The collaborative effort between Barbagallo Watch and H. Moser & Cie has yielded an exceptionally rare timepiece that has captivated the admiration of watch enthusiasts. Affectionately dubbed as “+8”, the Streamliner Tourbillon by H. Moser & Cie showcases a yellow gold case and rotor, making it the sole Moser watch dedicated to Australia. It commemorates the +8 GMT zone with a striking emerald positioned at 8 o’clock.
Conceptualized by Barbagallo Watch’s visionary founder, Troy Barbagallo, the Streamliner Tourbillon bears resemblance to his iconic Audemars timepiece. The significance of the yellow gold case and integrated bracelet resonates deeply with Troy and his native Western Australia. The focal point of this masterpiece is the time zone of his birthplace, Perth. Both timepieces boast remarkable complexity; while the Audemars Piguet +8 featured a perpetual calendar, this exquisite creation showcases a tourbillon. H. Moser & Cie's reputation for crafting the finest tourbillons is upheld here, with intricate complications that reflect Troy’s enduring passion for haute horology.
