There are collaborations designed to catch the eye, and then there are those that feel inevitable — born not of marketing strategy but of a meeting of minds. The Streamliner Tourbillon Pierre Gasly, created by H. Moser & Cie. in partnership with the Formula 1 driver, belongs firmly in the latter category. It is a timepiece without bravado, a tribute to a man and his way of seeing the world: attentive, precise, attuned to essentials.
Far from a signature stamped on a dial, this watch is the result of Pierre’s direct involvement at every stage. “I have always been fascinated by this mechanism. There’s something almost hypnotic about its constant balletic motion. Its precision and technical excellence also draw parallels with the world of F1,” he says of the flying tourbillon he insisted on including. From the choice of movement to the textures and colour palette, his hand is visible in every detail.
Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie., recalls: “From the moment we first met, Pierre had a very clear idea of what he wanted. We offered him dozens of alternatives to challenge him, to push him off the beaten track. But each time, true to his instincts, he returned to this piece. His own, as we now present it.”
Design That Reflects Precision
Pierre’s chosen dial — which he named Chocolate fumé — captures something of his character: profound, refined, a touch enigmatic. Its rich, nuanced brown provides a warm contrast to the Streamliner’s 5N red gold case, the chromatic softness set against the taut, aerodynamic architecture. The effect is quietly dramatic, echoing the driver’s own balance of precision and presence.
At its core beats the automatic HMC 805 calibre, developed in-house by H. Moser & Cie.’s sister company, Precision Engineering AG, and fitted with a double hairspring for superior accuracy and stability. The one-minute flying tourbillon at six o’clock lends a hypnotic rhythm, its measured rotations embodying a perpetual quest for perfection.
Exclusive Editions: Sport-Chic and Personalised
Two editions of the watch mark this collaboration. The first, limited to 100 pieces, is paired with a chocolate rubber strap that underlines its sport-chic edge. The second, reserved for just 10 collectors, honours Pierre’s racing number. At ten o’clock, a ruby gleams discreetly on the dial — a personal, almost secret signature. This version extends the red gold case into a fully integrated bracelet, fluid and architectural.
The Streamliner Tourbillon Pierre Gasly will be unveiled on 1 October 2025 at the Singapore Grand Prix. This is H. Moser & Cie.’s singular take on haute horlogerie, distilled into a tribute to one man’s vision.
On Pierre’s wrist, under the night-time glare, it is more than a watch. It is his reflection — precise and uncompromising.
Interview: Pierre Gasly on Watches and Racing
YLA: Do you remember your very first watch? What was it, and what made it special to you at the time?
Pierre: Yes, I remember it perfectly. It was a Casio G-Shock, and I loved it. It was linked to Toro Rosso, my first team, and it was special for what it represented — a moment, a connection.
YLA: What draws you to watches in general? Is it the design, the mechanics, the heritage — or something else entirely?
Pierre: For me, it’s all three. The design catches your eye, the mechanics fascinate me as a driver, but it’s the heritage that makes it timeless. Both a race car and a fine watch are engineering turned into art.
YLA: How would you describe your personal watch style? Do you go for bold statements, understated elegance, or something more technical?
Pierre: I like pieces that make a statement without shouting. Technical, yes, but with an elegance that speaks for itself, like H. Moser & Cie. watches.
YLA: In what ways do you think watchmaking and Formula 1 are similar? Are there shared values between horology and high-performance racing?
Pierre: Both worlds are obsessed with fractions: tenths of a second, microns in tolerance. The smallest detail can change everything. There are lots of shared values, the most important being discipline, pursuit of excellence, and constant innovation.
YLA: Precision and timing are everything in motorsport. Do you find a connection between that and what you appreciate in a fine timepiece?
Pierre: In F1, you live in thousandths of a second. Watches remind me of that — the beauty of mastering time. Watches also symbolise the human side of timing: not only speed, but the importance of moments off the track. A fine timepiece combines rigour with emotion — exactly like a good race.
YLA: What’s your take on the partnership between Alpine and H. Moser & Cie? What makes this collaboration meaningful to you?
Pierre: For me, it’s not just branding – it’s a genuine meeting point of two worlds obsessed with performance and beauty. The human side of the partnership makes it meaningful. It is a fantastic human adventure.
YLA: Could you share what you enjoyed most about collaborating with Moser to create the new Streamliner piece? What details stand out to you most?
Pierre: What I really enjoyed about this collaboration was the dialogue between sportiness and elegance. That balance is exactly what I look for, not only in a watch but also in life.
The Streamliner brings together a perfect mix of materials and tones — red gold with the chocolate fumé dial — it feels warm, refined, but still powerful.
What really stands out to me is the detail of the baguette-cut ruby on the version with the red gold bracelet. That model is extremely exclusive — only 10 pieces exist — 10, like my racing number, which is something deeply personal to me. As a tribute, a ruby has been set discreetly at 10 o’clock. It’s a symbolictouch, almost a secret, that only the most attentive will notice. I love that — it’s intimate, subtle, but speaks volumes.
YLA: Do you see watches as a form of self-expression? If yes, what does this watch say about you?
Pierre: Yes, absolutely. For me, a watch is like a mirror. It reflects who you are without saying a word. The Streamliner says that I value performance, but with refinement. It shows the disciplined side of my personality, but also the part that loves design and emotion. It’s not about being loud — it’s about expressing your identity quietly, but with clarity.
In that sense, a watch becomes like a signature piece. On the track, my race suit is part of who I am. Off the track, this watch plays that same role — a symbol of my identity, always with me, always present.
YLA: In Rudyard Kipling’s poem If, the line “If you can fill the unforgiving minute / With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run” urges us to make the most of every moment. How do you apply that philosophy in a life already overflowing with purpose and intensity — and what helps you slow down enough to savour the quiet moments?
Pierre: In Formula 1, my life is exactly that: filling every second with purpose. On the track, every moment counts — you can’t waste even a fraction of time. That’s the nature of the sport.
But I’ve also learned that if you never pause, you risk losing yourself. So, I try to balance that intensity with moments that allow me to breathe. For me, that means spending time with my girlfriend, family, and friends, travelling, or just enjoying simple pleasures that bring me back to who I am beyond racing.
Time is unforgiving on the track, yes. But away from it, I think you have to forgive time — let it flow, let yourself enjoy it, even if it’s just for a quiet moment. That balance is what keeps me grounded.
