Hello everyone, I’ve been looking at both the Singer Tract 1 one and the Moser Chrono on the bracelet, both use the same movement but are completely different in their functions and look. I love the fact that both watches are central Chronographs. The Moser having jumping seconds and minutes and a 60 minute Chrono counter while the Singer has jumping minutes and hours with a unbelievable and probably not very useful, 60 hour counter.

I’m looking at the Singer Emirates titanium with Black DVD/gold accents with a wonderful green dial and strap with matching gold rings. The Moser of course has the Fume blue dial and it’s on the bracelet. The Singer has a unique moving outer rings for the time that you read at six on the dial bottom while the chronograph dominates the center, while clean looking it’s still has quite a bit going on while the Moser is just very clean. One other obscure but important difference is the Singer has super lume on the outside rings with the time but nothing on the Chrono while the Moser Chrono lights up and you can see it all at night very well. Prices are pretty close, $50K for the Singer $39K fot the Moser but I can get a discount on the singer to bring those prices close to equal.

The singer is definitely going to be a more unusual watch and only 25 made of the Ekmirates, I believe the London edition has 50 made and other ones have various amounts along those same figures. The London addition is available also if anyone has comments about that particular model. Your comments and input would be greatly appreciated...Jim

Key Points from the Discussion

The Fabergé Visionnaire Chronograph also utilizes the AgenGraphe movement, offering a 24-hour chronograph with jumping minutes and hours, and a more traditional time display using triangular arrows. It presents a middle ground in terms of time display emphasis compared to Singer and Moser.
While the Fabergé Visionnaire Chronograph emphasizes the chronograph, its triangular hands for time are more visible than the Singer's peripheral dial. Aesthetically, it's considered more angular, and despite being a storied brand, its core product, like the Imperial Eggs, is produced in very limited numbers.
The Moser Streamliner features conventional hour and minute hands, whereas the Singer Track1 uses a peripheral reading for time, making the chronograph the dominant visual element. The Ming 20.01 is another notable watch utilizing the AgenGraphe movement, with a wider release of its chronograph anticipated.
Given the advanced nature of the AgenGraphe movement, particularly its rotor under the dial and state-of-the-art clutch, transparency regarding servicing and repairs from brands like Singer and Ming is crucial for collectors.
The Singer Track1, being a newer market entrant, is more readily available than the hard-to-get Moser Streamliner. The author's personal preference leans towards the Singer's unique aesthetics, including its green dial and gold accents, despite owning other Moser watches.
The 60-hour chronograph counter on the Singer Track1 is viewed as a less practical feature compared to the 60-minute or 24-hour chronographs found in the Moser and Fabergé, respectively.

For me personally, there’s no competition between those two.

The Moser wins by a huge margin. The Singer is just not my taste. Best, V.

@berti moser is definitely established and high-quality.

Singer of course is very much new to the market and the reason they haven’t all sold out while the Moser is hard to get. I happen to own a Porsche 992 which has only a little bit of influence and personally I like the look of the DVD, yellow accents and green dial on the Singer, i’m not much of a bracelet guy but from everything I read the Moser is a very comfortable watch. A tougher choice for me than some of you… Jim

Well V there’s certainly no doubt about your opinion :-)

Well V there’s certainly no doubt about your opinion , it’s funny I show my wife both these watches and she is very adamant she likes the Singer better but of course she doesn’t truly understand the inner-workings, history and the differences, she’s just going by looks… Jim

The black gold is more luxurious yet sporty

More warmth and feminine
