H. Moser & Cie. has added a Streamliner Retrograde Seconds, reference 6252-1200, with a midnight-blue fumé dial, integrated steel bracelet and 40mm case. Instead of circling the dial, the seconds hand travels across an arc and snaps back to its starting position every 30 seconds.
The movement is an automatic HMC 252, developed with Agenhor, with a 72-hour reserve. Water resistance is rated to 12 ATM. Moser lists CHF 29,900 excluding VAT, making this an enthusiast comparison piece rather than an affordable everyday watch.
The fun is in the mechanism. Open the official product page and study how the retrograde hand creates a sense of motion without cluttering the dial. That is also an interesting interaction-design lesson: a short, repeating mechanical gesture can convey time more memorably than a standard rotating hand.
