H. Moser & Cie– PIONEER CENTRE SECONDS SUNNY-SIDE UP : brunch time is here

A sunny watch, a well-grounded philosophy: welcome to the world of the Pioneer Center Seconds Sunny Side Up by H. Moser & Cie., where humor meets Swiss haute horlogerie.

What if the age-old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, were finally answered not in a laboratory, but on your wrist? With the Pioneer Centre Seconds Sunny Side Up, H. Moser & Cie. has created a timepiece that is as luminous as it is iconoclastic, shaking up conventions with a watch that doesn’t do things by halves.

A dial that whets the appetite for precision

Inspired by the aesthetics of a perfectly cooked fried egg, the dial plays on contrasts: a bright sunny yellow for the center, immaculate white for the rim, all served in a 42.8 mm steel case, water-resistant to 120 meters. But behind this apparent lightness lies all the seriousness of the H. Moser & Cie. manufacture, with its in-house HMC 200 self-winding caliber, offering 72 hours of power reserve and a precision that would make any atomic clock pale in comparison.

A watch with Swiss humor

The Pioneer Sunny Side Up is not just quirky: it imposes a style, a philosophy. It transforms the absurd into art, the everyday into a playground for watchmaking. And while some debate whether the chicken or the egg came first, H. Moser & Cie. reminds us that the most important thing is to savor the moment—preferably over a delicious brunch.
