This watch is strange on three different levels.
First, you can call it the mechanical Apple Watch because of the striking
resemblance. Next is its name which is weird and long – H.Moser Swiss Alp Watch
Zzzz. Then you can gape at its US$ 26,900 insane price tag.
For those into luxury mechanical watches, the name
H. Moser should be familiar. The watch making family business was founded in
1828 and started with making pocket watches before moving on to wristwatches.
One of its latest watches is the Swiss Alp Watch Zzzz which looks just like the
Apple Watch.
The watch is totally
built by hand. It has a white gold rectangle face with rounded edges that
measures 38.2 mm × 44 mm and is 10.3 mm thick. Its all-black dial gives off a look
akin to a display but matches well with its white-gold hands. There is a
hand-wound HMC 324 movement inside and a caliber with a 4-day power reserve
that can be recharged by hand.
If you don’t like the too-serious looking Swiss Alp
Watch Zzzz, H. Moser has the Swiss Alp Watch Brrr that sports a Blue fumé dial
but retains the white gold case. Only twenty units will be made for each of the
watches. If you have US$ 26,900 just sitting in your account doing nothing, you
can head to the official H. Moser site and find out how to get your hands on a
unit.ch Zzz
