So a few weeks ago, I gathered most of our editors and contributors and came with THE big question, one that seems simple at first, but in fact, isn’t.

Introducing – H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Vantablack

We introduced the H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Tourbillon Concept back in 2017 and were in awe of its striking minimalism. No name, no indices, no logo – just an hour and minute hand above a flying tourbillon, surrounded by a stark blue dial. Although stripped to its bare essentials, the piece was unmistakably from […]

Introducing – H. Moser & Cie Heritage Centre Seconds Funky Blue

About a year ago, H. Moser & Cie surprised us by introducing a retro-styled, pilot-inspired steel watch as an exclusive limited edition for Swiss retailer Bucherer, followed by a tourbillon model. Given the potential of this lovely entry-price steel watch, we thought that Moser would follow-up with a regular collection Heritage centre seconds… And it is now available with an electric blue dial bringing an additional touch of modernity and that unmistakable Moser twist. Meet the H. Moser & Cie Heritage Centre Seconds Funky Blue.

Complications, when it comes to horology, are all the functions of a watch in addition to the display of the time. Complications are what make mechanical watches attractive – and indeed, horology might be the only place where we can enjoy complication upon complication.

Hands-on – H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Perpetual Calendar MD (with New Display)

For some years now, H. Moser & Cie’s perpetual calendar, wheather in the Endeavour or the Pioneer cases, has been characterized by its exclusive, highly pure display – mostly known for its small, central arrow to indicate the month. Certainly, this was both a signature style for the brand and resulted in a clean look… Apparently too clean and not legible enough according to the brand, which is introducing a revised version of its sporty QP, the Pioneer Perpetual Calendar MD – and MD means Month-Date.

Introducing – H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Centre Seconds Funky Blue Black Edition (Hands-On)

When it comes to H. Moser & Cie. you certainly figure an elegant, slightly original watch with an ultra-clean “fumé” dial. And you’d be right in thinking so. However, there’s more at Neuhausen am Rheinfall (the home of the brand). The brand also has a sports watch under its sleeve, under the name Pioneer – which we’ve already reviewed here. Today, Moser launches its boldest version to date, with a signature Funky Blue dial and, more original, a black DLC-coated case. Meet the Pioneer Centre Seconds Funky Blue Black Edition.
