but something special warmed my heart. Best, Thomas...  

Cool H. Moser & Cie. Is it the Henry Double Hairspring?

Best wishes Alkiro

Yes,

 
 By: MTR : February 17th, 2017-08:17
it is

Great choice ;-)

Thanks a lot, Alkiro1 :-)

The double hairspring was introduced in 2009. And discontinued very soon.... Best, Thomas

My information is

 
 By: MTR : February 17th, 2017-14:57
that constructing and regulating the spring turned out to be very expensive (like producing a tourbillon). Best, Thomas

I hope their financial situation

 
 By: MTR : February 17th, 2017-15:27
has improved significantly. It\'s such a good brand.

Yes, H. Moser & Cie is in a better financial situation today and I hope they'll keep or improve it.

Even if I\'m not totally convinced by all their new timepieces, I love diversity generally speaking and that\'s something really important, in my opinion, for us watch collectors. The most diversity we experience, the most happiness we have ;-) Best wishe... 

I feel like you, Alkiro!

You are completely right. What I appreciate very much is their flexibility. End of December 2014 my favorite AD showed me his last new Henry in white metal. He had stored it in his safe for "special customers and friends". It was a WG case with a silver-p... 

No, it's definitely not the case

with many other high end brands if you are not a "premium customer". For example: it took me five (!) months to get a new (and simple) leather bracelet for a watch from another premium (not independent) brand. I ordered it at the same AD which has been ve... 

Horology industry and, more specifically, high end brands which belong to listed companies are at a turning point today (not a fatal one but an important one nevertheless).

 
 By: Alkiro1 : February 18th, 2017-00:29
Customers are, may be, still able to pay "crazy" prices but they want respect and a high end service too. Hope brands will understand that very soon but I think it\'s the case (at least I hope so). I gave my Emil Lange for a full service two days ago. I\'... 

Fair prices and a respectful treatment...

 
 By: MTR : February 18th, 2017-00:45
It\'s all you need. By the way: the costs of the bracelet were ridiculous high... I cross all my fingers for your Lange. Please keep us informed. Best, Thomas P.S.: My bad experience was not with Lange.

Many thanks my friend I will

 
 By: Alkiro1 : February 18th, 2017-00:48
Not really surprised about the bracelet\'s price unfortunately. Best wishes Alkiro

Complex and expensive

 
 By: williebegoode : October 11th, 2020-06:56
MTR ... that was what I heard when I enquired at HMC a few years ago. It was a complex mechanism and very expensive to make and service. I got mine new in WG about 3 years ago and it's been functioning beautifully... will have it serviced ($$$$) when it n... 

Mine too still works

 
 By: MTR : October 11th, 2020-10:27
accurately and completely flawlessly. No service needed so far. Obviously we both have made a good decision! 😊 Best Thomas

Except...

Great shot!

I can

 
 By: MTR : February 17th, 2017-23:47
completely understand that!! Best, Thomas

Contact them directly or via a good AD.

 
 By: MTR : February 18th, 2017-00:15
Perhaps you will be lucky. Best, Thomas

I will try the direct route eventually. Good idea.

 
 By: agyzace : February 18th, 2017-04:22
Good AD...that\'s tough these days, for a brand small as Moser. All the very best Thomas, Alex

Dear Alex, I think there are some good ADs

 
 By: MTR : February 18th, 2017-13:42
in Switzerland and Austria. If you are interested I can send you my contact person who helped me with my Moser. All the best, Thomas

That would be very generous Thomas

I appreciate your gesture, very much. All the very best, Alex

Just sent you a PM

No dear Thomas, it continues getting suppressed.. :-(

 
 By: agyzace : February 20th, 2017-09:00
I wrote you back, but got an automatic answer. Would he great if we can overcome the technical challenge Thanks so much and all the very best, Alex

Dear Alex,

 
 By: MTR : February 20th, 2017-09:42
yesterday I have sent you an E-Mail to the address you told me. Please check this and give me your feedback. The final possibility will be a phone call Best, Thomas

Dear Thomas

 
 By: agyzace : February 20th, 2017-09:53
Just sent an email; please let me know in case you got it. All the very best Alex

So happy that it worked finally :-)

 
 By: MTR : February 21st, 2017-03:33
Please keep us informed! All the best, Thomas

I think it's possible.

 
 By: Luis6 : February 18th, 2017-00:29
Ask your local Moser dealer to make a request for you.

great watch indeed , i also took your root and changed the silverdial on my WG to the Grey Fume dial in fact Alkis did it himself

 
 By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : February 21st, 2017-01:36
the Grey Fume dial is just breathtaking to look at enjoy your Henry in the best of health Best, Mo

Many thanks, Mo,

Beautiful watch and shot!

And a perfect matching of wheel and leather strap. Is this an original strap from Moser? Best, Thomas

No the strap was custom from Attila aszooli

A tan croco and kangaroo in the inside

Impressive!!
