The Watch
Here we have an Unworn 2023 H.Moser & Cie Endeavour Centre Seconds Vantablack 1200-1235 with a 40mm high polished stainless steel case that gently flows over your wrist with finely tapered lugs. On the right side is a signed crown, and the stepped smooth bezel holds a domed sapphire crystal above the incredible Vantablack sandwich dial, this coating is made up of millions of carbon nanotubes which capture 99.965% of light photons, it is used in astrophysics and is known as the blackest man-made material known to exist, it gives you the impression you are looking into a black hole. The steel indexes are applied to the underside of the dial visible through cutouts on the dial marking the hours, attractive leaf hands are complemented by a purple sweeping second hand completing this visually inspiring dress watch. On the reverse a screwed-down exhibition case back showcasing the in-house Automatic HMC Cal. 200, 27 jewels, beating at 21,600 beats per hour, the blue balance bridge signifies a Straumann Hairspring which is a double hairspring that beats in opposite directions, this reduces any external effects on the escapement, a rose-gold-toned bidirectional skeletonised rotor engraved with H.Moser & Cie and the movement is tastefully decorated in Moser double stripes. The watch comes paired with its H.Moser & Cie Alligator strap with a signed buckle and the watch comes with its H.Moser & Cie presentation box and paperwork.
Personal Note
It's far from every day that you can get the opportunity to stock a Moser in Vantablack, I would argue it has quickly become one of the most recognisable Mosers for those in the know and it is truly a sight to see! If this is something you are considering adding to your collection, which you should by the way, then book an appointment and come see it for yourself, just be warned that you will likely take it!
The Brand
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 is owned by H. Moser & Cie, CEO, the former boss at Audemars Piguet, Georges-Henri Meylan. They have been based in Le Brassus in Switzerland since 2012.
