Masena Lab and H. Moser & Cie are honoring their innovative watchmaking spirit through a new timepiece, the Endeavour Chronograph Compax.

“The Endeavour Chronograph Compax model is more than just a watch: It is a timeless declaration, a bridge between the past and present, and a marvelous illustration of the ability of both brands to push the limits of innovation ever further,” said Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie.

The watch draws inspiration from H. Mosier & Cie pieces that date back to the 20th century, thanks to the ‘Compax’ configuration.

The timepiece also comes with two subdials. One is at 9 o’clock, and the other is at 3 O’clock. Both subdials are fitted in a symmetrical manner to give the watch a 20th-century look, similar to that of old Mosier timepieces.

That H. Moser & Cie retro look is also brought out by the tachymetric scale and the historic Moser emblem. Such features are also complemented by H.Moser’s deep blue signature color.

With that said, the dial is fitted inside a 41 mm stainless steel casing that smoothly blends with the leather strap, accentuating some of the retro details.

While H. Moser & Cie is quite popular for its minimalistic details, it went all out on this new watch due to Massena Lab’s expertise.

“Taking inspiration from Moser chronographs from the 1940s, what intrigued me the most during this collaboration was the tension between the maximalist vintage aesthetic of the past,” said William Massena.

The Endeavour Chronograph Compax is $27,600; only 100 pieces will be rolled out into the market.

Hockerty wants color to stand out this summer with new Color Edit
Stand out with new summer colors from Hockerty
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

The summer is in full swing. That means you are likely dealing with the rising temperatures to the point that you are sitting back and missing the blizzards of January. I remember standing on the corner of a street in New York and watching the snowflakes fall, thinking, "I can't wait for summer and baseball." Now, I am looking back and thinking about those temperatures, and I am wishing I had enjoyed them more. As I bake like a chicken on the streets of New York, I think about how to dress for the office while dying of heat stroke. The answer? Hockerty's new Summer Edit brings light and breathable fabrics while also adding in the kinds of colors that will take your wardrobe from stylish to functional without leaving the style behind.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox usually builds watches that look ready for a covert night operation — but its newest one looks ready for a 1950s expedition instead.

The Pfäffikon, Switzerland–based brand just dropped the Adventure Watch, a field watch styled after the timepieces of the early exploration days but built to Luminox's modern military-grade standards.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists
The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.
Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.
