BLACKER THAN BLACK
To celebrate the launch of its e-commerce site (shop-now.h-moser.com), H. Moser & Cie has released three new timepieces that bring stylish controversy to your wrist—a move that’s completely in line with a brand that brought you the Swiss Mad watch with a bezel made out of Swiss cheese. This time, however, it’s Vantablack that H. Moser has set its sights on, using the world’s blackest man-made black on its Venturer Vantablack Black Hands, Venturer Vantablack Black Hands XL and Endeavour Tourbillon Vantablack Black Hands timepieces. So where’s the controversy, you ask? In 2016, British artist Anish Kapoor acquired the exclusive rights to the awe-inspiring hue and earned himself as many headlines as it did ire from the art community
