timepieces—the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit by H. Moser & Cie. and the 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit by Studio Underd0g. Both pieces are crafted with a focus on creativity, craftsmanship, and a shared passion for horology.
The Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit
The Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit showcases H. Moser & Cie.’s hallmark of minimalism combined with technical sophistication. The watch features a steel case with a diameter of 42.0 mm and a height of 12.8 mm. It also includes a curved sapphire crystal. The dial presents a striking contrast with its combination of a purple lacquered sunburst and Maracuja fumé enamel in “Grand Feu” on an 18-carat yellow gold base. The watch uses the HMC 800 Manufacture calibre, a hand-wound movement recognized for its precision and reliability. This calibre, with a diameter of 34.0 mm and a height of 6.3 mm, operates at 18,000 vibrations per hour and contains 32 jewels. It includes a double barrel, ensuring a power reserve of at least seven days. The perpetual calendar function, which includes a big date display and a central hand for the month indicator, enhances its functionality.
Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie., remarks on the collaboration: “Our collaboration is fuelled by a shared passion—a passion for crafting timepieces that are not just functional, but truly artistic.” He adds, “Together with Studio Underd0g, we’ve embarked on a journey to celebrate the beauty and joy of horology, creating a fun and unforgettable experience for collectors“.
The 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit
Studio Underd0g’s 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit combines bold aesthetics with a refined design. The case, made from 316L stainless steel, has a diameter of 38.5 mm and a height of 13.6 mm, slightly smaller than its counterpart. The dial features a Coarse Dégradé Amber upper section and a Royal Purple radial brushed lower section. It also includes pencil-shaped hands and chronograph hands accented with green tips. The watch uses the Sellita SW510 M movement, a hand-wound calibre with a diameter of 30.0 mm and a height of 7.0 mm, running at 28,800 vibrations per hour. This mono-pusher chronograph includes a 60-second counter via a central hand and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. Additionally, it has a small seconds dial at 9 o’clock.
Richard Benc, founder and CEO of Studio Underd0g, shared his enthusiasm about this first-ever partnership: “We are thrilled to work with H. Moser & Cie. on this milestone collaboration. By leaning into our shared values, we have been able to create something truly exceptional“.
Craftsmanship and Design
This collaboration limits the production of each watch to 100 pieces, emphasizing their exclusivity. The Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit stands out with bold, acid colors and meticulous craftsmanship. A subtle green accent on the small arrow-shaped center hand symbolizes the passion found in every watch enthusiast. Similarly, the 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit design reflects Studio Underd0g’s philosophy by blending meticulous design with playful elements.
