H. Moser & Cie
H. Moser & Cie recently has been getting a lot of increased visibility (as a brand), as well as praise & adulation from WIS-types and on watch collector web sites. So what do you think: Is it time to put Moser on to the same rarified 'pedestal of greatness' as Lange and Patek, when it comes to the top-tier of high-end dress watches?

Interesting Question
You ask " Is it time to put Moser on to the same rarified 'pedestal of greatness' as Lange and Patek, when it comes to the top-tier of high-end dress watches? I would respectively answer that Moser has a fantastic product line, all their watches are super...
I don't think they have reached that tier
I don't know if Moser finishing has improved these past several years, but if it hasn't, then they are not even close to the top tier level. When a couple of us examined the first Mosers that came out, the finishing was just average at best. Hopefully the...
I think it depends on the definition of "top tier"
Everyone has a different method of subjectively defining this mythical hierarchy. If you define it with a heavy emphasis on a consistent market presence as a benchmark of high level manufacturing with lower volume and uninterrupted history, then brands li...
Too early to tell...
The brand also has been promoting big here in Japan, too. Advertisement on business news paper with photo of Mayu, and I read it on the commuter train with my Mayu on the wrist Seriously, though, I don't think the brand has reached the "tier" yet. It has ...
They need to do more things better.
I don't know whether the watches are genuinely top quality, but if they are Moser still needs to come out with a broader line of models, movements and complications. It will also take them a while to recover from their early delivery and quality issues. T...
While I really like G.O.
I don't see them at the same overall level as their close relative brand, Lange. I say this as one who does not own a Lange, but does own a PanoMaticLunar. They seem to make a wide variety of pieces that are aimed at the watch afficianado at a reasonable ...
Regarding innovation: definitely ....
Regarding style: well, Moser has an own style, but if you have one watch, there is no design variation, and thus only little motivation to buy another. The other brands have a wider array of designs and models. Regarding finish: Well, this is dificult: Pe...
I like Moser...
for my collection style, every watch I own should meet minimum quality and innovation criteria.. to put it simply, stands out from its product line, even among its peers. I don't compare Moser against other manufactures the way you would pitch it... I gue...
Mech, that's killer!
I finally had the opportunity to try on a Perpetual 1 this week, also in Platinum. Wow. I had forgotten about the shaped caseback. The case and dial were truly gorgeous. Best, CaliforniaJed
I would place it above Patek dollar for dollar
that's, to me, a no brainer. True, Moser does not make the variety that PP does. But at it's price point, it blows Patek away, for execution, fine detail, overall finish... Moser is more in league with Lange, but softer, less intellectual, more classicall...
