Scottish Watches Podcast #724 : Honouring a Hero with Hautlence

Update: 2025-11-07

Description

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 724!

This week, we dive deep into the mechanical minds of Hautlence, the experimental sibling of H. Moser & Cie, now steered by Cedric, the brand’s new creative lead. We unpack how a small Neuchâtel think-tank became a Schaffhausen powerhouse of kinetic design.

From the wandering-hour Vagabonde and the retrograde Linear to the mind-bending Sphere with its triple-axis rotation. Cedric breaks down the real mechanics behind these displays, the shared engineering ecosystem with Moser and Precision Engineering, and how 3D printing and modular calibres are letting Hautlence rethink horological architecture.

Then we get to the big one: the new Linear Giadomo Agostini edition, a red-and-silver tribute the MotoGP legend of the same name, blending racing cues with the brand’s gearbox-like linear time display.
