Swiss watchmaker H. Moser & Cie has officially opened its first U.S. boutique at The Villa Menlo Park in California. This milestone marks a significant expansion for the independent brand, which has gained a dedicated following among collectors for its minimalist aesthetic and technical ingenuity.
Located at 500 El Camino Real, the boutique is presented in partnership with Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry, a name synonymous with fine craftsmanship and independent watchmaking.
Edouard Meylan, H. Moser & CEO, said, “The opening of our boutique in the San Francisco Bay Area marks a key milestone in our international development strategy. This iconic region, synonymous with innovation and creativity, perfectly embodies the values that drive H. Moser & Cie.: boldness, a pioneering spirit, and a passion for artisanal excellence.”
To celebrate its U.S. retail debut, H. Moser & Cie has unveiled a boutique-exclusive edition of the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton, a limited release of just seventeen pieces worldwide. This yellow gold timepiece shows the Streamliner collection’s fluid design. Every non-essential element has been removed, leaving behind a mechanism of striking depth and symmetry.
One of the standout features of the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton is its one-minute flying tourbillon, powered by the in-house caliber HMC 814 with a Straumann double hairspring. This movement reduces friction and enhances precision, a hallmark of H. Moser & Cie’s commitment to both aesthetics and performance.
Staying true to H. Moser & Cie.’s philosophy of “remove to better reveal,” every component has been skeletonized to highlight the intricate beauty of the mechanism. Meticulous attention to symmetry ensures a balanced aesthetic, while minimalist finishes, including anthracite main plate and bridges with precise beveling, add a modern touch.
The 40mm cushion case and integrated bracelet, crafted entirely from yellow gold, maintain the ergonomic curves that define the Streamliner collection, ensuring both comfort and visual harmony.
Jared Silver, President of Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry said, “We could not be happier than to have the presence of H. Moser & Cie. at The Villa Menlo Park. The brand is one of the most important forces in modern watch design and a flag bearer for independent watchmaking. H. Moser is rapidly growing its base of collectors in Silicon Valley, and now they will have an immersive home to experience the many different aspects of the company.” The Villa Menlo Park is also home to the recently opened MB&F Lab boutique.
Moser & Cie’s Menlo Park boutique is now open to the public and available for private appointments.
