H. Moser & Cie. has introduced the Pioneer Centre Seconds Purple Mist, a limited edition commemorating the 76th anniversary of King Fook Jewellery, produced especially for the King Fook shop in Hong Kong. The 40 mm watch is constructed from lightweight titanium, featuring a uni-directional rotating bezel and a curved sapphire crystal, providing a sporty yet sophisticated appearance appropriate for everyday use.

The watch's Purple Haze fumé dial showcases sunburst finishing and a smoked treatment that alludes to the joyous idiom "Purple Mist from the East," historically linked to luck and rejuvenation in ancient Chinese culture. The applied indices in Globolight® and hour markers coated with Super-LumiNova® improve visibility in low light, while the applied hands and finishing elements underscore the model's modern design.

The Pioneer Purple Mist contains the in-house HMC 200 automatic caliber, with a bi-directional pawl winding mechanism and a Straumann® hairspring. The movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour, has 27 jewels, features hacking seconds, and provides a minimum three-day power reserve, merging solid technical specifications with elegant finishing.

The watch is restricted to only 38 units and is available with both a titanium bracelet and a black rubber strap for adaptability. Co-owner Bertrand Meylan views the new store as an elegant convergence for horology aficionados and identifies the Pioneer Centre Seconds Purple Mist as the inaugural installment in what he anticipates will be a “prolonged and dynamic collaboration.” For additional details, please consult King Fook's official website.
