Introducing The H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Ceramic Alpine Limited Edition

Alright, let's play a little hypothetical game of "$100,000 Shopping Cart"—a game that I totally didn't just make up. Earlier this year, Moser launched a Streamliner with a ceramic case and red dial, and it also had a ceramic bracelet. Now they've done the same case but with an Alcantara strap and a skeletonized movement, which is a bit sportier, but you lose the ceramic bracelet. The red on the previous release was a bit too loud for me. But I'm sure you can get other strap options easily if you ask nicely.

Alright, let's play a little hypothetical game of "$100,000 Shopping Cart"—a game that I totally didn't just make up. Earlier this year, Moser launched a Streamliner with a ceramic case and red dial, and it also had a ceramic bracelet. The retail price was just over $110,000. Now they've done the same case but with an Alcantara strap and a skeletonized movement, which is a bit sportier, but you lose the ceramic bracelet. If you pick the latter, you save around $15,000. Which would you go for?

All things being equal, I'd probably go with the newest release. It's a good-looking watch, and there's just something great about the mix of colors. The red on the previous release was a bit too loud for me. My only concern is the strap material. I would have loved something rubber-lined (or just rubber, period). If anyone has been in a hot sports car with an Alcantara steering wheel, it's nice and supple for about 15 minutes before things start to get a bit too sweaty. But I'm sure you can get other strap options easily if you ask nicely.
