H. Moser & Cie. Perpetual Calendar Heritage Limited Edition Watch Review

H. Moser & Cie. Perpetual Calendar Heritage

Independent watch brand H. Moser & Cie. debuted a distinctive dual-cover watch inspired with a late 19th-century pocketwatch from the archives.

This wrist watch marks the brand’s tenth anniversary.

The Perpetual Calendar Heritage Special Edition situation is really a pocketwatch-type situation crafted in 5N rose gold, calculating 46 mm x 13.6 mm. It's gemstone-set (28 diamonds, .31 carat) and enameled. Distinctively, you will find pocketwatch-style “cloisonné” enamel and guilloché covers, back and front. The wire lugs provide a nod towards the past without disturbing the case’s aesthetic. (The vintage pocketwatch that inspired it didn't, obviously, have lugs.)

Aptly, the dial is made while using “Grand Feu” enamel technique

Which harkens to historic watchmaking, to an occasion when there have been far less machines carrying it out and many processes were made by hands.

Black Roman numerals mark the hrs, with train-track-style rings for minutes and small seconds. The dovetail-formed hour and minute hands are flame-blued, in addition to individuals for that power reserve and small seconds. The 3rd central hands, that is black, shows the several weeks of the season while using twelve indices, as around the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar. A sizable window at 3 o’clock shows the date, shown on two disks.

H. Moser & Cie. fitted its Perpetual Calendar Heritage Special Edition having a notched crown outfitted using the brand’s “Double Pull Crown” system and fitted having a push-button mechanism for opening top of the situation cover.

Hands chamfered, set with two gemstone finish-gemstones, and including a hands-engraved hallmark. The Two.5-Hz, by hand wound movement has 28 jewels, along with a power reserve that will work for 7 days because of double barrels. Furthermore, there's two functional gemstone finish-gemstones within the Incabloc shock absorber.

Each timepiece is combined with a hands-stitched brown crocodile leather strap having a red gold folding clasp using the Moser emblem. Like another of Moser’s SIHH launches, the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Concept, he H.Moser & Cie. Perpetual Calendar Heritage (Ref. 8341-0400) is restricted to simply 10 pieces.
