Swiss high-end independent brand H. Moser & Cie. always manages to inject just the right amount of irreverence into its watches without crossing over into kitsch. Take the new Pioneer Centre Seconds Sunny-Side Up, for example: A proper sport watch with 120m of water resistance, automatic winding, and a white rubber strap, it features a decidedly upscale yellow fumé dial that, in the brand’s own words, “gleams like a sun-kissed yolk.” (We wouldn’t disagree.) Outfitted with the in-house cal. HMC 201 with a three-day power reserve and bi-directional pawl winding system, it manages to marry a pocket watch-inspired silhouette with modern conveniences — all without taking itself too seriously.
