Description

The H.Moser & Cie. Limited Edition “since 1828” Heritage 8200-1701 is a tribute to the brand’s impressive history, encapsulating more than 190 years of horological excellence.

Housed in a rounded bronze case, this timepiece balances the elegance of vintage designs with a contemporary aesthetic. Its moderate 42mm size strikes a perfect balance, making the watch suitable for a variety of wrists and occasions. A beautifully domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, adding depth and a sense of old-world charm.

The dial is where this watch truly shines. It features a deep grey fumé finish, a signature of H.Moser & Cie, giving the piece an enigmatic, luxurious feel. The dial features unique “exploding” numerals and leaf-shaped hands, which are a nod to the brand’s long heritage. The “since 1828” mark is subtly engraved on the dial, a discreet yet proud testament to the brand’s enduring history.

A dark grey hand-stitched leather strap matches the dial, ensuring a coherent and elegant aesthetic. A pin buckle secures the watch, harmoniously tying the entire piece together.

H. Moser & Cie – bio

H. Moser & Cie was founded by independent watchmaker Heinrich Moser in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1828. Notable early clients of H. Moser & Cie included Russian princes and members of the Russian Imperial Court; Vladimir Lenin also owned a Moser watch. After Moser died in 1874, the company was sold, and its business in Russia was expropriated in 1918 due to the October Revolution.

In 1953, H. Moser & Cie continued its business in Le Locle, Switzerland where it shifted its focus from pocket watches to wristwatches. Due to the quartz crisis, H. Moser & Cie became a part of the Dixi Mechanique Group and the original brand name was dropped. In 2002, Moser Schaffhausen AG was founded by Dr. Jürgen Lange together with Heinrich Moser’s great-grandson Roger Nicholas Balsiger, and the brand H. Moser & Cie was formally re-launched in 2005.
