Studio Underd0g, a British watch brand known for its vibrant and unserious approach to design, has partnered up with independent Haute Horologerie Manufacture, H. Moser & Cie. for a collaboration. Unveiling at Geneva Watch Days, the two brands present a duo of vibrant horological creations in a passion fruit-inspired color scheme.
Based on H. Moser’s iconic model, the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit embodies a bold and lively mood that’s powered by its acid hues. Housed in a 42mm-sized steel case, the main dial features a sunburst pattern enriched in purple lacquer. This is contrasted with its Grand Feu and hammered enamel secondary dial, which is built on an 18-carat yellow gold base and finished in a maracuja fumé. Beating at its core is the 7-day-power-reserve HMC 800 Manufacture caliber, a stunning movement that can be admired through the open caseback.
The other timepiece, Studio Underd0g 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit, sports a slimmer profile, measuring 38.5mm in diameter and 13.6mm in thickness. Contrasting its sleek stainless steel case, the dial stars a Coarse Dégradé amber-color dial against a royal purple base in a radial brushed finish. This is powered by a hand-wound Sellita SW510 M movement, complete with a hand-stitched black calfskin leather strap.
Edouard Meylan, H. Moser’s CEO explains that this “collaboration is fuelled by a shared passion — a passion for crafting timepieces that are not just functional, but truly artistic. 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." Limited to 100 examples, the time-tellers are only available as a set and boast a retail price tag of $64,900 USD.
