Two worlds that could not be more different, one from the blockchain and anime culture that others have been rooted in centuries of the Swiss hearing have collided to create something really original. The elements of the time series, a collaboration between Azuki and H. Moser & Cie. Azuki, the web3-native brand, has built its reputation on a mixture of streetwear aesthetics, anime-inspired storytelling and commitment to the technical age. It is a brand that builds worlds where collectors are fellow. Each publication is an event, every design is a piece of an expanding universe.
H. Moser & Cie. On the other hand, a rare breed in Swiss watchmaking is: violently independent, masterfully traditionally in their craftsmanship, but with a strand of disrespect, which gave us watches from cheese, riffs on Apple watches and thus minimally stripped dials. Moser dominated the art of serious watchmaking without ever taking too seriously.
The elements of the time collection distill the creative side of both brands into a set of eight watches that merge the depth of narrative and the mechanical precision. Inspired by the four elementary domains from Azukis Elemental's NFT series, fire, earth, water and flash, every domain is represented by two models: a pioneer tourbillon and a Pioneer Center.
Story counting is done on the dials, since a tailor -made Guilloché pattern is engraved and is shaped in such a way that it causes the essence of its element: fiery flames, wave waves, tectonic tectic textures or jagged electrical impulses. Light plays over the pattern with depth and even drama and creates a link to Azuki's illustrated worlds.
The Pioneer Tourbillon models present the flying tourbillon at 6 a.m., which is framed by the Elemental dial motif. The Pioneer Center versions focus on a clean time display, while they keep the same hypnotic Guilloché textures. Both are located in Moser's sports luxury pioneer of Moser, water-resistant up to 120 m, with a robust but sophisticated presence on the wrist. And for this azuki theme collection, the pioneer receives a rotating bezel, as can be seen on the collective horology models.
In real Moser mode, movements have ended to Hagen, which are visible through sapphire fallbacks, be it the complex mechanics of the tourbillon or the elegant simplicity of the three-hand caliber. And every model is limited in the true Azuki type: only 24 parts of each middle seconds per element and similar rare runs on the tourbillons. The prices are defined USD 25,000 For the Pioneer Center seconds and USD 75,000 For the Pioneer Tourbillon. You can find more information at h-moser.azuki.com.
