An ode to minimalism
Red gold Endeavour Centre Seconds Vantablack, left, and Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Vantablack.

Uncluttered dials allow H. Moser & Cie. to immaculately boast its signature fumé in beautiful shades of blue, red, green and even smoked salmon.

Conjuring the darkest dial, the independent watchmaker draws upon the extraordinary properties of Vantablack -- the blackest black on Earth.

Used in astrophysics, military camouflage and stealth equipment, the innovative material composed of carbon nanostructures absorbs 99.9% of light when hit by a photon.

As our eyes require reflected light to perceive what we see, it seems like a black hole and this creates the sensation of staring into deep space.

The absolute black entrancingly contrasts with radiant red gold on two new 40mm Endeavour watches.

A one-minute flying tourbillon literally floats at 6 o'clock on the abyss of the Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Vantablack.

The dial is simply graced by leaf-shaped hour and minute hands. Without reflection, indices or logo by way of distraction, this model is H. Moser & Cie.'s ode to minimalism.

The Endeavour Centre Seconds Vantablack features red gold indices as a technical feat, as if piercing the dial with the pitch-dark coating.

These two new models reinforce how the Swiss brand's luxury product is immediately identifiable, even without a visible logo.

Mechanically, both of them provide a power reserve of three days thanks to self-winding movements.

The precision of the tourbillon timepiece is ensured by HMC 804 with a patented double hairspring while the classic three-hand watch is equipped with HMC 200, whose regulating organ is manufactured by Precision Engineering AG, the sister company of H. Moser & Cie.
