Marking the 10th anniversary of its perpetual calendar, H. Moser & Cie. pays tribute to exceptional artisan watchmaking with the Perpetual Calendar Heritage Limited Edition, a salute to watchmaking past and present.
It is the distillation of H. Moser & Cie's 187 years of watchmaking expertise. The inspiration behind the Perpetual Calendar Heritage Limited Edition came from an H. Moser pocket watch dating from the late 19th century in the firm's collection. The case on this model, made from a striking blue, engraved enamel and studded with diamonds, inspired the watchmakers at the Schaffhausen-based Manufacture to reinterpret this watch, calling on the best craftsmen to work on the case.
Featuring cloisonné enamel on a case with two covers, guilloché, engraving and setting techniques as well as Grand Feu enamel on the dial. On either side of the watch is a cover with hand-engraved, guilloché decoration, extending up the side of the case. These have then been enamelled, demonstrating the highest level of craftsmanship, and set with diamonds on the dial side.
Technical Specifications: Ref. 8341-0400
