H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Retrograde Seconds Midnight Blue

The Pioneer Retrograde Seconds comes with a spectacular complication housed inside a sporty, sophisticated design. At its heart is a striking 30-second retrograde mechanism, positioned at 6 o’clock. Every half minute, the hand swiftly returns to its starting position. The timepiece pairs playful innovation with signature minimalism, featuring a transparent logo on a Midnight Blue fumé dial. The transparency of the mechanism is the real star, offering a visual experience unlike anything else.

Movement

The HMC 250 automatic movement, based on our HMC 201 base calibre, is coupled with a module designed by our partner Agenhor SA, who have made retrograde mechanisms one of their specialties.

Functions

Instead of a traditional seconds hand that rotates once every 60 seconds, the retrograde seconds mechanism follows an arc and resets every 30 seconds, with the seconds hand swiftly returning to its starting position.

Highlight

With a design that is inspired by measuring instruments and speedometers, the open retrograde mechanism is a standout feature. Completing its journey every 30 seconds, it offers an exciting kinetic and choreographic spectacle.
