H. Moser & Cie. adds two watches to its Heritage collection, the line that keeps the closest dialogue with its history. Each draws on a different period: a chronograph inspired by the 1940s, and a three-hand watch with classic accents.
“At H. Moser & Cie., the past is never merely something to be kept under glass,” the brand says. The round cases recall pocket watches, the tapered lugs the moment those watches moved to the wrist, and the notched crown the brand’s historic pieces.
The Heritage Chronograph White fumé takes its cue from Moser chronographs of the mid-20th century. On the white fumé dial, the logo returns in its 1947 form, and the chronograph indications, graduations, subdials and hands stand out in blue around a tachymeter scale.
The Heritage Centre Seconds Espresso fumé looks back to the pocket watches converted into wristwatches with the addition of slim lugs. Its warm brown dial carries a white railway minute track and oversized applique numerals in Globolight®, a ceramic-based material containing Super-LumiNova®, on a raw kudu leather strap with white stitching.
One measures, the other keeps to hours, minutes and seconds. Both build on nearly two centuries of the brand’s own history.
