When Moser Met Motorsport: The Alpine Collaboration That’s Redefining Watch Partnerships

Let’s face it: when watch brands and car manufacturers join forces, the formula tends to be predictable. A few colour tweaks, a shared logo or two, maybe some carbon fibre thrown in for good measure and that’s usually where it ends. But with H. Moser & Cie. and Alpine Motorsports, the script was torn up and rewritten.

This isn’t a marketing handshake. It’s a full-blown, nuts-and-bolts partnership built on shared values: precision, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of performance. At the heart of it lies a big question: how does a centuries-old Swiss watchmaker actually support a modern Formula 1 and Endurance racing team not just celebrate it?

The answer is as bold as it is unexpected: two radically different watches, born from a single philosophy of collaboration. The Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition and the Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition are not variations on an existing theme. They’re new instruments shaped by real-world needs on and off the racetrack.

Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition: Racing, Revealed

Designed in conversation with Alpine’s F1 drivers, the Drivers Edition pushes mechanical chronograph design into thrilling new territory. It’s powered by a skeletonised version of the acclaimed AgenGraphe movement—developed with AGENHOR—and strips the dial down to its mechanical essence.

Everything you see is intentional: two V-shaped bridges that echo the geometry of an F1 car’s suspension, a central bridge shaped like a racing helmet, and a skeletonised rotor inspired by the Alpine A110’s wheel rims. There’s even a flyback chronograph function—a nod to the split-second restarts demanded on the track. The aesthetic is pure Alpine: deep blues, crisp whites, and open-worked architecture that feels as aerodynamic as a Formula 1 chassis. Minimalist, legible, and brimming with kinetic energy, it’s a driver's watch through and through.

Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition: Built for the Pit Wall

The second watch is something the industry has never quite seen before—a purpose-built digital-analogue hybrid created for the team behind the scenes. This one’s for the engineers, strategists, and mechanics who operate in milliseconds, not minutes. The Mechanics Edition integrates cutting-edge connected tech, developed alongside Alpine, into a wearable tool. It displays everything from GMT and split-seconds chronograph to perpetual calendar and F1-specific countdown timers. When inactive, it’s a mysterious black screen. When activated, it becomes a live control hub for the race weekend.

Yet, in true Moser style, there’s also a traditional soul beneath the digital face. A small Funky Blue fumé dial with analogue time and date sits elegantly off-centre proof that smartwatches can have personality, too. The mechanics watch is no disposable gadget. With a power reserve that lasts up to a year in time-only mode and enough juice for six Grand Prix weekends in connected mode, it's built for longevity. Compatible with Android and iOS, it syncs via Bluetooth but only when needed, preserving focus and battery life alike.

A Long-Term Vision, Not a Pitstop

This isn’t a one-lap launch. The Streamliner Alpine Drivers and Mechanics Editions mark the beginning of an endurance partnership. Sold together in an exclusive box set and limited to 200 pieces globally, they represent a new frontier in collaborative watchmaking—functional, expressive, and forward-thinking. And there’s more to come. H. Moser & Cie. has confirmed that future developments are already in the pipeline, with the Mechanics Edition also made available (separately) to owners of the Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine editions launched earlier in 2024.

In a world where partnerships can feel like surface-level alliances, Moser and Alpine are proving that authenticity, engineering, and creativity still have pole position.
