Their icon watch is my favorite Moser troll, its so absurd and on point and somehow they did it several years before it _really_ became relevant. I love Moser, they are one of my 'attainable grails' and that playfulness is a big factor why.
There's an even crazier H. Moser Swiss Alp Watch called Concept Black that features a tourbillon and a minute repeater but NO hands. So the only way to...be told the time is to activate the minute repeater function. Completely ridiculous but also completely unique.
Thank you for buying our watch.
This is like a super high end novelty. It's very cool and if I were a millionaire and could afford several high end watches, I'd definitely get one. It's like buying a Super Mario G-shock, but at a much higher economic level.

Love, love, love it! Thanks Teddy, great piece.
Love the refreshing audacity. I think the price is fair considering the context and craftsmanship. I especially love the way the movement fits into the case.
I have an Apple watch, because it was gifted to me. It’s great for throwing on my wrist right before hiking/walking or biking. It will never replace my favored timepieces, but I do like the Apple watch more than anticipated. There’s space for the newer tech & traditional watches - competition (even indirect) is good.

The finishing on the back is technically not ‘côtes de Geneve’, which is evenly spaced stripes- this is Moser’s own proprietary pattern, alternating large and small stripes.

I enjoy it, as T mentions, as a work of art. As such, it is executed perfectly, runs really accurately, and as a tongue-in-cheek is wonderful. It's elegant enough to be worn black tie. Should I become target market, I would love to have one.
What an intro! Had a good laugh
My first Apple Watch was a gift when my first son was born. It was a lifesaver when I couldn’t get a hand free with a newborn randomly asleep on me at any given time. After that and a couple years later it is still a staple in my rotation
U calling Siri set my HomePod off lol
$30k for a watch is way out of my price range but I can appreciate the styling even if it feels a little bit gimmick-y. Cool to get a rundown of it. Great vid.

The seconds display is truly an ingenious design!
Absolutely love this piece, nearly bought it & I had to chain myself
00:09 WTF part 👌, I laughed so hard
Brilliantly sardonic. I’d have one if my other grails were already achieved, which I assume the owner has the means of accomplishing. Well played!
Amazing intro, 10/10 made me laugh
The loading screen beeing the small second hand is hilarious
That intro had my phone going off every time you said it lmao
Yep, and Apple is going to put a display on the back now, too. 😂
Vertically Aligned Nano Tube Array or VANTA is a modern marvel. I think HMC has applied a Musk style approach and made something cool to give designers a sense of what could be possible with this relatively new material. I hope some new brands will look to "play" with VANTA in design, eventually it will bring the price down so lowly jubs like myself might be able to get a hold of one. Thanks Teddy for the video! I wonder if you would be able to create a video on how it VANTA works. I have watched other KZread tutorials, but I Teddy you have a nack for clarity and consision.
Every time when I think about what watch I could buy for $30k makes almost impossible for me I would ever buy Swiss Alp watch - always will be another better watch in this price point.
I wouldn’t recommend shouting Siri in videos, all Apple devices will go off 😂

Frankly, I keep Hey, Siri turned off on my Apple Watch. I just said it out loud in front of several Apple devices. It doesn’t work like that. It works on tone of voice. You have to address it directly.

The intro lol
Look up "stealth wealth" in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of the Swiss Alp Watch 😂
The first edition of the watch was new in line with looking like an Apple Watch. Wouldn’t spend that large sun on this watch, it is very interesting to look and and the finishing is impeccable as always
What do you think about wearing two watches one on each wrist? One is an Apple (Smart)Watch (for the health tracking and tech benefits) and the other is a mechanical watch for the style?
When this watch was released, the case shape was almost an exact 1:1 match of the "Apple Watch Edition" which Apple was charging $17,000 for. The Moser Swiss Alp had an MSRP of $25000 at that time. I know the values of these Mosers have went up a bit, I wonder what the $17,000 Apple Watch is worth now???

Now that you have summoned my HomePod mini and two of my phones, I may watch the rest of this.
Thanks for activating my homepod and apple watch at the same time. lol
Oh wow, finally, we see a watch with vanta black. Maybe we will see them in some divers soon? But a brilliant play by Moser indeed. Applause applause.
This watch looks very interesting. Although it would be pretty funny if the company made another set but instead of a loading screen, it's the spinning pinwheel on a mac.

Have a look at the titan edge mechanical
Ok, so this is what it takes to make Teddy say "What the f...!". Gotta love this watch...

@@DanaTheInsane I think there is value in its irony, its existence is already a statement, something like old watchmakers can adapt to the modern times too Or even the face with the loading screen perpetually showing a flaw of smartwatches that need to load and update constantly (something that doesn't happen with mechanical watches) I just think it's brilliant, maybe not as a fashion item but it's definitely avant-garde art
I was just listening to KC sports radio talk today and Mitchell Schwartz name came up on what athletes like to spend their excess money on. Mitchell Schwartz is a a watch guy. Tonight I watch Teddy’s new video and Mitch has a cameo on it. Weird and cool.
Teddy said F*CK !!! :D Nice intro.
Teddy is my watch "Yoda" I don't even consider a watch until I checkout his reviews.
That’s the most expensive thing I ever seen with a perpetual ‘Loading…’ icon
Wow ... didn't realize that the loading screen is the second hand 😍😍
I think it’s one of the coolest watches of our era, that I had to pay premium to buy it, coz Moser won’t build this shape anymore and when I hand this watch to my son it will resemble a piece of our tech history.
Very clever and cool.

This will definitely be a classic watch, and it will definitely last longer than any apple watch.
Teddy! The monolith on the moon in the book "2001: A Space Odyssey" was 100% black. So the only way to get it's shape, was to feel it. Cool. PS Really cool idea and watch. PSS On the black theme, how did Akira Kurosawa "show" silence after a battle was over. Instead of total silence in the next scene, there was just a small bird tweeting.

I'm more impressed with how it looks like a screen on an apple watch. I'm not sure if it's because of recording it on video but certainly you would need a keen eye to discern that it's an analog watch.
Cie is the abbreviation of Compagnie, pronounced Kompanjie, accent on the last syllable, nj as the Spanish ñ. Cie is always pronounced in full.
