Dun cut yourself !
Florentine Ariosto Jones apparently rented his first factory premise in an industrial building owned by JH Moser. Energy was also provided by Moser since he also ran a hydroelectric station. This was in 1868. Not a big IWC fan therefore, am not too sure about the rest.
The red marks for the "Down" power reserve is from the Fume dial Mayu in Palladium, which also receives the Straumann double hairspring escapement with its escape wheel and pallet fork in hardened white gold.
Moser & Cie, Mayu
A short history Heinrich Moser Heinrich Moser was born in Schaffhouse in 1805. Son and grandson of watchmakers, he learnt the craft from his father, Erhard Moser. In 1824, he left Schaffhouse to set up in Locle where he perfected his knowledge in the pres...
Hey...
Congrats, we must have a mini-GTG now, seems like quite a few are turning up with the Moser in Singapore P/S;You need to take the caseback sticker off, very unglam !
Yes indeed .....
Moser fans are sprouting up like wild mushrooms all over our sunny island ........ Dunno if there is any truth to it , a little bird told me THG they jus delivered its first Moser 1 to the first Singapore customer PS. The sticker is off, the wife won
I inquired immediately after I read this and apparently
the Perpetual 1 has been held up again. 1 piece (case material not disclosed) was supposed to arrive in our shores for delivery this month. It apparently has not made it here yet and no duration has been commited on the duration. While I have been eyeing ...
Nice review ! Thanks a lot !
It's a great watch with a very interesting caliber. But next time, remove the sticker... Fr.Xavier
Congrats on a beautiful watch and great post.
I too am a proud Mayu owner............in rose gold. Another vote with your wife.............take the protective sticker off the back. It protects NOTHING. ;o) You don't have a protective sticker on the dial crystal and that one is more apt to come into c...
Intrigued...
Fascinating history and some beautiful photos. I am especially fond of the back of the movement where the lines are not evenly spaced apart; staggered lines. Mostly intrigued by the interchangeable escapement module. The whole piece is replaceable is a cl...
Different perspective
....... U brought a very interesting point. The modular escapment was what tickled me in the first place. The escapement module is indeed replaced in its entirety when the watch is sent back for servicing. Moser will have pre-regulated ones in waiting, in...
How do you feel about this?
For me the escapement is the heart of the watch, and I would sad to see it being exchanged on my watch. Any comments on this? Best, Magnus
Mixed feelings ....
........ and similar thoughts did occur to me. The shorter down time during servicing is much appreciated. And from a pragmatic point of view, gives me comfort that Moser upkeeps an inventory. Feels like u are getting a new watch everytime Guess its a com...
Congrats!
Moser offers truly great value at that price point. Dial, case and movement finish are excellent. You made an excellent choice. - SJX
Nice choice!
I find the Mayu a joy to wear (and I wear mine proudly). I hope you will as well. Best, Jed
Ditto and thanks for the history of Moser
Am enjoying my rose gold Mayu. Keeps excellent time too. I do find it stiff to wind and the milled crown can be a little sharp! Thanks for the Moser history, but what about the association with IWC? I saw a photo of a recent example with red marks for the...

Thanks all for your posts and help .. I am finally down to THE ONE
It's been a 2 year search for THE ONE WATCH since my 1st intro to the watch-world in Oct 2007 with the Hour Glass Tempus event. Was initally bewildered (and still is) with so many possible possibilities and options and having to match against a budget so ...
