H. Moser x Alpine Motorsport’s New Streamliner Is Built for the F1 Paddock

While watches have served all walks of life, from GMTs built for jet-setters to dive watches for nautical adventures, they’ve also shared a deep-rooted connection with motorsports, linking time and precision to the excitement of racing. Nobody understands this more than the watchmakers at H. Moser & Cie., who’ve proudly celebrated their fuel-driven partnership with Alpine Motorsports since 2024. Rather than simply stamping a logo on the dial and calling it a collaboration, the two brands combined their expertise, technical requirements, and vision to create purposeful pieces built for life in the paddock. That story continues, as H. Moser recently revealed the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Ceramic Alpine Limited Edition during Geneva Watch Days. For the third watch to emerge from the H. Moser & Cie. and Alpine Motorsports partnership, the focus shifts from traditional precious metals to a 40mm anthracite grey ceramic case, giving the watch a distinct look that feels right at home alongside an Alpine Formula 1 car. Ceramic also makes plenty of sense, being lightweight and highly scratch-resistant, maintaining its appearance over time. A blue integrated Alcantara strap completes the motorsport-inspired look without going overboard.Flip the watch over, and the skeletonized HMC 814 movement takes center stage behind a sapphire crystal caseback. With nothing hiding the mechanics, the blue-finished bridges and main plate contrast against the anthracite ceramic, while the openworked barrel showcases the craftsmanship of H. Moser’s watchmakers. Even the hour markers and three-dimensional hands bring something different to the table, using Globolight with Super-LumiNova for easy nighttime legibility. It is a familiar Moser approach of stripping away the unnecessary and letting the movement do most of the talking.Then there’s the part that makes this much more than just another skeletonized luxury watch. Sitting prominently at 6 o’clock is a one-minute flying double hairspring tourbillon, developed and produced in-house by Precision Engineering AG. The double hairspring is designed to compensate for changes in the center of gravity as the springs expand and contract, helping improve precision. Beneath the motorsport-inspired styling is serious mechanical engineering, bringing together ceramic, openworked architecture, and expert-level Swiss watchmaking in a series limited to just 50 pieces.

Girard-Perregaux and Williams F1 Announce their New Partnership

Girard-Perregaux and Williams F1 Announce their New Partnership

Formula 1 partnerships tend to focus on the obvious stuff, like logos, hospitality, limited-edition watches and plenty of time in the paddock. Swiss watchmaker Girard-Perregaux and Atlassian Williams F1 Team are taking a slightly different route with their new partnership announcement. There’s no need to force a connection between the two, either, as both brands pride themselves on learning how to make complicated things work better every day. Instead of just putting two recognizable names together, the partnership is built around what happens behind the scenes before anyone sees the finished product. That makes the connection between watches and Formula 1 pretty easy to understand. A mechanical watch can look simple at first glance, but getting everything inside the case to work precisely requires countless hours of R&D, improvements, and testing. The same goes for an F1 car. A race weekend might be defined by qualifying positions and lap times, but those results are shaped by thousands of decisions made long before the car rolls onto the grid. Engineers, mechanics, drivers and countless members of the team are constantly analyzing data, making changes and repeating the process. The human side is where this partnership gets more interesting. Girard-Perregaux and Williams recognize that technology is only part of the equation. That idea is especially relevant in mechanical watchmaking, where traditional skills are passed from one generation of watchmakers to the next, and in motorsport, where years of experience can make the difference when something needs to be solved quickly. Girard-Perregaux has a long history in Swiss watchmaking, while Williams brings decades of Formula 1 experience, and both operate in industries where performance depends on consistency and attention to detail. There will be opportunities for watches, paddock appearances, and other activations as part of the collaboration, but the more interesting story may be what happens away from the spotlight. Whether it is a watchmaker refining a movement or a Williams engineer searching for another fraction of a second, the goal is essentially the same: do the work properly, keep learning, and let the finished result speak for itself.

IWC Schaffhausen Kicks Off Miami Grand Prix Weekend with Kimi Antonelli

When Formula One weekend arrives in Miami, it flips a switch. Even days before cars hit the track for practice and qualifying, the city is already in full-blown festivities, and IWC Schaffhausen wasted no time joining in on the party. The brand hosted a small, early-week event in the Miami Design District, welcoming clients, locals, and other industry insiders. The special guest of the evening was Kimi Antonelli, the current championship leader for Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One, and one of the youngest drivers now carrying big expectations.The night was calm and cool. No theatrics or overpacked guest list, just Antonelli in conversation, talking about how quickly things have ramped up this season. He spoke about adjusting to the pace of Formula 1, managing pressure, and the constant balance between speed and consistency. A star-struck moment for most, it seemed more like a much-needed midweek check-in for Kimi before a busy race weekend. The night also celebrated the broader IWC–Mercedes relationship, which has been in place for over a decade and focuses on shared engineering DNA rather than brand-stamped dials.Around the room, a collection of IWC’s latest releases, fresh off their Geneva debut, was on display, giving guests a first look at pieces that pave the way for the brand's future. The lineup showcased aviation-inspired designs, updated movements, and functionality that mirrors the precision mindset of Formula 1. The room moved between conversations about lap times, travel schedules, and watchmaking, with little separation between the two. It was a low-key start to what will be a very exciting race weekend in Miami. Source: IWC Schaffhausen

Richard Mille Celebrates The Le Mans Classic With Its New...

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is one of the most legendary events in motorsports history. Since 1923, this grueling endurance race has pushed drivers and race cars to their absolute limits, with competitors flying around the Circuit de la Sarthe for a full day straight. It's a proving ground for performance, precision, and staying power, which is probably why the luxury watch world has always been drawn to it. Created in 2002 by Peter Auto, in association with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, Le Mans Classic offers a fantastic retrospective of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. During four days of festivities, Enthusiasts and fans will be able to travel back in time, with an appearance from almost 700 racing cars and over 8,000 classic cars. Continuing its tradition that dates back to 2008, Richard Mille is proud to honor the Le Mans Classic with the release of its new, limited-edition RM 30-01 LMC. Limited to 150 pieces, the special edition RM 30-01 reflects the spirit of endurance racing with a design steeped in Le Mans heritage. The green and white color scheme, synonymous with the event since its inception, is carried through the Green Quartz TPT caseband, racing-vented green rubber strap, and signature detailing, most notably the checkered flag framing the oversized date window and the Le Mans Classic logo etched into the sapphire crystal caseback. Powered by the skeletonized Calibre RMAR2, the movement has been reworked to include a 24-hour counter, marked by a green "16" at the top as a nod to the race's 4 PM start. The movement also features a power reserve indicator, clutch engagement display, and a function selector, all integrated into a reimagined dial that draws subtle inspiration from the curves and flow of a racetrack. Titanium bridges and the signature openwork architecture enhance the mechanical complexity, allowing each complication to shine through with clarity and purpose. It's a watch that speaks to motorsport fans and collectors who appreciate a timepiece where form and function pay equal tribute to history. " width="680"> Source: Richard Mille

H. Moser x Alpine F1 Kick Off Miami GP Weekend With A New...

Establishing a fuel-driven partnership in a rather non-conventional way, the haute horologists at H. Moser & Cie. were approached by Alpine F1 to engineer a timepiece that perfectly balances luxury and performance. The result of this mastermind plan takes shape as the first Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine Limited Edition, which debuted a couple of weeks ago in a vibrant blue colorway. In celebration of Formula 1 taking over sunny South Florida for the 3rd annual Miami Grand Prix, H. Moser x Alpine F1 is proud to present an exclusive new pink Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine that gives off serious South Beach vibes. The signature bright, vivid pink from BWT, is designed to catch eyes around every turn. What makes it even more special? Only 20 pieces are up for grabs, making this a true collector's item for both watch collectors and Formula 1 race fans. This special edition Streamliner Tourbillon stands out with a skeletonized dial at 12 o'clock, crowned with a dome-shaped synthetic corundum dial that mirrors the curvature of its sapphire crystal. The synthetic ruby is an ultra-clear, intensely-hued gem that elevates the look to a whole new level. The Streamliner comes packed with high-performance features like Super-Luminova indices and Globolight inserts on the hands for unbeatable night-time legibility. Comfort meets high fashion in its pink molded rubber strap that mimics a classy textile finish, which looks just as good as it feels on your wrist. Ticking inside is the meticulously skeletonized automatic in-house HMC 811 movement, visible from both sides of the watch. The highlight is its spectacular one-minute flying tourbillon with a cylindrical balance spring that’s become a rarity in modern watchmaking. Along with the limited series, an additional unique piece will be auctioned with all proceeds going to AQUA PEARLS, a charity focused on providing clean drinking water globally.
