glad to hear that service works well....
...and I can easily understand your leaning towards independents. After visiting the area of the independent watchmakers at Baselworld, I said to myself that I could be entirely happy collecting only pieces from these smaller brands, which produce interesting and often very innovative timepieces. Another element of attraction of independents is the personal interaction with the owners or creative spirits behind the brands. It makes a big difference to me to know the people who stand behind the watches.

Thanks for the report
I can't quite see from the pictures but the dial looks recessed like a volcano? Aesthetically this does not work for me. I much prefer the flat dials of the old Mayu and Monard. How do you feel about this? Dean
I believe they are convex...
...with a flat center disc, and the outer ring with indices sloped downward, as was used on some Omega and other pieces from 50s and 60s.
yes, this desribes it perfectly...
...and you are right, it adds an interesting vintage element to the watch. Stefan
Yes, the outer portion of the dial is arched.
I am not sure it looks like a volcano, I would say rather not. Of course this is very personal. I liked it since it adds an interesting element to the dial without loosing its clean dial. You have to see it on your wrist, I guess, to come to a good judgme...
I'm eager to see this first hand...
I recently acquired the Monard (erm...Endeavour) Big Date and Monard (oiy...Endeavour!) Centre Seconds. I very much like the shape of the case on those. This appears to be a more svelt version of it. I'd think the 39mm will be an ideal case size since tha...
Congratulations to your impressive collection...
...of H. Moser & Cie pieces and thanks for sharing the interesting information about servicing Moser in the US, which as a European I was not aware. May I ask what defects your two Moser's had upon delivery? I am surprised to read that...one would exp...
Thanks for those links...
I had not discovered those earlier posts of yours during my previous searches, and I enjoyed reading them just now. With the transportation provided, I might have asked to be excused immediately after lunch! I was certainly disappointed that my two pieces...

Wow--this is really sensual
Gorgeous new variation on the Moser theme... the case--wow! I'm not really a dress watch guy these days... but (Nicolas will hate me for this) if it had a date ... it would be a bit more casual... more everyday wearable... and perhaaaaaps... Anyway, jokin...
glad you like it and with regard to date...
....there is the Perpetual 1 with a case that also features this sensual arch....so there is really no excuse not to buy a Moser ;-) have a good day Stefan
Thank you Nitediver, very nice indeed......
I really love this simplicity, the depth of the seconds sub-dial is fantastic. Do you know if there will be a white metal Venturer? Cheers Francois from Down Under
no mentioning of the white gold version...
Hi Francois, there was no mentioning of a WG version. I guess they focus on bringing the watches the AD's first. However, looking at their range, a WG version would only be logical, earlier or later. best stefan
