The present Moser Perpetual 1 Heritage is one of those pieces whose creation is not backed by marketing or commercial reasons but rather for the sake of pure craftsmanship, poetry and the quest for beauty.
The watch is a limited edition of 10 pieces made for the brand’s 10th anniversary in 2016 and inspired by a pocket watch from the late 19th century. One cannot be anything but mesmerized by the incredible work on the double hinged case, no less than 5 different artistic crafts were used for this creation, combining guilloché, cloisonné enamel, grand feu enamel, engraving and gem-setting. Even the case flanks are engraved and enameled.
The case work is intricate and complicated whereas the indications on the dial are zen-like and pure. Moser’s perpetual calendar is extremely user-friendly. It is heralded for allowing both forward and backward adjustment of the date functions with the patented double-pull crown. The month is displayed by a delicate central hand referring to the hour markers as the twelve months of the year, while the leap year cycle indicator is visible on the movement side and adjustable with the setting pin through the pusher on the side of the case. The movement of the watch also boosts a seven-day power reserve which is shown by the power reserve display at the 9 o’clock of the dial.
An incredible watch in absolutely every sense, the present watch is in superb condition and complete with its full set of accessories.
