Per their Instagram post: a limited edition of 100 pieces that revisits H. Moser & Cie.’s earliest chronographs through a contemporary lens: This collaborative piece is housed in a 41mm steel case: It has their signature Funky Blue fumé dial: It’s pow...  

You mentioned the price point, what is the proposed retail

Just came from the Blancpain boutique and met a Moser streamliner wearer talking about this new release. I mentioned it looked just like the air command and both looked at me like I was an alien, what's the air command?, and kept talking. I guess moser wi... 

Ok, small stuff like lugs... that maybe only guys like me totally geek over ;em (keep in mind I have five books filled with timepiece straps of all types, so colour me crazy there   . Very much am admiring the overall design and balance. H. Moser vide... 

Was just talking to a watchmaker about this in the local group I'm in, and he mentioned they are a complete PITA. The design is nice here, but I think I'd rather just buy a Breitling.

The case design (scalloped lugs) seems reminiscent of some Patek cases. But it might belong to H. Moser too (I don't know enough).

With two small provisos - at this price point I would prefer an integrated movement, which should hopefully be a tad thinner, bringing the overall thickness down a bit. But the dial definitely looks nice and the typical Moser case scalloping has been main... 

I fear that this would prevent frequent wear…

Manual wind would have been cool.

...but a bit fat for me. Put manually-wound movements into these watches. If you're going for retro, that is historically accurate. And it would be thinner.

with a dozen-modul for a crazy price. I am very dissapointed, man can expect at least an integrated column wheel chronograph from Moser for this price! Yours, Adam

But this 1858 is much better, for the same price. ...  

Somehow, this collaboration between Moser and Massena reminds me of the Patek 5070, which is also one of Massena's favourite chronographs. Does it make me wonder if there was a lack of imagination?

Massena just makes remakes... or variants of remakes... I don't get it. I get the appreciation and love of the originals that these watches are inspired by... of course... but if it is not the brand itself offering a re-issue or an update on their own cla... 

I can imagine how bad the finshing is, anyway it is invisible.

I mean, a DD Chrono Module at this price point? I never thought Moser would pull off someting like this but it seems they are getting greedy. Thanks but no thanks (not that I could afford one anyways)...
