Independents

Dear Purists! Today I have freed my beloved H. Moser & Cie. Henry Double Hairspring from my safe deposit box. A very very good day, isn't it? Last December I had the luck to find this special beauty at my favorite AD, and it was love at first sight. A ton...  

Honey words in my ear!

..... like a bear, Nicolas :-D

A truly wonderful watch. Thanks for sharing.

Just out of curiosity, how large is your wrist? This looks perfect on you.

I will try to satisfy your curiosity ;-) 17 cm, if I have measured correctly... Maybe plus/minus 0,5 cm during the day. Cheers, Thomas

This is something we often notice about independents: the possibility to have cutomized versions. I'm glad you found what you like and especially when it is a shaped watch. I was surprised as I didn't know Moser made such cases. it looks great! Congratula... 

Yes, Moser has proved very flexible and customer-oriented. I find it amazing that they didn\'t hesitate to develop and implement a specific, tonneau shaped movement on a very high quality level. Moser produces such a small amount of watches a year, and es... 

I just shared it on PuristSPro's Instagram page Cheers, Anthony

Thank you very much, Anthony! Still being a learning novice and "photographic greenhorn" in our community I\'m very happy about your positive and encouraging feedback. Cheers, Thomas

Also did not know they did such cases - very nice indeed! I think it would only be proper for them to supply you with some Fume cuff links, too

Moser introduced the double hairspring in 2009 in the tonneau shaped model Henry. But constructing and regulating the spring turned out to be nearly as expensive like producing a tourbillon. Therefore the Henry model was discontinued soon.... Best, Thomas... 

In that case you are truly keeping with Moser\'s motto \'Very Rare\'.

White gold with fume dial on a Henry. A piece unique indeed My AD told me in the earlier days, Moser only provided their signature fume dial on palladium cases. It was until later they included pink gold or white gold with fume dials (and they added more ... 

Thank you very much for your kind words! The Mayu is also a very appealing and tempting piece of artwork! Do you have a wrist shot of yours? I love the very pure, sophisticated and elegant look of the Mayu and especially the design of the dial with its po... 

Here you go The Mayu with marrone dial? That was the limited edition for Japan is it? I don\'t think it is available anymore. Cheers Robin ...  

Can\' get enough of this dial and how it plays with the light caught with your photo. And this watch size fits your wrist perfectly. I think I saw the Endeavour Centre Seconds with the Marrone dial combined with a WG case a few months ago at my AD. By the...  

Is beautiful! Indeed a good match with my Reverso 1948 I don\'t have the blue fume dial. Maybe you saw a pic where the grey fume dial played with light and looked blue? Cheers Robin

It was your post with the macro shots, and it\'s of course the grey Fumé. Really amazing how your Fumé dial plays with the light.... Cheers, Thomas
