Key Features
A high grade movement from the famous Swiss brand, Hy Moser & Cie, with an original signed enamel dial, long thin numerals and the finest original hands, all in perfect condition. This timepiece is a great wrist chronometer with its own special vintage pocket watch movement in a new, custom-made stainless steel case.
The movement is an early 1880-1890’s caliber with ‘wolf’s teeth’ wheels and a Moser hallmark on the mainplate. Its fine inner workings can be viewed through the glazed display caseback.
About Hy Moser & Cie
Hy Moser & Cie was founded in 1826 by Johann Heinrich Moser. Moser’s factory produced a wide range of pocket watches for both men and women in a large variety of different types and styles, which became so popular that the company began to have a consistent problem with counterfeits. In 1868, Moser, together with the American Florentino-Ariosto Jones, created a new watch company called the ‘International Watch Company’, which became a pioneer of the industrial production of watches in Switzerland.
The Hy Moser & Cie factory was revived in Schaffhausen, Switzerland in 2005, and is now among the top ten independent watch manufactories. It produces interesting luxury watches with special functions. Remarkably, the designs from the original samples of vintage Moser movements are echoed in the basic style and shape of the movements produced today.
