Here we have the exquisite 2019 H. Moser & Cie Pioneer Tourbillon Midnight Blue. Limited to 1 of 50 pieces. First introduced in 2018, pre-SIHH (Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie) is one of the world's largest trade shows in watches and jewellery. As part of their sports collection, it has a unique stainless steel case with brushed and polished surfaces that transition with elegant lines. The sculpted flanks of the case have deep recesses with exquisite grill engraving. Reminiscent of the streamlined automobiles of the 1930s and 40s. Its lug-to-lug length of 51mm and a case thickness of 14mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side, a signed crown with the “M”. A polished bezel has soft, rounded edges holding a domed sapphire crystal. The incredible Midnight-Blue fumé dial features an outer chapter ring with lume pips. Applied facet-edged obelisk-shaped indexes float above the dial, marking the hours. As you rotate your wrist, they catch the light in a magical way. Elegant semi-skeletonised leaf hands are filled with Super LumiNova. The star of the show is the large aperture of the Tourbillon, featuring a gold balance and skeletonised bridges; it is a sight to behold. As you look into the beating heart of the incredible Calibre.HMC 804 movement, you travel back in time to the Horology craftsman of the past.  On the reverse, a screwed-down exhibition case back. Inside an automatic Tourbillon HMC 804, 28 jewels, 21,600 beats per hour. The skeletonised rotor is made of 18ct Gold with an engraved H. Moser & Cie. motif.

Heinrich Moser, born in Schaffhausen, founded H. Moser & Cie. in 1828. As a young entrepreneur, he quickly learnt about the watchmaking profession. He found himself in St.Petersburg and soon became “the specialist” for its aristocracy. They built a factory employing several hundred craftspeople in Switzerland. He produced around 500,000 watches during his lifetime. The watches ranged from three-hand watches to incredible “grande complications”. Heinrich was passionate and deeply involved in the industrialisation of Schaffhausen, including the building of the first Swiss dam, which featured an innovative hydro-mechanical turbine to produce energy for the machinery used in watch production. Due to the “quartz crisis,” they became a part of the Dixi Mechanique Group. Their original brand name was changed, becoming "Hy Moser & Cie". In 2002, Dr Jürgen Lange and Heinrich Moser's great-grandson, Roger Nicholas Balsiger, founded Moser Schaffhausen AG. In 2005, they built a new factory in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and H. Moser & Cie's trademark was formally re-launched. The MELB Holding Group has owned H. Moser & Cie, CEO, the former boss at Audemars Piguet, Georges-Henri Meylan. They have been based in Le Brassus in Switzerland since 2012.
