Physicists argue that black is not a color. Its users, on the other hand, respond that it is indeed one and perhaps even the most powerful of all. H. Moser & Cie. manages to reconcile these two points of view by staging the only total black actually available : Vantablack. This material composed of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes is sprayed onto the dial of the Venturer Concept Vantablack Diamonds. Given that it absorbs 99.965% of visible light, the watch face thus takes on the appearance of a black hole, literally if not in the astrophysical sense of the term. Its ability to retain light is so strong that the Vantablack erases any depth effects, thus creating a certain visual confusion by removing any related reference points. H. Moser & Cie. makes the most of this absolute black by marrying it with the most luminous material of all, since this abyss is circled by a bright, white, pure and intense diadem. No less than 313 snow-set diamonds (cousins of Vantablack since both are made of carbon) turn a dazzling spotlight on the edge of the arrestingly dark chasm, thereby striking the ultimate contrast.
