H. Moser &amp; 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 &amp; 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.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>H.Moser &amp; Cie.\u00a0<\/b><b>Venturer Concept Vantablack Diamonds<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">CASE : <\/span>white gold, set with 313 diamonds (3.77cts), transparent sapphire caseback and crystal <span class=\"s1\">DIAMETER : <\/span>39mm\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">MOVEMENT : <\/span>mechanical manual-winding, HMC327 caliber with 72-hour power reserve <span class=\"s1\">FUNCTIONS : <\/span>hours, minutes, power-reserve indicator on the back <span class=\"s1\">DIAL : <\/span>Vantablack, white gold leaf-type hands <span class=\"s1\">STRAP : <\/span>black alligator with white gold pin buckle<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physicists argue that black is not a color.
