What makes H. Moser watches very rare? Well, it’s a combination of three things. First, we’re an independent, Swiss, family-run business which believes in challenging the norm – this is nothing new as H. Moser & Cie. has a long history of entrepreneurialism. Second, all of our movements are manufactured in-house. Every watch we make is built and finished by hand, hence we make very few watches. And third, we make ingenious products. Our watches house unique features and our complications are simple and functional. It’s part of our DNA to do everything in our power to make better watches. Few watchmakers can boast one of the above, let alone all three. So, when you acquire an H. Moser, you can rest assured that you own something not only truly exceptional but also very rare.
