—aka 01100111 01100101 01101110 01100101 01110011 01101001 01110011 in binary code—is a tangible timepiece that nevertheless features elements closely tied to the virtual world. Within the watch’s 40 mm microblasted steel case is a 3-D-printed titanium crown and bezel that appear pixelated.Even more striking, the Vantablack dial of each Genesis watch bears a unique QR code engraved on its sapphire crystal that offers its owner access to the brand’s dedicated digital and virtual ecosystem.
“I believe we’re at the dawn of a new era,” Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie, said during the press conference, where journalists were invited to create avatars and stroll through a digital realm that included views of the Matterhorn as well as Rheinfall, the spectacular waterfall located near the brand’s home in Schaffhausen.
“At Moser, we are convinced that combining the real and digital worlds is the future of user experience,” Meylan said. “The value goes way beyond the physical products.”Antonio Russo, head of innovation for the executive team at Deloitte Switzerland, one of Moser’s partners on the Genesis project, explained that value by citing the three certificates accompanying the watch: a digital certificate of authenticity, an H. Moser warranty and e-insurance.
“Isn’t this awesome?” said Russo. “No more paper. Everything is digital and at your fingertips for perpetuity, for you and all future owners.”
