H. Moser at BaselWorld 2012

Moser presented their first automatic watch this year, the Meridian-Dual Time.
Other than that the evolution of their well known models.
One piece of news that many PuristS may welcome; the production of the Perpetual has been increased so that it should no longer be a great deal to find one on the market.
Note also the presence of some nice looking ladies models with a relatively tasteful presence of diamonds.
As we well know, Moser makes good looking timepieces, not concept art.

I am pretty much a one brand guy, but the Moser collection is doing me a lot. Love their style, shape of the case and finishing. GEO

...don't thrill me as much as the original lineup of the Mayu, Monard, Perpetual 1, and Henry Double Hairspring, but I generally like Moser's aesthetics and movements. I'd like to see the automatic in person before judging, but in photos I'm not quite sure about the rotor design. Something is not quite pleasing about it to me, but I can't put my finger on it. Thanks for the photos! Cheers, Daos

Yep, the Monard in platinum is a killer. Will be mine someday as well... but it will be a difficult choice. The Perpetual 1 is so special.
