Moser Unveils Limited Edition Duo In Collaboration With Alpine Motorsports
This is indeed an unconventional collaboration with two very different watches - Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition, a high horology piece, and Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition, a purpose-built smart watch.
The Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition is a mechanical chronograph that is meant to represent the spirit of Alpine racing. Designed in consultation with Alpine drivers, this watch features a skeletonized dial. The aesthetic choices, including bold PVD blue and white color evoke the aggressiveness of need for speed, and align with Alpine's branding.
The design elements draw inspiration from the racetrack. According to Moser, V-shaped bridges visible through the dial pay homage to the triangulated suspensions of single-seater cars, while the central bridge mimics the shape of a driver's helmet.
Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition is powered by impressive HMC 700 automatic skeleton movement, developed in collaboration with Agenhor. It features a Flyback function, allowing for instantaneous resetting of the chronograph—a crucial feature in the fast-paced world of Formula 1 racing, 72-hours of power reserve, and skeletonized tungsten oscillating weight.
While Moser is known for technically advanced watches with eye-catching dials, the partnership with Alpine is taking them down the path of 'hyper watches' as we are accustomed to see from Roger Dubuis and Richard Mille. And Streamliner is good platform for Moser to build such hyper watch that has plenty of real estate (42.3mm x 14.2mm) for more complex movements and skeletonization.
Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition comes with an integrated white rubber strap and is limited to 200 pieces.
The second piece from Moser, Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition, is even more of a surprising announcement. Drivers Edition is purpose built for the engineers and mechanics to enhance communication and efficiency within the team, ensuring that every second counts during a race.
This unique piece infuses technology with classic watchmaking. The watch features a silent black screen that activates with a simple touch, providing basic information such as GMT, split-seconds chronograph, and a perpetual calendar. However, the F1 mode includes countdowns to race starts and notifications for key moments throughout the season, making it an indispensable tool for the team and for the fans of the Alpine team.
The Mechanics Edition has the familiar Streamliner case with a Funky Blue fumé dial. The watch is compatible with both Android and iOS devices, syncing via Bluetooth to provide real-time updates. With a power reserve of up to one year in time-only mode, this watch is engineered for longevity, standing out from other smart watches.
The Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition comes with a blue rubber strap, matching the blue fumé dial. The watch is limited to 500 pieces.
A note on how to purchase the watches: Moser explained that the watches are sold as a set that is limited to 200 pieces and the retail price is USD 70,000. However, if someone purchased 2024 Cylindrical Tourbillon Alpine, they could order the Mechanics Edition.

This Rookie Driver Started With a Crash, Then Got Everyone's Attention
The first half of Isack Hadjar's rookie Formula 1 season with Racing Bulls has been bookended by accidents. His debut, in Australia, ended before it began. He spun into the wall on the formation lap in wet conditions and tearily trudged back to the paddock, where he was consoled by Anthony Hamilton, the father of Lewis Hamilton, the English driver. At the last race, in England, Hadjar was one of many caught out in the rain and crashed. In between, Hadjar, 20, has captured attention. 'I think Isack's performances have been nothing less than sensational,' Laurent Mekies, the team principal of Red Bull, said in an interview in July, when he was the team principal of Racing Bulls. Hadjar is 11th in the championship standings and has scored points five times. That included an eighth-place finish on his first visit to the challenging Suzuka Circuit in Japan and a sixth-place result in Monaco, where he finished as the lead driver outside the top teams. He also, according to Mekies, 'killed the midfield' in Spain, in a race that 'required experience to manage tires in hot conditions,' finishing seventh. 'He had done extremely little F1 testing before the race season,' Mekies said. 'So to put everything together in Melbourne — first Grand Prix, first qualifying, he was half a tenth from the top 10 — that was outstanding already. Yes, Sunday happened, and the famous formation lap, but then China, seventh on the grid, so at that stage, he's largely exceeding expectations.' Hadjar was the final driver confirmed for 2025. Last year, he won four Formula 2 races, though he missed out on the title, which was won by Gabriel Bortoleto, now of Sauber. The result capped a journey that began in the suburbs of Paris, when Hadjar was drawn to motorsport through the movie 'Cars,' his father watching Formula 1 races and the documentary 'Senna,' about the life and death of the Brazilian motor racing champion Ayrton Senna.
