Designer
Emmanuel Gueit
Emmanuel Gueit came from a family of Geneva jewellers and was barely into his twenties when he drew the oversized Royal Oak Offshore in 1993 — a watch the house's traditionalists resisted and collectors turned into an icon.
Historical significance
H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner 43 mm Salmon Platinum sits within H. Moser & Cie.'s Streamliner line, introduced in 1958. It carries the house codes established since 1828 — platinum 950 case, salmon dial and in-house automatic — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.
- The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.

Brand history
H. Moser & Cie. has spent more than 198 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Streamliner, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Heinrich Moser established H. Moser & Cie. in 1828, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every H. Moser & Cie. calibre produced today.
