Enter Vantablack, a super-black coating that absorbs almost all light and is the world’s darkest man-made substance. Recently, he wanted to make a new black dial, but it needed to be special. While he respects the more serious aspects of his watchmaking, like being truly made in Switzerland, remaining independent and family-owned, and upholding total dedication to in-house movements, Meylan is not afraid to turn tradition on its head. While many brands look to the past, few transform the traditional into something modern in the same way, which he calls creating tension between them. Meylan proudly says, “What was maybe less than five percent of our business has become 95 percent of our business.”Ī selection of H Moser & Cie’s finest watches The eye-catching pops of color and rustic, hand-stitched kudo leather strap shook the dust off of a classic dial, and collectors took notice. In the 2000s, H Moser revived the fumé dial, and when Meylan joined, he reinvigorated it further by using wild colors with silly names, like Funky Blue. But over the years, they fell out of fashion as they felt dated and stuffy. In addition to its subtlety, the simple design showcases a bewitching signature: the fumé dial. They can listen to it whenever they want,” he says. “It’s the absence of the pressure of time. It doesn’t have hands, so the only way to tell time is to activate the repeater and listen to the sing-song chiming. This year, he took this combination of “ingenuity and minimalism” even further with his favorite complication, the minute repeater. Meylan explains this approach by saying, “Everybody is trying to say ‘the more I put on the dial, the higher the price tag.’ We believe in the opposite.” The quietness, the mystery of this watch is an absolute luxury.
Here, there’s just a simple date aperture and a shorthand to indicate the months, and the leap-year cycle is only visible on the caseback. Most brands include as much information as possible on the dial of a perpetual calendar, resulting in several subdials, as well as the red number four that indicates the leap-year cycle (and lets everyone know you are wearing a perpetual calendar). Perhaps the most surprising of all is the Endeavor Concept Perpetual Calendar.
