Pre-Owned H. Moser & Cie. × Azuki "Elements of Time" Collection
Experience a rare fusion of Swiss craftsmanship and digital culture through the limited H. Moser & Cie. × Azuki Pioneer Centre Seconds collection — four elemental designs that bring the Azuki universe to life through engraved guilloché artistry and Moser's renowned minimalism.
A Collaboration Between Swiss Horology and Digital Culture
The 1916 Company is honored to present the H. Moser & Cie. × Azuki "Elements of Time" Pioneer Centre Seconds Collection — a groundbreaking partnership that unites centuries of Swiss watchmaking tradition with the expressive, community-driven world of Azuki. Although these watches appear within our pre-owned catalog for internal classification, each piece is brand new, produced in extremely limited quantities, and offered exclusively through The 1916 Company's showrooms and lounges.
Inspired by the Azuki Elementals — Fire, Earth, Water, and Lightning — the collection reinterprets Moser's iconic Pioneer Centre Seconds model through a cultural lens shaped by anime, streetwear aesthetics, and digital identity. The collaboration merges Azuki's visionary storytelling with the purity, restraint, and craftsmanship that define H. Moser & Cie.
Each of the four references features a bespoke engraved guilloché dial motif that embodies an elemental force: rippling waves, crackling lightning, rising flame, or trembling earth. These sculpted textures play with depth, shadow, and reflectivity, demonstrating both Moser's technical mastery and Azuki's richly illustrated universe.
The Elements of Time: Four Centre Seconds References
Every watch in this series is limited to 24 pieces, making the collection exceptionally rare. The Pioneer Centre Seconds platform provides a modern, sporty canvas for the collaboration — wearable, versatile, and unmistakably Moser.
- Fire — A dial inspired by rising flame motifs, symbolizing energy and creative spark.
- Earth — Guilloché textures echo the grounding strength of stone and soil.
- Water — A rippling, wave-like pattern that captures fluidity and calm.
- Lightning — Sharp, electric engraving expressing movement, tension, and brilliance.
