H. Moser Swiss Alp Watch Final Upgrade
At a quick glance, you wouldn’t be wrong to assume this were an Apple Watch with an upgraded strap in the middle of a software update, but it’s actually a mechanical watch designed to poke fun at Apple’s wearable. Inside the H. Moser Swiss Alp Watch Final Upgrade is the company’s Calibre HMC 324 movement, which promises 96 hours of time-keeping between windings, but on the front is a minimalist face covered in the same light-absorbing Vantablack paint that once caused an unfortunate museum visitor to fall into an eight foot hole.
It gives the Swiss Alp Watch Final Upgrade the appearance of having an OLED display, an illusion which is further reinforced with a spinning ‘thinking’ icon that runs indefinitely, even though the timepiece doesn’t have software upgrades. It’s a fun alternative to the distractions of a smartwatch, with better ‘battery’ life, but at $30,800, is far less affordable.
