H. Moser & Cie amplifies F1 halo with Pierre Gasly Streamliner Tourbillon
Bottom Line Impact
If scarcity and delivery are tightly managed, this collaboration should lift near term sell through and ASP while reinforcing Moser's artisanal positioning and driving measurable client acquisition at attractive unit economics.
Key Facts
4- Two new Streamliner Tourbillon Pierre Gasly references announced ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, with a planned trackside debut for the driver
- Builds on earlier Driver and Mechanics Editions released this year, bringing the collaboration line to at least four references in total
- Singapore Grand Prix historically attracts 250k plus on-site attendees over three days and a global TV audience averaging roughly 70m per race across the season
