Limited Edition of 20 Pieces
Showcasing the skills of master craftsmen, H. Moser & Cie. has chosen the classic rounded accents of the Heritage case to pay tribute to its perpetual calendar. Its Grand Feu enamel dial in brand new shades reinterprets the aesthetic of the brand's famous Fumé dials, with their subtle color gradations.
This technical feat is further enhanced by the engraving and the enamel inserts adorning the sides of the case, which forges a link between past and present models. Reminiscent of the pocket watches converted to wristwatches in the early 1920s using fine attachments, this creation is largely inspired by vintage timepieces conceived by Heinrich Moser, founder of H. Moser & Cie.
In creating the Heritage line, H. Moser & Cie. took inspiration from the watches that evoke the brand's history from 1828 to the present day, and specifically those dating from the early 20th century. The distinctive classicism of this timepiece is evident not only in its rounded case, but also in the notched crown and Grand Feu enamel dial, brought to life by the Roman numerals and the swallow-tail hands.
Visible behind the sapphire case-back, the hand-wound manufacture caliber, which uses the indices to indicate the months, can be adjusted forwards or backwards at any time of day. Thanks to the "Flash Calendar" system, the date changes instantaneously at midnight, taking into account months with 30 or 31 days and the leap years. Decorated with Moser double stripes, the caliber HMC 800 features a double barrel for a guaranteed power reserve of 7 days.
